Repster Shipping Feedback

[Spaniard]

I was thinking along the same lines that shipping probably was going to be ok but where will I be if something bad happens? I may just have to get crackin on getting certified and arrange something else for getting my loaner snake out.

There have been many people that went from good reputation to scammer status and seeing someone's indifference to the BOI makes me hesitant. Not that this is the case with reptster but I'm hoping to see some resolutions in that thread.



Back to the drawing board...

Can you expand on that? Why did they try to deny your package?

EVERYTIME i drop off a package and declare what it is, this happens... the nimrod behind the counter says 'no, we cant do that'. so i have them ask their manager... and their manager says 'as long as they arent "poinsonous"!' haha

fauna is kind ridiculous... go with the moral majority here. there's nothing wrong with reptster.

My first shipment with Reptster there was some kind of error where when I clicked on ship (where you get to the label being printed out) I would continually get an error -- I tried it a couple of times and then just gave up and shipped normally thru Fedex. From what I'd heard online they were working through some glitches at the time so the next day when I tried shipping again it went thru fine but I noticed that each of the attempted shipments from the previous day were in my history and I'd been billed for them. I emailed Reptster and they removed those items within a day and I haven't had any problems since.

As for the fauna thread -- so far it's pretty one sided except for David saying he's been busy and will address it later -- I don't know how much was an overenthusiastic rookie jumping the gun or if he really did back out of a solid agreement - Seems to me that if the money (not even a deposit) was sent then the agreement wasn't solid. But I could be wrong - often am.

There are several reasons why I have chosen now not to utilize Repster. Including this one.

Threads are now showing up on other forums.
Considering that many of the posters in this very thread are members and participants of both sites, that is a ridiculously absurd statement.

Dennis, I think your comments are way off base. I am insulted that you think that just because I am a member of Repster that my comments would be biased or "ridiculously absurb." Having said that, I will defend your right to offer your opinion, I just strongly disagree with it.

You may also want to think about the politics of this business. As many know, starting and maintaining a new website / community is a lot of hard work and many times those with established sites with classifieds that cost big bucks (not like this great site) don't like the little guys horning in on their business. Would they start threads about bad service? Some would. There is also the jealousy factor, since Repster has several big name sponsors (you know, competitors) some others would not go there because of who supports it. Again, what I call industry politics. I would suggest to try Repster yourself and form your own opinion.

I'll get off my soapbox now! I hope everyone has a great week.

I sent an email asking for my account with Reptster to be deleted. I never used them for shipping after seeing that my rates were better. Now seeing that David has proven himself to be a liar and a deadbeat, I want nothing to do with that mess. Get yourself FedEx certified. The process is simple and you will get the same service you get through Reptster. Just because David negotiated a volume discount with FedEx doesn't mean your packages are going to get white glove treatment or that if something happens you will be compensated. As far as I am aware, FedEx doesn't accept claims over loss of life of animals. Repster or not.

Alice, are you saying that Fauna is biased against Reptster? Where is your logic behind that?

Alice, I don't think that's what Dennis meant at all. I believe he was pointing out that Colin was absurd in asserting that the opinions expressed in a single thread on BP.net were any more valid than the opinions expressed on any other site...especially as many of the same members participate in those multiple sites. Colin seemed to have said that because a few BP.net folks spoke favorably of Reptster that that is all that should matter. And I do agree with Dennis...that is absurd.

I also really don't think this case of what has happened at Fauna is anything remotely like "business politics." I don't deny that such practices occur...I've seen it plenty of times. But in this case, I simply don't see it. The facts are laid out quite clearly in the Fauna thread and I won't rehash them here....but one thing stands out unique among all others....there's not a single person that I know of on ANY side of this issue that wanted David to screw this up and fail.

Alicia, Judy is correct. I was addressing the post I quoted above about Fauna. Nothing about being a member on Repster.

Edit: Correction your name. Alice. Not awake yet.

No, I did not say that. What I said was "Would they start threads about bad service? Some would." That doesn't mean all nor did I say that Fauna was biased against Repster.

Thanks for the clarification Dennis.
