Okay,
I have a pair of snakes that were paid for on the 29th of Feb. The seller has decent rep on the BOI and has maintained contact. However the past three weeks they were suppose to have been shipped and various reasons came up as to why not.
The first week was missed do to him (and I quote)"spaced that I was suppose to ship this week", though I can't place 100% of the blame on him since I didn't email to check up as I was preoccupied with Ryan and the pre deployment crap. I said not a problem, we'll ship next week. And thus it was planned.
Tuesday we talked about shipping on Wednesday and it was all good. I was suppose to have a tracking number Wed night. Well, instead of a tracking number I got an email stating "hey I just checked and they ate two days ago,probably not fully digested yet, do you still want me to ship?". This kinda miffed me. We'd JUST talked about shipping them that week so why the heck would you feed them on Monday? I emailed as much and also made it clear I really wanted them the following week. I was told that yes, I would get my animals.
I contacted him Saturday with my schedule for the week and was informed he couldn't ship Monday or Tuesday since his son was in town. I REALLY prefer to get my animals early in the week but I figured I was going to be thrilled just to get them. So I said fine. I open at work Wednesday and Thursday and could recieve them there or I had Friday off and could get them then. So, Monday and Tuesday nothing. Nothing yesterday and then today I get an email saying "It's getting down to barely 40 tonight so I'm holding off all shipments til next week. Just wanted to let you know."
Now maybe I'm being paranoid but it so seems like he's stalling. And I'm not liking it at all. I'm relatively patient. I am. But this person has been paid in full for nearly a month and I've just got excuses. Not even good excuses IMO. Am I being unreasonable?
