Ah, but it wouldn't be me paying the freight charges.
My mum wasn't bothered about the extra money... I was worried about getting mine back though, as I had to pay for half, and £50 to an 11 year old is a fair bit. It was just how cold the other woman was about the whole thing. The first time we phoned to buy one, she said that we'd have to wait a while, until she got in her order of eight. EIGHT. (Meaning seven other people had flutes that didn't work. She also had 4 other instruments advertised.) Anywho, when we phoned her next to tell her it didn't work, it 'wasn't her problem'. We'd bought it, paid for it, it was our flute, so our problem. She said she didn't care if we took legal action, so we did

I think we've learned a lesson about buying cheap, useless things. We stick to well-known brands, and let other people have the bad experiences first, basically :P

So, what went wrong in court before?

Eh... long story. It wasn't the actual court part that went wrong. Just bad customer service at the counter. I just feel so stupid for taking legal action for so little. But, what do I do? Just let them keep my money? I don't agree with that either. That's wrong.

Just a lesson learned when you buying used tanks. Even if you leak test them before you buy, doesn't guarantee them either. I know somebody who purchased a running 300 gallon acrylic tank used. Took it home, only to have it shatter with little cracks everywhere. He was out all that money, time and hard work setting it up.

OK arron,
I've been to this store. Everyone in SoCal knows about this store. Very bad customer service and rep. This is the LFS I took those shark pictures from.

Well, I already found out about the customer service and probably about that same rep over the phone. Nevertheless, is it legit? Do they actually have good quality tanks? They're not rip-offs, are they? I'm planning a trip probably next year just for that purpose. I don't care to make such a long trip just for nothing.

I really don't think you should consider converting your room into a fish tank, when you could remove part of the floor and some walls, and convert half your house into a 45,000g tank.

But seriously, I hope it does work out. I don't think you'd find another place that will make them for you that cheap.

Hmmm... I can do without a bed so I can fit my fish. I don't think I'd like to do without a home though. Besides, I don't float that well.

I would say "not legit". There are no empty tank at the store. I'm sure they order them from somebody else.

Do you know of anyone who has bought from them that I may contact?
