Life's not fair, and now my ball suffers for it.
*sigh*
When I got my young ball a few months ago, the tank I was provided with as a starter tank was fine. But as time went on, I developed doubts... it's not particularly warm despite careful monitoring, and I'm constantly fighting to get the humidity up for him/her. So I decided to buy a better one, to avoid potential problems, and discomfort for the snake.
So I saved up my pennies, did my research, and found an absolute perfect one for a young ball, highly recommended, nicely designed, and reasonably priced (Not too cheap, not too expensive)
So I went ahead and ordered it, and this is where things start to suck. I buy from the internet a LOT... I use paypal, a LOT... and I always check my address, but I suppose I got complacent... and the one time I don't check, paypal has for no reason, and with no permission of mine... selected an old address. Of course, the person I ordered it from dutifully dispatched it, promptly and politely. It was only two days later when I had to use paypal for something unrelated that I realised the address was wrong. So I check... and indeed... my lovely vivarium has gone to the wrong place. The people there, in full knowledge that they cannot hand it over to the rightful recipient, have signed for and accepted it.
If they had done what any honest human being would, and told the company that I no longer lived there, and they could not contact me, it would have been fine, it would have sat in the warehouse until I claimed it, as it should have done... but now, because they signed, nobody will help me. The old landlady is ignoring me, paypal refuse to accept that it was their fault because I should have checked (Which I should have done, I just don't EXPECT that kind of foolishness from Paypal), and the delivery company refuse to respond to me over the weekend. So, whilst thieves posses my lovely vivarium, and my lovely little ball sulks in his old one... I have to wait for everyone else to sort themselves out.
All I wanted was a decent tank for my snake. Clearly that was too much to ask.
I know you guys don't want to know about this, and I'm sorry, but I really needed to rant that out somewhere, and it has helped.
