It looks dead in the pictures!
Sean was pretty upset because his partner Kevin spent a considerable amount of money, and obviously had big plans for this Hytec, Parahet...
I must have missed the "Black Mail" email... Was Sean asking for a better Hytec, ParaHet and $10,000.00 for sending him a dead snake?
I think we all agree that evidence shows the Hytec, ParaHet was DOA... Regardless if the snake could maybe made it OK... The facts are that the snake was shipped with wrong shipping classification, delaying delivery... The fact that two heat packs were used when they were not needed... And, the fact is that the Hytec, ParaHet arrived dead...
If you have the money, you should refund the money...
If you have another male Hytec, ParaHet, that is of acceptable quality to Kevin... Send it to him properly shipped, and properly packed...
If you do not have a Male Hytec, ParaHet, that is of acceptable quality to Kevin... Send a more valuable animal that is acceptable to Kevin... Send it to him properly shipped, and properly packed...
The option to keep/steal Kevin's money, will comeback to bite you in the 
Just the idea of keeping/stealing Kevin's money could seriously affect your positive rating... Right now, It does not make you look all that good.
I hope you can resolve this in a civilized manner... Good luck to you all! |
Why on earth would you expect anyone to take you seriously given your history here? And how cute that you're sticking up for Sean... birds of a feather, I guess.
Yes, Kevin is OWED a refund (which is a different matter entirely from whether or not he DESERVES it), but trying to excuse the actions of Sean as just the ramblings of someone who's "pissed" or otherwise trying to provoke action is also inexcusable. I don't get to go on a shoplifting spree or fire a gun in the air in a residential neighborhood just because I'm "pissed", while we're excusing relatively minor crimes in the name of blowing off steam... sheesh.
And Robert Potts, if you continue to keep the man's money, there are now TWO dishonest parties in this situation. Be a man. Your continued insistence that is "possible the snake arrived alive" sounds like the desperate ramblings of a guy who knows he owes someone money that he's already spent. You shipping that snake wrong, and you outlined for us all very clearly exactly how and when you did it. There's no way the packaging for that snake would be considered "safe" or "appropriate" for the temps in EITHER location. You do NOT have the high ground here, and in fact, become a criminal yourself for keeping ill-gotten funds for delivery of an unsatisfactory product. You are NOT on higher ground by simply having "delivered a product", despite what the lady from MO is harping on.
Although, Mr. Potts, I do think you're fully justified in pressing charges on this Sean character should you feel compelled... extortion in the thousands of dollars rises to felony levels very quickly. You can have your day in court with him, and with my blessing. But you owe a refund in this case, and I think you know it. If you decide NOT to refund the money, then I recommend doing your best to avoid any mention of this situation reaching the inside of a courtroom, as the presiding DA might just as soon decide to recommend charges against you for fraudulent gain.
