American Standard 0138.014.020 Mackenzie Recess Soaking Tub

In searching for a 54 inch bathtub I came across this one. I did more research and found I can and did purchase this tub from Ace Hardware's website and it was shipped to my local store for pick up. The price I paid was $109.00 +tax and free shipping. Also there were no disclaimers as this seller has eg: color and product may not be as represented.

I have no problem with the item itself....but I had this tub delivered to my Grandmothers house....and when they got there they told her it couldn't be delivered...INTO HER HOUSE.....She is 80 years old...and lives in a not so great neighborhood as far as stealing goes. They left the tub OUTSIDE IN HER YARD. If I would have known that I had to hire someone to finish the job I thought I had already paid someone else to do, I would not have hired the first person I hired...Buy Plumbing needs to find someone else to ship through, because I will never buy anything else being delivered by R&L Carriers.
