I ordered this for a friend, I did not realize that it would be delivered empty! Is this normal? Do they have to get it filled themselves?

They're not going to ship this unit pressurized. 2.5G of water at 100ish PSI is dangerous if it becomes punctured or develops a leak in transit. Fill it to the bottom of the provided fill tube and take a bicycle pump or air compressor with a schrader adaptor (standard for car/low end bicycle tires) and pump it up. Takes less than 5 min and it's completely rechargeable from the kitchen sink with a regular bike pump. Best $100ish you can spend for a house extinguisher.

Yes, it's normally shipped empty and the consumer is responsible for filling it with water.

They packed it great, and mine came intact. I think it is just a matter of the delivery person's carefulness.

It comes empty. I recommend buying lighter fluid and spare flints with the lighter, it will make maintenance very easy in the future

No, mine did not. There may be funnels at their website but I didn't care because I've got my own funnel for filling them.

nope. based on my experience and other reviews they are probably running out of items and just send whatever they find. People receive half of items or two of the same. don't buy it.

Yes the item comes empty as the description states. Shipping an item with flammable liquid and a means to ignite that liquid is prohibited by most shippers for obvious reasons. There are instructions included with the item on how to fill it.

They're delivered empty. Full they weigh something like 300#, so it's a good thing. I get mine filled locally at a large hardware store, but there are a few gas stations and lots of U-haul locations will fill 100# cylinders. One thing to bear in mind is that most places will only fill if you can transport the tank in an upright position, strapped in the bed of a full size pickup, for example. My local hardware store charges a bit more than U-haul, but they don't take issue with me leaving with in on it's side in the bed of my Tacoma, which has a cap and is obviously too low to load upright.

You are correct that pop up is misleading consumers. I wrote a review that said I didn't get any in my order. Can't remember if I was required to return the dispenser, but I do remember my second box didn't have them either. Then I ordered the one with the idiot tabs, a larger unit, and was very disappointed again that this was empty too. It was a gift for my 10 year old grandson so I had to order the refills asap. Get your act together Post-it Pop-up!!!!

I believe shipping rules require that it be shipped empty. Plan to fill it on receipt.

It depends on who delivers it. The guy that delivered ours helped me get it inside our apartment.

It comes filled. If you get those that are refilled they cost about 32.00 and just return them to the store you got it at or actually any store that sells the refills. You know you do not have to wait until it is empty to get another one. I have 3 stashed in a cabinet and just drop them off when empty and get another full one.

No they just left it by my door. I actually thought I had ordered the wrong thing when it came because it was in a very narrow long box. I ordered two(in 2 separate orders) and both came late and 1 was lost and was reordered;) but they are awesome! Just roll it out and it grows big and puffy! Hope this helps!!

It arrives empty and you buy the lighter fluid. It may be against postal codes to ship due to possible leakage and being flammable.

maybe when they packed it, they forgot to include the pump. When I order mine, it came with the pump. Hope this helps...

You have to state that when you fill the tank. The tank is delivered empty when you buy it.

I ordered mine thru here. They arrived quickly and it was pretty easy to fill. Having a second person is helpful to avoid spilling much.
