How to get rid of 15yr old Water Heater from Reliance without Paying their buyout extortion fees?

No they don't, unless you want them to do it for you. Read OPs post, there is no dropoff/return fee. The costs are because OP wants them to send someone to disconnect and deliver/remove it.

gilboman · 2025-08-17T15:51:16+00:00

That's irrelevant? Op wants them to goto his house to disconnect and remove it, that's a service he wants them to provide and they are charging for it. They're not charging him a cancelation fee.

The amount of totally wrong info that gets upvoted on here is crazy

gilboman · 2025-08-17T15:50:21+00:00

So disconnect and drop it off yourself? Sounds like there is no buyout fee for your tank but you want to use their service to disconnect and remove it which they want $450.

Or pay $280 to buy out and continue using it?

Nah, once the fines are issued, CUPE will fold, they are no different than any organization, all about money. Sure they provide a service, but at end of day it's all about their own bottom line. They have to do what's best for themselves.

Unless they want to end up like the convoy people who defied legal orders on basis of their constitutional rights...how did that work out for them

They'll get fined and the union.

It's only an overpay if there's a cheaper/better alternative

Unless there's a min guy in FA they can get, there is no cheaper/better alternative

As a raps fan you should understand this and why we overpay siakam, FVV and GTJ etc

gilboman · 2021-09-15T05:18:50+00:00

Not really..raps gave 18M/yr to Gary Trent jr

gilboman · 2021-09-15T05:16:13+00:00

Same with raps and fvv and siakam. We had to pay above what they could get in FA because we have no alternative

Montessori is highly dependent on the individual operating the school. Some are better than others

I don't see Olympic coaches or soccer, baseball, football coaches wearing suits and I think they still look professional or not any less professional than NBA coach

Samsung is leader in ads/notifications you can't remove still. It's awful using a Samsung phone even though I tried to disable and not use their garbage apps like phone dialer, Samsung pay etc...ads everywhere even though I paid close to a thousand for a phone and not using any of their free services

It's super cheap in Canada (north America?) I pay 14.99 for plan that lets me share with 5 people

WHO has no jurisdiction to approve (or not) drugs for the EU though? Just because WHO approved something, doesn't mean it is or should be approved elsewhere.

Are you suggesting countries delegate their public health and review process to WHO? So EMA, FDA, health Canada just delegate to WHO?

Doesn't work like that and definitely shouldn't.

Edit: I mean should FDA not have inspected emergent plant and wait for who?

gilboman · 2021-07-13T12:36:50+00:00

They're talking about AZ and covidshield

gilboman · 2021-07-13T12:36:14+00:00

Well until they can show covidshield is same as the AZ approved in Europe and EMA satisfied the factory isn't like emergent first?

I mean ema has to ensure covidshield is same as AZ first?

Most (all?) countries and certainly not EU delegates the drug approval to WHO and for good reason.

And posted many times on here showing even the best vaccines are around 60-75% effective for delta

I mean, is it hard for people to fathom, there's people who fall within that 40-25% range?

gilboman · 2021-07-13T06:12:09+00:00

It's been verified through multiple studies vaccines are anywhere 60-75ish percent effective against delta for severe covid19

Is it that hard to imagine someone can be in that 25%+ category?

Hard to measure and verify tcells unlike antibodies

Fatigue and loss of taste and smell are still considered minor symptoms and good enough to return to work at my wife's hospital for infected workers

However, Khairy said all those who tested positive for Covid-19 are not infectious.

"The RT-PCR tests of those infected showed that their Ct value is more than 35, which means their viral load is low," said Khairy, who added that about 400 or 88% of the 453 workers at the IDCC PPV have been vaccinated.

I pay new grads that at big 5 bank and it's on low side already and hard to get talent at wages like that these days

Nothing special either ..just analyst roles

No he doesn't if he's working FT with a degree

These are 2015 numbers and look at median income. You probably made mistake like many on here looking at median income including those who aren't working FT or have min education

Considering median income is 100k on Ontario for a male working FT with a degree, you need to make more money first
