It is a crap shoot. I've ordered many things without incident, but when there is a discrepancy, you're on your own.
Joe sells a dipping tank. I thought: I can go down to Lowes and buy the parts for about ten bucks. Joe's tank is about triple that, but hey... it's ready to go and it'll save some time and aggravation. I'd rather be making sawdust. What I received was a piece of pvc tube and a couple of flanges. Still had to go down to Lowes and buy the glue & primer & assemble it. Lesson learned. No time or money saved. Joe adds a little chrome to his harley. I add a few miles to mine.
