Hey,

I was thinking the same but I am assuming they where proven breeders.

Bill

oh good point, i hadn't thought of that, thanks! still seems a little fishy though...i certainly hope they turn up okay!

i got them off kingsnake forum from dan foley. they are so expensive because they are adults. i would have thought it was a scam if i didn't see any trancking info but it starts out received at the postoffice in the same city i addressed the MO. at 11 something yesterday, then the next scan says processed in sorting facility in another location in vt then says "package has left the facility" and that's it. but when i've talked to all the ppl at usps the shipping address is to my house. so he shipped me something guaranteed to be here by noon. and trust me i realize this is a LOT of money i've realized it allllllll day long and now even have a splitting headache. Guarantee or not imo is all void when he change the agreement and shipped usps making me commit a felony.

Again,

I don't want to seem like this is an OK situation. This breeder basically sent cash to this individual and he just totally messed up. Please keep us informed. It is never about money with me and snakes. It always about the snakes. I hate to mention that USPS is basically useless on the weekends, well again when I think about they are just useless. The government needs to sell it off and keep working on health care....

Bill

jess your dead on w/ that one. everybody's QUICK to say it's not there or no it left but nobody can say where it is, and all act like i'mbeing impatient by calling. and yes i am worried about the wellbeing of my new pets very very very much but wow that's still a lot of money hard to just forget it completely. i just hope i can post up here tom pics of some nice beautiful live additions.

I hope that your snakes get to you alive and well. I would deffently keep them QT and a littler warmer to makes sure no RI develope. I would also be filing a complaint about being shipped next day and then not delivered until X days later and that the reptiles health was put at risk, to both the seller and TO the shipper once ( if ) you get them alive, if dead I be calling both and filing some sort of claim and demanding your fund back from the breeder due to his screw up.

As posted before I post this on fauna's site in the BOI forum and see if this guy done so before, and it then possible contacting kingsnake with the info and links as this does sound like a possible breach of their rules ( not got an account so not sure)..

I also think it shoul alway s be about the snakes over money.

Hey,

I did want to mention that it appears Dan is a good guy. He just made a big mistake and there is no way he is not going to fully take care of you. You did nothing wrong and I can't believe Dan will not rectify this situation fully.

Regards and Good Luck,
Bill

Could the OP make a claim against USPS if they clearly state that snakes are unmailable materials?

oh i know, tha'ts why i didn't even want to say his name but seems everybody is asking and i didn''t want ppl to not answer my question of will they be ok because i woulndt answer there question. he was as frantic as i was and has been callin ppl all day too tryin to find the pair. (i know because some off the ppl i called allready knew everything and were quite rude sayying i allready told u it's not here and u need to call such and such. They just disapeared. And again iim worried about the wellbeing of my snakes.i've wanted a bumblebee sooooo bad and my dad just died a couple of months ago and i have a little money left after the funeral and such and was just like the hell w/ it i'm splurging and buying a bumblebee and wow

Did he ship it express mail at least or just regular mail? Express will have more tracking info and start with an E instead of just a number like delivery conformation. I would call your post office and see if they will hold it for pickup unless you get your mail really early. Find out what time it will get there and they might be able to give you more tracking info as well. They aren't going to confiscate it or anything, but may investigate the shipper as snakes are not mailable. Also no guarentee on live stuff so even if they arrive late or dead you get no refund on shipping costs on express. Hopefully they make it ok.
