Kind of funny here sometimes how some members fail to get the point.You paid for a new tank.............Or did the add say "NEW TANK WITH CRACKED HULL"....................when you bought it.?

Most places will make you pay to ship an item back for a replacement in the case when you buy on-line from a seller who is most likely a great distance from where one lives.But the cost to ship a replacement back to the customer should be paid by the seller.

This is something one should think about when buying one of these tanks.(this applys to most anything,but this is the tank forum.so in this case it pertains to tanks ).It can be bad enough when you buy in your own country with shipping cost and the time involved in the return shipping and then waiting for the replacement.Buy from a foreign country and this can become a real can of worms if it needs to be replaced for one reason or other.
