Tanks from Source Aquatics Calgary? Too good to be true??

[Rahim101]

Just to update this thread, I have put up a new website thats more '"official"
http://sourceaquatics.com/ as well as updated the September Specials.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I was going to buy a new set-up from Source the other day, the website states these are new units...

http://sourceaquatics.com/specials/aquariums/

92 Gal Corner Bow Front tank with matching stand, matching canopy and built in lights BLOW OUT PRICE: $650.00 (while quantities last)

I made several inquiries via e-mail and was told they would ship it to me for another $100-150...Sounds like a great deal but when I called the store, Credit card in hand, the person who I'd been communicating with wasn't available and the woman I was talking to informed me that this would be a final sale and no returns would be accepted as these were blemished units...I asked how bad they were and she replied the whole fronts were very obviously distorted....that changed my mind pretty damn fast.

I guess my real beef is that nowhere on the site does it say these are blemished units and if the woman I was talking to had not told me that (I wasn't told this in several prior e-mails) I would never had known until I received it...not the best business practice IMHO.

Food for thought...the phrase 'blow out' and aquarium should never meet in a sentence lol.

Good to see that he edited the web page for the blow out special.

"the 92 Gal Corner units above have minor Blemishes on the front panel, most disappear when the tank is filled with water. They are on sale for less than Half Price"

Too funny,...on another page they list the reg. price as $950 for the same package...

http://sourceaquatics.com/products/b...rium-packages/

Model # AC870 – 92 Gal — $950.00

So less than half price should be <$475...

I'm sure that too will change?

A simple e-mail apologizing for the misunderstanding would have held more water with me...no pun intended.
