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.

About 2 months ago.. I sold some fat-tail albino geckos to a gentleman..THe geckos were lost in transit for 5 days.THey were packed well with heat packs and styro. It was totally the carriers fault and nothing me or the reciever did.Needless to say the geckos arrived alive and well. I did tell him if there was any problems that iwould replace them no problem..Well no thats its been almost 2 months he ssends me an email saying 2 have died..I sent him 10 by the way.My question is..WOuld you still replace them after almost 2 months time has passed? I can see if it has been a week or 2 maybe ,ubt I figured if anyhting was gonna happen to them it should have well before now..Any advice would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
God Bless

Most breeders cover animals for 30 days tops unless there is a specific issue. So for the most part I would say no.
On the other hand I do continual business with vendors (both in the company I own that is not herp and in the herp industry) that go beyond the norm in providing service / satisfaction. I know little about geckos but maybe meeting them half way (for example cover the shipping or 1/2 the shipping of his next order) as a sign of good will could get you a customer for life (and the people he talks to about you).

What kind of guarantee did you give him when you shipped them? If you didn't give one, then the industry standard applies, which I believe is 48 hours, or ask around what others give as a guarantee.
Or, you could just be a nice guy and split the loss. Send him one and make him pay shipping. Also, I would get the dead bodies from him.

If you didn't state a time limit and there were extenuating circumstances (delayed in shipment). I would think you would have to make good on your promise. Although 2 months is a rather long time. I would have to know a lot more about the deal to make a good judgment. I'm sorry for your problem and I'm glad I don't have to make the call on this one.

TWO MONTHS!! Geckos are not household appliances. I don't think it's fair that he even asked you to replace them, especially if there'd been no contact stating he had concerns about them. Did he mention anything about them not feeding or looking bad when they arrived? Brian

When they first arrived he said 2 of the 10 were a little slow moving but the 2 he said were slow arent the ones he wants me to replace..I think i will offer to replace one of them..I will not cover shipping and and if he watnt hte other i will sell it to him for the price of a hatchling..That way i dont feel guilty about it and the deal will be done..Thanks for the advice guys..
God Bless

That is pretty nice of you. I would do business with you if you had something I wanted ( I did want those hets, but the price of the albinos dropped way too quick).
In the future you should have a written guarantee. I do it with all my animals, especially my puppies. Sometimes it is hard to say no to someone, but if you always say yes, people will definately try to take advantage.
