    Technically, you supplied a few grams of basic raw material. You did nothing concerning fabrication.

    Yes, they have people there that will help. Just make sure you lay it in the bed back side down. When you get home, take the tailgate off and put a pair of 2x4s, or 2x6s on the bumper down to the ground like a ramp, and slide it down and when you get to the bottom, stand it up on a furniture dolly, pus it into the garage. Or if the wheels don't come installed, install the wheels while it's still in the bed, and then you can save yourself the dolly money. :thumbsup:

    Loaded it with a forklift, no drama there. Will go back tomorrow for the upper half.

    So were the drawers full the first two times you moved it, or were they empty or taken out completely? :boink:

    Drawers filled each and every time! First time I was very limited in space. I was moving cross country pulling a 5x8 trailer. Coming back I had a u-haul, but packed solo. I pushed the full box up the ramp and into the truck alone. Unloaded it by myself on the other end into storage after being awake for 48+ hours. Almost tipped it over that time.

    This event was something I had done plenty of times. Had to get it over that hump. Put the floor jack underneath to get one end over. I can't remember why, but I left it like that to walk around. That was when it started to go. Probably my biggest screw up was not locking the drawers shut.

    Ya live, ya learn.

    Ever since he found out he was going to be a father the transformation has been simply amazing.


    So much has happened in the past 3.5 years. :fistbump:

    Sad panda, the two front corners are tweaked. I’m going to go back and either get a partial refund or a new unit.

    At least they’re close, only 10 min away. Not a big deal to run back tomorrow and get it sorted.

    Get a new one. You don't want that garbage. A tool box will last a lifetime. You don't to keep seeing that shit. Top box won't sit right either.

    If they give me $200 refund (or a free upper unit) then I will be happy. New it’s $500 so if I can get it for half off because of a couple dented corners, I’ll survive. It won’t be hard to bend them back up. The shadow is deceiving and makes it look worse than it is.

    Good morning Randall. Good morning Lair Dwellers!
    :pumpkin: Trick or Treat :pumpkin:

    Ouch. I went back and looked at the other picture of it in the bed. You can tell that corner was crushed, then straightened out. In case you need that as evidence. :thumbsup:

    No drama at all swapping it out. I did get red because they didn’t have more green ones. Not a big deal, I’m not very picky.
