Help me find a reliable source of cb70's

[AndrewGeibel]

I have just failed on my third attempt to get a cb70 to my house in one piece. First I ordered from I think office depot. They were such a pain in the a** that I gave up and just cut my losses. I have now had two tubs sent from reptiletubs.com. The guy is great and has great customer service but the shipping companies are so god awful that they completely demolish the boxes. The box had holes in it and without even opening the box I can hear plastic sliding around inside from where the tub is broken. I have called every store within 100 miles of here that I know stocks iris tubs and none them stock the cb70. the closest one that even carries iris tubs is like 45 miles away. What do you guys think I should do. I feel bad complaining to Eric at reptile tubs because it isn't his fault that the shipping companies play catch with all the packages they are shipping.

I get "cb-70" tubs (not the actual cb-70, but a re-done, better version) from Vision. The packing job they do is superb and on my initial order with 7 tubs, not one was even scratched.

The Iris CB-70 tub has been the workhorse of the Ball Python breeding world for over a decade now.

Vision took a great household storage tub and made it better for the purposes of animal husbandry.

The Vision V-70 tub has the same dimensions as the CB-70 tub and is 25% thicker, heavier and stronger and is all smooth on the bottom for easier cleaning and a smoother sliding tub.

Ok, I may give one of them a try. I thought the packing job done by reptiletubs.com was very good. It was completely bubble wrapped and had newspaper crumpled around it. The shipping companies must demolish the box though. The cardboard was all torn and the packaging tape was ripped. I have no idea what they must have done to those boxes. I am worried that if I order through somebody else the same thing is going to happen.

how does that extra 25% affect your heat transfer Nate?

Oh and Pat, that avatar scares the crap out of me.

Ok, looks like I may just cut my losses again and order from vision. This is getting expensive very quickly just to get a tub or two.
