Glass boxes, moved like glass.

Why this category ships badly
Big tanks are Large Package by definition
A 75-gallon tank at 48×18×21 inches is 18,144 cubic inches — past the 17,280 in³ Large Package line before you even wrap it. The surcharge alone can exceed the tank's used price.
Glass and claims don't mix
Carriers broadly exclude or fight coverage on glass — if it arrives cracked, the claim usually dies at 'inherently fragile item'.
Local-pickup-only shrinks your market
So tank sales sit on Marketplace for weeks waiting for the one buyer with a truck within twenty minutes.

What yoomzoom does differently
- Rides flat and padded in one vehicle, handled by one person, no conveyor and no drop between belts.
