Well one was a maraca! Bummer is that the tech says there are no more so they are just going to credit my account for the broken carboy and no need to send it back. An unscrupulous person could claim they were both broken and get a free carboy.

Perhaps next time I will order 3 of I only want one.

It really is "carboy roulette" with Amazon it seems. I ordered 3 last Summer and all of them arrived in perfect shape. YMMV as they say!

So far I've ordered 20 or so of these. All have arrived in perfect shape. The packaging for the first shipment was scant and there were a lot of complaints posted on Amazon. Subsequent shipments have been packed very well.

I was the same way - 1st shipment had a broken one - but no issues since then.

Actually the last few i bought was from Doug - Brew and Wine Supply - just about the same price.

I've been searching/waiting for these to go on sale again. I'm in desperate need of a few due to poor planning on my part.

I went to www.camelcamelcamel.com and made a price alert. I now get emailed when it drops to $30 or below. I also set up an alert for the 5 gallon carboy. Hope this helps.
