My first thought would be that a health issue might have him unable to respond. Whatever is going on, I hope he is or will be okay and I hope he can get back to any wondering customers as soon as he can. Until then, waiting and reversing the transactions are the only real options I see on the table for customers receiving nothing since the interruption in communications began.

There was no communication before I selected my purchase. I went to the website and read all of the glowing testimonials and read everything there was to read about the company that I could find at that point. To be honest, nothing like this has ever happened to me with ordering a reptile or amphibian from an on-line company so I had no reason to think there would be a problem that couldn't be solved with communication between the company and myself. I am being completely ignored by this seller.
Yes they advertise Thursday ship, arrive Friday. That's why I took the day off from work on Friday. Bottom line: There is no excuse for someone to pay for a purchase and then hear absolutely nothing from the company you have just paid, especially from a person that is supposed to be a very reputable reptile breeder/businessman. |

At this point, we really don't know what is going on, and for all we know he is in the hospital in a coma. Might be best to not jump to any conclusions quite yet. But I would certainly consider holding off on any further orders till questions are answered about what is going on. IMHO, of course. |
I agree, Rich. Jim has a good history and produces quality chams, even if he is gruff, rough and outspoken.
Barbara, you ordered a cham and expected delivery with NO communication or conformation from the seller? I have purchased from Jim and have never been disappointed, but like ANY online purchase, whether a living creature or a toaster oven, I wait until I have confirmation of a sale and prospective delivery date. I don't take a day off work until I get that conformation, nor do I expect a delivery on the day I want until I get that confirmation. Jim has always confirmed the sale and delivery and provided tracking numbers. His packing and shipping of an animal is impeccable. I agree with Rich and others who have posted. There may well be other factors, such as his health, or his family's health involved. This is so not typically Jim. I hope all who have made purchases will be compensated if you do not receive your chams, but give it time and don't freak. Not yet. |
bcr229 No. There was no communication prior.
nstd Yes. There is definitely Thursday ship for Friday morning delivery. I made sure I looked at their shipping schedule. I took Friday off from work so I would be home all day. If it was a problem, I would expect the company to email me and let me know. |
Not exactly sure what's going on here. What's has been your way of communication with him. This doesn't sound like something Jim would do at all. Hopefully everything is ok with him. I'll call him right now and ask him to to post.
Hope your ok Jim. Calling now. |

This seems pretty far out of character for ChamCo. At this point, I'm assuming that something pretty serious must have happened for him to just drop everything and leave customers hanging. |
I placed an order with The Chameleon Company on 2/14/16. I sent an email to Jim on the same day, and he never responded. On 3/5/16, I sent a message to The Chameleon Company's Facebook page and he did not respond to that either.

I have been told by many people that this company is good and jim is honest i agree that something vary serious must have happened and whatever the reason i hope he is ok and wish someone that knew him personally could go check on him at his home just to make sure he is not dead i hope not but no one has had ontact in over 1month from what i have seen i know the last contact i had was on feb 4th
