[Enclosure Help] Are Madee's Pet Supplies enclosures good?

[BeasKnees]

Hi!

I'm having trouble finding any information on this company.
Apparently they're a canberra pet supplies store who make custom pvc enclosures?

If I'm being honest they seem too good to be true. A pvc enclosure with built in electronics for $300? I don't know.

These exact same enclosures are sold on eBay for a lower price

If this brand isn't good, could anyone suggest any trustworthy manufacturers of pvc enclosures in Australia? Thankyou!

In my experience, with most things, you get what you pay for.

just to express how bad it is... They buy these enclosures in bulk to save thousands on shipping... buy 100 for $5,000 + $1000 shipping... store them in a warehouse and sell them for $30,000.

That's how businesses work but you can get better for $300...

Wouldn't trust PVC either, it's known to warp and bend over time. Go to a kitchen Cabinet maker, show them the pictures of the PVC enclosures.

Herpetology is correct, buy or build your own out of some sort of timber product , it will last way longer than some plastic kr4p. Yes I have seen 1 in real life,it sagged in the middle and couldn't open the doors. I have a couple of 120x60x60 pine enclosures that are 20+ years old and heaps of others ( pine and also melamine)that are over 10YO. No problems whatsoever.
1 advantage of building your own is you end up with something nobody else has and you get the satisfaction of making your own. You don't need to be a great carpenter to build your own, lots of people convert old furniture or TV cabinets into great enclosures
