I bought a Hermann Tortoise from Glades Herp Farm Inc on Tuesday 9/27/11. I made a payment through paypal and sent them an email right away to coordinate the shipping on Wednesday for Thursday’s delivery and asked them if they are able to send me a healthy, good looking tortoise. Robroy sent me an email that we’re good to go. They will ship it out on Wednesday night.
I emailed and called Robroy for the fed ex tracking #, but no response. I emailed a total of 3 emails asking for the tracking #, and finally he responded on Thursday. He said that he is traveling, so he’ll let his staff know to contact me. I have not heard from them so I called their office again. They finally picked up and told me they did not have my order shipped.
I decided I should just ask for a refund since their customer service was terrible. The guy I spoke to said he’ll make it work for me. He’ll pick out a healthy tortoise and also send me pictures of the animal I’ll be receiving. I agreed and said yes. So I told him please ship it Thursday for Friday’s delivery.
On Thursday, I sent emails requesting for the tracking # but no response again. I emailed them for the 3rd time and finally received an email with the tracking # on Friday morning.
I received the package at 10:10am and opened it right away. When I took the tortoise out, his right eye is infected. His right eye was swollen. I contacted Robroy and his team regarding this issue. I did not receive any response, nor phone calls from them. I sent a total of 4 emails and made several calls to their office. I don’t know what to do now. I would like them to either exchange the tortoise, or issue me a refund. Can I please get some suggestions?
Thanks!
