canton tanks

anyone every deal with these guys?

I ordered a tank from them a long while ago, and they dont seem to be the fastest company in the world.
After i ordered it i was told that they were on backorder for 2-3 weeks. Ok, im in no rush, 3 weeks later, no word, so another e-mail. this time im told, they are not making as much progress on the tank and they thought, another 2 weeks. 2 weeks later and i just sent them another email, seeing whats up, they tell me they are bending up the mounting tabs now, so they should be done in 1.5 weeks!! my god, this is getting absurd, i could have had this thing made by a friend of mine 3 weeks ago, but i though this thing was on its way. this is beginning to be a big waste of time, not thrilled.

Re: canton tanks

Yeah, there backorders take a while, but they have a nice product. I deal with them regularly but I try to order stuff only if its in stock to avoid customers being unhappy with me. If you got the time to wait it out it will eventually get there.

Re: canton tanks

As in the overflow tank? Wont it be hard to tell how much coolant is in there, or is there a viewing window.

Re: canton tanks

no viewing thing, just take the cap off and look, there is not usually that much fluid in there.

Re: canton tanks

I really like that. In fact I'm surprised how much I like that.
