Bad shipping procedures

[dragonboy4578]

The sellers response just wouldn't cut it for me. I also really find it funny that he is out of town for the next two weeks. It really sounds like a stalling tactic to me. Please keep us updated. I hope that this person will make things right for you, and also learn from these mistakes.

I can understand why you are being calm and not wanting to post on the BOI. Wait till you get your refund, but I would definetly give Paypal a heads up on the situation and that you are waiting for reimbursment. That way if it doesn't come at least they will have record of it and it will be easier for you to get your $$ money from them.

Even if you get your money from this person....please do post up on the BOI. Many of us look at that before ever considering to purchase an animal.

How very sad :/

Not to sound ignorant, although I probably am about to, but what is BOI and fauna?

Yes I've already alerted pp. I think anyone deserves the consideration to atleast have me be thorough about this which thing. But in the end it was his packing that killed this animal and it getting too cold for him. Fauna is another forum and there's a section in it called the Board Of Inquiry. It's a great place to look for shady dealers and bad business. If this doesn't get righted I'll be posting here and there. Id like to know if this was a huge judgement mistake and he just figured it'll be ok or if he cared at all or didn't before letting loose the fury. It's really upsetting how uncaring his response back to me was. But id like to get a bit more info from him.

I do understand about releasing the fury from fauna's BOI. It can get crazy on there. It would be nice if the seller explains his actions, and hopefully it was just a judgment issue. I really hope that he does something to remedy this situation with you.

Fauna is short for faunaclassifieds.com, a place where many people sell animals.
The BOI is the Board of Inquiry on fauna, where you can ask about specific sellers/breeders and get feedback from those who have dealt with that person.

Can we have the name at least? We'll hold off on the pitch forks and give him a chance to make it right... But, it would just be better for us to be aware just so we can protect ourselves and the animals.

It make me wonder if the snake was actually alive when it was packed and had not passed away before it was even shipped! what a scam sell a dead snake and have paypal take the fall... I don't know if it is possiable or what happened, but it kinda makes you wonder...

It is very sad. I feel sorry for the pin.

[Homegrownscales]

Yes this was something I was thinking about as well. What if the snake died prior to shipping and he sent it out anyways. That's really sad one would do that to another. I bought the animal from an ad on kingsnake from a man named Shelby Mershon.

Again I want to just put this out there until I had a few more emails with him on this at least. I'm making no judgements yet on anything. I'm trying to be as respectful to his business as possible. But I do think it's important to let people know what happened. But before I make any judgement calls on his business I'd like to see if he was the one whom really packed him, and other small details like this. He said himself hed received many animals in the mail like this and he felt comfortable shipping him out like that after duplicating what hes seen. I know that that isbt the accepted shipping nor safe shipping practice I also know from what he'd mentioned is he has other animals that went out and I hope it's not like that. But I'll be reserving all formal complaints for after trying to resolve this a little more.
