Amusingly, they wrote me an anonymous email, with this:
Four things to note:Dear sir/madam
Your research should include the following:
EZPoolLinerDirect.com has operated for years;
Their reputation is extremely high;
The quality of products is very high;
Perhaps you should phone them;
Maybe you could contact the subscribers to your "website" to see what they think;
Esther Williams IS a hard to find bead type - you probably didn't know that
You required a post in order to "register" - what are your suggestions for a first post?
Perhaps a first post slam is a little quick off the mark
Thanks and regards,
Sales@EZPoolLinerDirect.com

2. Mr. Anonymous is cheesed off about getting banned when they broke the absolute 'no sales' rule everyone is warned about. They think I should apply some sort of 'fairness' rule to them, but that they are exempt from the rules that govern their opportunity to participate here.
3. Mr. Anonymous writes,Yep. That's true. About FOUR years! That makes them, well, a business toddler, still in diapers. Here's their anonymous domain record:EZPoolLinerDirect.com has operated for years;
Note the 18Mar09 domain creation date . . . and the fact that they are trying to hide who they are. Yep. Upstanding business citizens, they are.Registered through: GoDaddy.com, LLC (http://www.godaddy.com)

4. Mr. Anonymous writes,But, so far as I can tell, they have NO reputation whatsoever. Here's a Google search link for the company name:Their reputation is extremely high;
"EZ Pool Liner Direct"
and one for the domain name
"ezpoollinerdirect.com"
If you check those links, you'll see Google has never heard of the company, only the website. And, if you check the second link, you'll see that virtually the only people who've heard of the website are various OTHER websites that report on domain names and Internet traffic.
Typical pool industry sales hacks, in my opinion. But, if you feel comfortable ordering a liner that costs $100's or $1,000's from an anonymous website with no address, no local phone, and no names . . . but a nice website . . . be my guest!
But, they do have a nice website, with some nice information. I'll have to ask Waste to check and see if it's accurate.
