Ok, Ive looked into this a bit and I can tell that we have some sort of problem. On my computer it will not show your review, but on Aarons computer no more than 10 feet from me, your review (judging from the info on your post) is the first one! On my computer when I click to go to the next page of reviews it sends me to our home page. I have forwarded this info to our Webmaster and hopefully we will have it straightened out soon. In the time being you may want to try looking at the review with a different computer, your review may just show up.
In regards to the reviews on our site, they are maintained by an outside company and reviewed by them before being posted to our site. They make sure that they are relevant to the product, not vulgar etc. Reviews that are negative but otherwise on topic and for the product that they are posted under are not deleted. A quick look around led me to this product, judging by those reviews we know what camera not to buy! Personally I would say that letting people see the negative reviews of our other customers really saves us a lot of trouble because down the road we do not have to deal with the problems a bad product can cause.
I can vouch for the computer glitch re. reviews. At one point you couldn't get to the second page of reviews. I've had reviews lost the same way - but, funny thing, they were very positive reviews because I loved the product. Didn't keep the review from being "lost in space". I've posted some very negative reviews and they didn't get lost.

to PETER C it would have still needed a reinspection thats what they told me when it is shipped you are suposed to have it looked at because if the plug falls out and stuff gets in the tank or if it got damage while being shipped, there are other reviews of people talking about them haing to pay about 20.00 bucks as well when they went to get their tanks filled. That sticker would be cool but anybody can put that on it what would the scuba shop say. but if it works, if i buy my next tank online i will do that instead. I do see what you are saying becuasee it is new and any dummy can look the tank over to see if there is crap in it Thay souldnt charge for that when it takes 2 seconds to look at it.
Standard procedure. Any tank that has had the valve removed OR which has no pressure in it (even if the valve was never removed - could have taken on water) WILL require an inspection. I agree that this is bogus on a brand new tank (or on my pony which I have to transport open by plane). Nevertheless, it is standard across the US (don't know about elsewhere). There is one dealer (with good prices) that will ship inspected and with 400psi in the tank.
As far as buying the VIS sticker - some shops will not fill unless the sticker has the inspecting shops name & address (and sometimes inspector number) printed as part of the sticker. That said, I've never had the sticker challenged in the Caribbean.
Also, how did this thread from 2008 get resurected? I just realized how old it is.
