Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

This shouldn't be a win fall for the OP. Mistakes happen and she was out to get the company. Ben offer above and beyond any other company would do. Op needs a reality check .. full refund and keep the money? If she was so uncomfortable about the situation and the snake then send it back and have a refund.. but please pay with your dam shipping like 99% companies do. Let's get real.

Didn't want to deal with it anymore, but felt compelled to post here.
Sounds like you wanted to deal with it after all.

The only person who is above Ben Siegel is the all mighty. At least in Ben Siegel's mind that is true. Buying from ben 3 times with the third time being the last I can tell you this is true. His store overcharged me. I am sure it was an accident. However when it was brought to Ben's attention he would not admit fault at all. It was a black and white issue.There was no debate however He condescended me, talked down to me, and made me feel some how it was my fault. I only wanted the problem corrected which after being talked to like I was never approached the subject again with Ben. It just wasnt worth the few dollars I was overcharged. I can tell you Ben in My Honest opinion and some other posters on here is that Mr Seigel is conceded and believes he is above people. Maybe I am wrong maybe he is a nice guy deep down but in business and the way he presented himself to me he is not. All it took was an apology by Ben, but he just didnt have it in him nor does he regardless of the situation. The OP was wrong in some ways, she shouldnt have jumped to conclusions, and should have sent the animal back. However when she says she was brought to tears I can sympathive with her. I am certain Ben pulled his condescending holyier than now attitude. Also, only after Ben degraded the OP was she sent a UPS return label. Did he make it right or try to ultimately yes. Was it necessary to degrade her no. Even after on this board she said Ben made it right by refunding the money he still decided to trash her. Ben be a professional take the high road. She said you made it right accept it and move on.
Anyway, the animal shouldnt have been sent, I shouldnt have been overcharged. Were they done on purpose no. Does ben for the most part sell good animals. Yes. Does he need to try and respect people, listen to them, not think he is better than everyone. YEs.

Over the years, I have bought from and sold to Ben... So as a breeder, does that make my animals sub par? I have never had a bad transaction with Ben, ever!! In fact, he's very easy to get a hold of...and OP really? You couldn't deal with Stacey? She's extremely knowledgeable and more than capable of making decisions...
The original poster is absolutely in the wrong for being greedy. She should have sent some of the money back to Ben, but instead brags that she's paid bills now... Really?
While the snake did have damage, accidents can happen. Ben made it right, and then some... The OP got a free snake and all of her money and still never apologized to Ben for her FB posts... I don't blame Ben for what he said to you... I would be pissed off too.. I think people forget that Ben has a life outside of the store and FB...
Ben, you are still a good guy in my book.....

And to the OP... I actually saw your work at a show and considered buying your almost $300 dollar piece.... but if this is how you do business and your ethics... I think I will take that money and spend it at Ben Siegel reptiles instead..

Robert, you couldn't be more wrong... Ben has never been rude or degrading to me. And Ben didn't trash the OP... Go to her FB and she what she did to him and maybe you will understand his anger. If someone said rude things about me, I wouldn't be very happy.. yet he still refunded her money and she kept it AND the snake... As far as your transaction with Ben, did you realistically try to fix it? Ben is a stand up guy... He would have made it right.

You can't see what she did to him... she took the post down a long time ago, which was smart on her part because it made her look bad. I read the full post before she pulled it and IMO she was bulling Ben to get what she wanted.
