Crappy Shipping Practices-Kevin Olbrych owner Suncoast Reptiles

more of the dialog

I will try to figure out how to screen shot the message he sent me through fauna today.

wait that's not the end of the dialog hang on

Ok figured it out

Sorry so long

This is the end of it other than the screaming message he sent to me through fauna. Am corresponding with another buyer through fauna who Kevin is also calling a liar and trying to intimidate her into silence. Not cool. These are really the kind of people who sell through here?

Sorry for how long this is and I tried really hard to make it as clear as possible the flow of the emails. I am NOT a liar. What am I lying about?? The video and pictures speak for themselves.

Not to derail your thread, but you shouldn't let one bad egg reflect the quality of the people who buy and sell through FaunaClassifieds. With any resource for buying and selling merchandise (be it a living creature or otherwise) through multiple independent merchants, you will encounter some bad experiences. That is to be expected unfortunately.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but it is certainly not Fauna's fault. It is solely in the hands of the seller, Kevin Olbrych/Suncoast Reptiles. It's not really the admins of this site's responsibility to make sure all of their sellers are 100% polite or professional, either. That's what the BOI is for. They do a good job banning known scammers, but in situations like this, sometimes saying nothing says more.

I know I would never do business with Suncoast Reptiles, seeing this thread - and I'm glad for it, because I live in Tampa and frequent conventions. It's good to have the warning.

I'm glad your tortoises are okay, OP.

Looking forward to updates on:

1) Any Postal Inspector involvement, considering it is unclear from the OP video(s) whether the USPS box was recyled or not?

2) The method in which OPer made payment and if the payment (for the $68 in shipping amount) can be/is being disputed with that method and/or reversed?

3) Kevin's more detailed response/explanation/apology on FC, other than just 'denying everything'.

I'd also wonder what exactly the OPer meant/implied by stating to Kevin 'you're off the hook' because the 2 CH's arrived alive; as well as why arriving at 68F (this time of year) might be a cause for concern, but those 2 queries are minor compared to the 3 i've listed above, imo.

In this day and age with your average liberally litigious consumers galore today wielding cameraphones, uploading 'UNBOXINGS' on YT, and sharing detailed experiences across the interwebs including on sites like yelp as well as FC; it perplexes me that any online business would be so careless in their shipping choices and then be so apparently evasive (thru denial) than apologetic & accommodating, indeed!
