After doing a lot of research on the Internet, I decided to buy a Toto toilet. After seeing the prices from plumbing distributors online, I decided to buy our first large household item on Amazon--which had prices which were hundreds of dollars lower. I wanted to get the 1.6 gallon Toto Ultramax, but Amazon said it was not available due to packaging/shipping problems. Amazon did, however, have the 1.28 gallon Toto Ultramax. We are both in our early 60's so we decided to plan for the future and upgraded to the ADA height.
I was a bit concerned about ordering the toilet on Amazon because so many of the reviewers stated that the Ultramax toilets from Amazon initially arrived in a damaged condition. However, because Amazon was no longer shipping one model because of this problem, but was shipping the one I was ordering, I took the leap and ordered from Amazon.
I placed the order on a weekend and the toilet arrived yesterday, about 9 days later and 2 days earlier than originally promised. It was delivered on a tractor-trailer truck. It was packaged in a very heavy card board shipping box, which as strapped with 2 plastic straps to a wood pallet. After convincing the driver that he could in fact back his rig up into our mountain home driveway, the driver cut the plastic staps and unloaded the box on the driveway. There are two flights of stairs up to our cabin, so I insisted on uncrating it in the driveway before I signed for the toilet. If there had been a problem, I wanted him to take it back immediately.
The toilet was in perfect condition. There were no cracks or chips in the toilet. Our plumber came yesterday afternoon and installed the toilet. It looks great in the bathroom and seems to be working fine. I am pleased that I decided to get this toilet from Amazon.
