Inquiry: Carrie Waters

She is selling hedgehogs through UPS.  She claims she sends them as "bonzai" trees and they ship safe and cheap.  Sounds too good to be true.  Does anybody know her and what experiences have you had?  Thanx Vinny (OFF THE ARK)

1) You need to post using your full name, even though this is just an inquiry.

2) Try doing a search on Carrie Waters, and you'll see that she is not a person that you would want to deal with.


She's shipped a gaboon viper via UPS. Now, if that wasn't bad enough, she shipped it to MN while temps were below freezing, with one heat pack and no styro liner in the box. Furthermore, the gabbie was in a deli cup, with just a rubber band holding the lid on.

There's other info about her on the board- none of it good.

Just to clarify what the "other info" entails...

It has been alleged that she and her husband have attempted to scam folks by giving them a tracking # for an express mail package (to show that payment was sent), and asking them to send the animals befor payment arrived, as they can only receive during a very limited time frame. As the story goes, the tracking number is valid, but not for a package sent to the seller. It is for an item mailed to a friend.

True or not, I can't say. Either way though, I wouldn't deal with someone who shows no regard for the animals that she ships, or the safety of persons that come in contact with packages that she ships.

Did I mention the email addy you provided for her is the third one mentioned on this board that she conducts business under?
