28G Nano-Cube HQI

I recently ordered this from Drsfoster.... can anyone tell me why they shipped with 3 tracking numbers. Mine came with the free stand so that would be 2 numbers. Ive got one package that weighs 58.8 pounds one that weighs 14 and a third that weighs 52.6 pounds. Has Fedex already broke my aquarium?!?!?
actually im sure its fine but i would like to know why it was done this way...

Tank
Stand
Hood Assembly maybe?

PS Bet Jack could have saved you some $$ there... he beat DFS price by a good amount

Re: 28G Nano-Cube HQI

I asked him for some suggestions but he said shipping would keep the prices up...or that what i gathered. sorry if i miss understood that pm jack. im planning on getting some smaller equip from him...


i thought the setup came in one big box... maybe they seperated the tank like you said.

i figured 2 packages. tank and stand

Re: 28G Nano-Cube HQI

Yeah I will say DFS has some GREAT shipping prices.. .it's per $$$ instead of weight... they must have calculated a way to make that work in their favor. I guess more people spend $$$ on lighter things there fore making the heavier things "appear" less expensive. That would make Me appear down right CHEAP
