    Re: What would you do in my situation?

    Hmmmm, he WAS going to ship them on his break, which does imply that they were already packed, though it does not assure that this is so.

    NOW he's going to pack them and ship in the morning, yet he was there to receive yours today but, he was at work and couldn't leave??

    You need a tracking number and weight on the box tomorrow morning and even then there is no guarantee your snake will be in the box.

    Take pictures before and during the opening of the box, if you get one.

    What's the guys name? I want to know who to watch out for.
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

    So he's going to run down to the Post Office to ship via USPS? Well seeing as the animals you sent him were already put up for sale he seems to have more free time on his hands than he is letting on.

    "As soon as I get up tomorrow I will pack them up and run down to the post office and get them sent out. Then as soon as im down ill get you the tracking number."
    I dont think the post office accepts retile shippments.
    I also agree with Wes's thread,seems like alot of excuses. This dude seems really shadey. I do hope everything works out. I've been burnt twice and its not a great feeling.

    Re: What would you do in my situation?

    From reading the BOI thread, he sounds like a big number 2.

    If the one poster was correct that he is very young, possibly under 18 years of age, he should have parents that can be contacted.

    Again, sorry this is going on. Please keep this thread updated, but starting posting everything you know about this guy on the BOI. Age, location, number, emails... you get my drift.

    I hate scammers, and I do hope this was a misunderstanding, but yea... Also if things don't clear up by tonight, wouldn't be a bad idea to get in touch with his local police department. Just a thought.

    If someone gives me their phone number but tells me I can't call until they "put minutes on it", they are someone I won't deal with.

    Re: What would you do in my situation?

    Any news? Did this guy ship them out today? I'm so sorry you have to deal with someone like this. Hope everything turns out well and hopefully he's just a slacker and not a scammer. BTW where is he located, cause I know "a guy" ...

    And after all, putting something on Craigslist IS the definition of scammer....
