Paul Edwards Reptiles - Experience

[littleindiangirl]

Huh, is it common for breeders to not give tracking numbers? Or give an approx. time of arrival?
I must just have been lucky so far for dealing with breeders that always give tracking numbers even before they ship and are in contact the entire trip of the animal. From when they drop it off to when the animal arrives at my door step at or before 10 am.

Given I was in the situation, I would not tolerate any mistakes after waiting almost a month to ship. But again, I got an itchy trigger finger.

Hope things get worked out soon Melissa.

I would like to see what he suggests we do lord jackal. I could toss out suggestions all day and if he doesn't agree it won't be going anywhere.

What would fry me if I'd received that email - is that he isn't even paying attention to the fact that you were looking for a pastel with a certain look - he's not paying attention to his customer - and he seems to be pushing you to accept the one he sent because he thinks it looks nicer (or at least that is what he wants you to believe so he doesn't have to deal with you again).


If you aren't happy with it insist he take it back at his expense. If you are willing to accept it - then make him give you an acceptable discount. Perhaps tell him you'll have to add special lighting to her tub to make her look like the one you wanted


Oh and find out how the other one died - that would be a concern to me - especially if they were from the same clutch and housed near each other.

Just my two cents.

Luck has nothing to do with it any breeder that takes their business seriously would be falling all over them selves seeing that they had every thing in order prior to shipping.

That breeder should have drove home from FedEx(or where ever) fired up the computer and shot that info the second they got the chance.

Or to forget to ship an animal..I mean really would he be so forgetful if you had yet to pay him.

I understand mistakes and I understand wanting to be careful. But those mistakes scream I don't take you seriously as a customer.

I agree with Tosha here.My mouth dropped when he stated that one died and it could have been yours .If i had one die all of a sudden for no reason to be known NO snakes in that rack would be going anywhere until i found out why.This deal makes me wonder how its going to end

Don't even need to do that. Add the customers email to the ship notice when you prepare the airbill and Fed Ex will automatically send the tracking number and a link to their site to the customer for you.

See so many different opportunities to do it right.

Yeah, it was late last night and it completely flew by me. This morning when I checked at 11 I still hadn't recieved an email from him so sent him another asking about the death.

You know I didn't even think about the other snake dying...that should be a concern. Where is this guy's facility located?
