Vertical storage container

I’m wanting to build a mixing station for my water changes and was wondering where people find these online with free shipping. I see everyone said they didn’t pay for shipping the the freight charge twice as much as the tank.

You are correct... These just arrived— only $167 each— but add the shipping and it was closer to $650 total. But I wanted what I wanted (not just the limited choices at a Tractor Supply, etc.), so I bit the bullet. People pay way more for lighting, and even pumps when you think about it…

I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but do you have a tractor supply co or a farm and fleet or similar store within driving distance? They all carry these norwesco storage tanks. Easiest way to get them I think.

A few of the sites offer a way to find out what tanks are available close to you, this is the only free shipping I know of. Lol. I paid for freight shipping on the two I got.

I will post this more properly when finished, but I stumbled upon a workbench that fits perfectly over these... I am making an “L” shape mixing station in the corner of the room.

I've been going through the same searches and issues paying more to the shipper than the manufacture. I saw these on Amazon with free shipping. Wonder if anyone has experience or thoughts. They could be stacked like the guy above. They also have larger sizes with free shipping.
