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.

Stu, the UPS box has not arrived despite the 10:30am guarantee. It's now on the cusp on 7pm EST. Will text you to advise as well.

Jerry-I will send tracking data on the shipment once it is booked. Thank you for making good on the first half of the refund as agreed. I will be looking forward to the balance ($1600) by the end of this month

I have to admit I haven't read all posts so I don't know if it was mentioned how you paid in the first place, but if it was by paypal there is no fees if a refund issued properly. Even a partial refund isn't charged fees.

I'm pretty sure they were beyond the refund period....Stu said this has been going on since early Dec.

Jerry-I sent you the tracking number yesterday when I shipped them. Here it is again in case you didn't get it: 1Z22YT64NT91162492. If you check on it through the UPS tracking site you will see it was delayed in Illinois due to aircraft mechanical problems. I called UPS earlier today and they said it is back in transit and will be delivered tomorrow morning.
Dennis H.-My PayPal account was credited with $1500 of which I received $1456.20....go figure.

Stu, as you know we've texted back and forth today. All animals were received & promptly taken to a friend's home nearby to play fair into the ZD theory and take appropriate precautions. I was surprised to see that one b/w Sierra male was in perfect condition (save for one eye that looked a little dry but everything else was perfect -- no dryness whatsoever w/ smooth skin and no motor issues). The other b/w male had shed in the cup & appeared a little dry but nothing at all like the original photos posted. His head scales were smooth and belly scales looking superficially wrinkly (small lines in the scale would best explain until I can get a mecro-shot of it). The female hets are okay, one being ion perfect condition and the other female also having shed while in the cup and appearing much the same as the aforementioned male. Suffice it to say, there is a significant improvement overall in their appearance. Will be in touch again at month end to complete our transaction. As for the snakes, well, they will simply remain elsewhere and observed diligently over time for any ongoing improvement, if any, which I am hopeful for. And no, these will not be re-sold. On a side note (and not wanting to be anyone's messenger, so I agreed to do this only once with him), Matthew has advised me that his animals remain in perfect condition and thriving very well. He asked me to mention that his photography is really bad & assures those wondering that the animals are perfectly fine & not demonstrating anything like what Stu has experienced. He also states that he rarely goes into the computer & doesn't really want to get involved in this matter. That being said, any further correspondence from Matthew will be from him directly. If he chooses not to participate, then that has nothing to do with me.
Talk to you soon Stu.

Your word, jer, is not of much value. Saying that someone told you something doesn't carry much weight with anyone who knows you.
How about posting some pictures of these snakes you just got back from Stu? Some verification of what you say really is necessary if you want to be believed.

OK, then he most certainly could send it as a "gift" which will not take out the fees.

Month's end is only 10 days away......<praying for strength>
Glad the animals look to be in decent shape, Jerry; but your description of things SEEMS to be downplaying the legitimacy of Stu's concerns - intentionally, or not. Regardless of whether this turns out to be ZD, I think most readers can relate to the idea that when one is paying $3100 for a handful of snakes, one doesn't want issues.
Stu - not too long ago, a question was posed to you about your impression of the animals when you first unpacked them. I may well have missed your response...but, if you have not yet answered, your thoughts would be appreciated.
