    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So let me first start by saying that I have a bit of a bias for rack systems. I love my Animal Plastics rack. It's great quality, easy to follow instructions, and well priced. So as I was planning on getting a new cb70/41qt rack, I contacted AP and asked for the current wait times. 10 weeks. As much as I like AP, I didn't feel like dealing with that long of a wait. So instead, I opted to try out a different rack. I didn't want to spend more than I would have at AP though. That's when I found Boamaster. The turn around time was incredible! I recieved my (3) 41qt rack in only a week and a half. I will say that lack of clear assembly instructions might be a challenge for some, but the rack only fits together one way so its easy to figure out. For the price and the speed, I really can't find any downsides to choosing Boamaster. The only real issue I have is that the heat tape doesn't seem to be cut to quite the right size, but that's nothing a pair of scissors can't fix. I will be likely to purchase another rack from them in the future, especially if they can keep such a quick turn around time.
 
Thats great to hear as just last week I placed an order from Boamaster despite some mixed reviews but now I am very hopefull, I know the price is hard to beat and who reads instructions anyway!
 
Update to my previous reply, received my cage in under 1 week, arrived in perfect condition and assembly was a breeze even without instructions(what are THEY anyway...lol)
So just my 3 cents is that they seem like a decent company with decent product at a decent price, not much more you can ask for nowadays
 
Maybe it was just me I had too wait for over a month for all the racks I've gotten from boamaster. I've spent good money with boamaster and I finally got tired of waiting for my last rack I ordered from after he said he was a week out and a month later I still haven't received my rack. Finally I just has him refund me.
 
From what I have read I do think sometimes he takes on more orders than he can realisticaly handle
And lets face it at his prices he is swamped with orders
Not defending him, can only relate my experience which was all good
 
I asked him before I ordered this last time said he was 1 week out I said great and ordered the rack. Weeks went by and nothing came I finally got tired of waiting and had him refund me. I only needed 1 more 41qt rack too complete my 3rd tower from him. Ohh well I probably will never order from him again. His prices are awesome but his customer service sucks. Other racks may cost a little more but their customer service is awesome and they are honest with you on shipping times.
 
AP is the only other company that really competes with him price wise and they are honest about their ship times, plus great customer service. Typically that time is over 2 months though. So would you rather be told a week and wait a month, or just be told 2-3 months from the start?
 
I know several people who have ordered cserpents and been very pleased. Like I said though, AP is the only one that I found that really competed on a price level for what I wanted, and he had the better turn around time. That's how I based my choice and it worked out for me.
 
Check out dragons 4 u i love there racks and the price is more then fair. As far as boamaster i have had to many issues with wait time and missing parts to buy again. Happy it went well for u tho maybe he has gotten better.
 
I will say that if I already had some spare heat tape, Dragons4you would be the way to go. As it stood though, I paid the same for a rack with heat tape vs one without by going with Boamaster for the model I chose.
 
I like Mark's cages @ boamaster. I enjoyed putting it together and almost anyone with a little know how can. I broke a piece during installation and Mark promptly sent me another one, no charge.
 
I had a bad experience with Mark through a snake and a Cage. He was very receptive, understanding and cooperative over the phone. However, once text's and e-mails kicked in, he forgot who i was and what i had ordered. All was delayed week after week. This process was multiplied time's 4, so i decided to move forward.

I won the dispute via PP, I was reimburse and went with AP......
 
I ordered a cage from Mark. He said he could have it built by the end of the week. Not only did he get that done but he had it at my door by the end of the week! The cage was easy to assemble, there are directions on his website you just have to look around for them. I haven't had a chance to actually use the cage yet but I am curing the silicone now. For price and speed though, no one could touch the deal I got through him.
