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.

Chameleon Company
I am aware of a few people who just recently paid for chameleons from the Chameleon Company and have not heard anything back from them. I personally purchased two last month. Communication was good before purchase but became nonexistence afterwards.
Anybody aware of the situation? Is everything ok with Jim?

Luke it would be good to have those people come here and provide details rather than report some anonymous alleged complaints from others. I have sent Jim a link to this thread.

After reading the thread on the Chameleon Forum, it appears that you were told by the seller it would be 4-6 weeks before the critters would be shipped. However, I agree with you that you should be able to at least contact your seller for your own transaction, How did you pay for the transaction? If it was through Paypal, you can initiate an 'item not received' dispute because Paypal has deadlines in its resolution process. If it was through a credit card, talk to your bank.
I am sorry you have not received your critter and hope that Jim responds here with an explanation.

I hope he is OK too. But he will understand if you open a dispute (if you paid by Paypal). The way the dispute process works is that the seller is notified once the dispute is open. If the issue is resolve prior to the escalation phase the seller is not penalized. So go ahead and open one or notify your bank if you paid by credit card.

Have heard nothing from The Chameleon Company
I ordered a cham from Chameleon Company on Monday 3/13. I requested that the cham be shipped overnight to arrive on Friday 3/24. I have sent emails (3) since Monday and also tried to call - voicemail is full. I, of course, need to verify a live animal is going to be shipped overnight this coming Thursday (3/23). I took the day off from work so I would be at home all day on Friday.
I have already started my PayPal "investigation" this morning. I filled out the appropriate information on my PayPal account and this goes directly to Chameleon Company. If no reply from Chameleon Company, PayPal takes it from there.

I can see being concerned about the lack of communication and understand taking the step of disputing the payment made via PayPal. However, I don't think you can blame Jim for your needlessly taking off from work to receive a package that you had received no confirmation of a shipping date. I don't think any reputable seller ships without confirming the shipment date with the buyer.
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.

Did the seller advertise Thursday shipping for Friday delivery? Many will not in case there is a problem during transit, so the animal doesn't end up sit in the shipping box all weekend.
