Urban Albino guarantee/worthless

IMO 100% seller fault because he is the one who could have refused to ship it but he didn't. He also sent the wrong snake.

Is any seller worth their salt really going to let the buyer dictate shipping terms when it conflicts with the potential safety of the animal being shipped? Which is more important, ensuring the sale or ensuring that the snake isn't harmed?

Looks like everything got settled nicely. It's too bad that the poor snake is dead though. I do find it very upsetting that when someone comes on here to post about a horrible thing that happened to them, that THEY get accused by members on here of "having it in their collection". That is quite an accusation and unwarranted. I would hope that the BOI is for the victims to get help and not have to worry about being accused of such nonsense. I personally think that Shawn should be issued apologies for this and good on Michael for making things right. Just my .02

I just got a vanilla female from Michael and she was shipped perfectly and looks great. She is eating and growing like I weed. I would absolutely buy from him again. I couldn't be happier with our transaction. With this piebald situation I feel like Michael still comes out as a good guy because he took fault for everything and righted the situation. That is customer service. Can't wait to buy from you again Michael.

I may have interpreted things differently along the way than others, but initially I would agree with you up until I read the post from the original victim stating:

He is completely denying that this is his snake that came out of the box.

Followed by the seller:

...I called him back right away; and said that is NOT the piedm10....

...Again, the pictures of the died snake he posted is NOT the pied male I sent him...

Once these accusations fly, it is wrong to all out attack one party over the other party, but must insist on evidence for either's accusations... evidence which was not being posted to support either's claim.

For us to accuse flat out that the victim was in the wrong is absolutely poor practice on our part, yet the two involved parties were the ones who started the accusations, unless I missed something.

That's at least my perception of the situation.

im sure he doesnt even have that same snake. i seen that same snake picture on yahoo images. and it looks like that snake has been dead longer then 24 hours.

The deli cup in the picture has the sellers writing on it. I think (or hope) he would have noticed that.

Perhaps it is alive and happy in Shawn's collection?

I noticed you have been quiet now, after posting the label, mouth full of crow?

And kudos to Michael for manning up here. Lots of people make mistakes, its how you respond to those mistakes that defines who you are. I think at first he really believed the OP was pulling a fast one. Glad it worked out, regardless of the accusations towards the OP.
