They closed without delivering a dry suit that I ordered in January 2008, leaving me with credit card charges that I'm trying to get cleared. Before placing my order, I read everything I could find about divetank on scubaboard and got the general impression that they were a reputable company, though maybe a little slow. I talked with Richard (the owner) and placed an order for a 2007 Bare Trilam HD Tech suit that was on closeout. Once they charged my card, I assumed that it had been shipped. But after several weeks, I received nothing. I contacted Richard and was told that Bare had some back order issues. OK, no problem. Two more weeks go by... nothing. I contacted Richard again and was told that divetank was moving its store and that Bare was holding orders until the move was completed. (The red flags are flying by now!) Well, after over two months of getting the run around, Richard finally tells me that the order will be drop shipped from Bare. I contacted Bare and was told that the order was completed but was waiting shipping instructions from divetank. I tried to contact divetank again but got an email from Larry at ScubaToys stating that divetank is out of business and that Richard is now over seas! I contacted Bare again to see if Richard had ever sent payment and shipping instructions to them. Nope!!I was wondering with the stories of "I can't get my credit card refund from Dive Tank" if they closed and left any charges to anyone that never got settled.
I guess the great deal wasn't so great after all!
