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.

Alan Hall (cheapcages.com)
Hello, I am inquiring whether anyone has placed an order within the past two months on cages from Mr. Hall.
I placed an order on December 18th and was told I would have a maximum three week turnaround on my cage since he was behind with a large order.
Well Today is February 28th and I still have not received anything. I have been in contact with Mr. Hall weekly and as of last week (Feb. 21st) my order was supposed to be shipped out.
I have not received my order, nor the tracking number in an email that was supposed to accompany the shipping. As a matter of fact I tried to contact Mr. Hall on Friday via email and phone and again on Saturday and Sunday and today and have not been able to contact him.
He received the funds on December 18th but I have nothing to show for it.
Is anyone else in the same boat?
Thanks, Andrew Owen, Varanus Creations
This is from paypal:

Alan is not well liked on this board so you may not get a response.
He hasn't posted on any other boards for a few days so it is possible that he is not able to answer you. He shoudl make good on the cage for you. I have not had a problem with him delivering when I got a cage a few years ago from him but I think 3 weeks is a short lead time since he is the only one who builds the cages. I wouldn't give up just yet.

I ordered several cages from alan late november, and more the first week of Dec. I got the first shipment about 3 1/2 weeks after ordering. 3 were broken by the shipping company. still waiting on the last replacement - it has been shipped but is taking forever. the last piece of the order placed the first week of december just got here about 1 1/2 weeks ago (for whatever reasons, they were not shipped together) - Alan was pretty good about explaining what was going on through the process; though once the cages were done and waiting to be shipped, there was quite a delay in them actually going out. I will not condemn or defend the delays, but you will be happy with the cages when they arrive.

I have delt with Alan a couple times. And i do know that he is very busy because like Steve said he is the only one who builds his cages. I would not give up on him either and im sure he will make it right by you.

Thank You for your replies
I too hope this gets resolved soon. To me the amount of time for turn around is unacceptable (if you can't fulfill orders in a decent timely manner, why advertise?).
I really hope this all works out sooner than later, he has my money and i have nothing.

This situation was discussed on another thread, also...and had the same concensus...that small cage builders get a little ahead of themselves, and oversell when perhaps they should not.
Hopefully, this will work itself out easily for you.

yes
I tried calling Alan, as I said in the first post.
We have spoken by phone and my cage was supposed to have gone out last monday. He has not responded to another email or several phone calls since. Also, this was not the first day (or second) that they were being shipped out.

My bad, I misread. I didn't realize you'd tried calling since the last scheduled ship date.
