I thought about that, but I actually am having them shipped to my work. I would have them held but I am a dog groomer/manager so I'll be at work from 7am - 5 or 6pm depending on how my dogs are tomorrow. I'm bringing all the equipment I need to set them up right away (tubs, UTH w/ thermo) and am putting them in a quiet area so they won't be uncomfortable while I work. Updates will definitely be coming as soon as I get off tomorrow along with the video I'll be making of me opening the package, good or (knock on wood) bad.
Re: What would you do in my situation?
If those animals arrive safely, I would do some serious QT. Anyone who handles that transaction the way he did probably doesn't have great husbandry practices. The way he shipped I don't think he has the animals best interest at heart.
That video of you opening the box is a great idea, btw.
Re: What would you do in my situation?
Looking forward to updates. Hope it turns out in your favor.

Ok after reading this I gotta say this kid is a D-bag! I Know its not cheap to overnight but there are lives at stake! :mad: Trades are a risky buisness but not everyones a bad apple.No matter how this turns out keep your head up and learn from you mistakes.
Re: What would you do in my situation?
Well, the package got here this morning. I'm having trouble uploading the video to youtube, but here's the jist of it. Package arrives, I take it in back, open it, see a nice white styrofoam lining and a lid with a hole punched in it. I open the lid and..... AIR. That's it, just air and some dust. I took the styrofoam out to see if maybe they got under it but, no, there was nothing whatsoever in the package. I'm so sick and numb right now I don't know what to do. I'll post the video if I can get it to go up on youtube.

What? Did he think you wouldn't notice an empty box?

Sorry you got scammed. Truthfully, I would be more sick if there was an animal in there. Hopefully you can find this scammer and get money or snakes out of them. So sorry. :mad:
Re: What would you do in my situation?
Wow, I'm sorry this happened to you.
Re: What would you do in my situation?
I'm really sorry that you got scammed so badly. If it were me I would start a new thread on the BOI calling this person out for what they truly are. Since it was a trade you can't recover money, but you can try to make others aware so that he can't continue to scam. You have a good amount of info, and it's probably his real name as he has a Myspace and such under that name.
Re: What would you do in my situation?
OH NO!! What a punk, I hope you will be able to make his life as miserable as you possible can. I know your options are limited but I hope you make him pay!!! :rage:
