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.

Kevin, I'm not requesting that you return the deceased boa to be a pain but it's needed for any possible insurance claim we might be able to pursue with our Insurance carrier. ...
March 21st
Kevin, It just occured to me that Sean thinks I'm filing a claim with FedEx and need his help, I don't. FYI I couldn't file a claim for anything from FedEx because the package was delivered on time and I had no declared value. The Insurance claim is with the company I have our boa and ball collections insured with, most big breeders have similar insurance and coverage.

Despite clear proof that the snake was dead, the seller absolutely refused a refund without receiving the body back. It does seem kinda odd to me given the abundance of photographic proof.

Reptilecam's theory doesn't seem any more far-fetched than others that have been thrown proposed.

I don't buy into either side's conspiracy theories, but if the seller wants to throw wild speculation into the mix, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I would issue a refund and place the buyer on the do not sell to list. Higher dollar sales such as this will result in folks doing their homework. When they do, they will stumble upon this thread. Holding the money for a reason that may or may not be true, only harms your reputation. Do you really want to risk your rep on a suspicion?

If Andrew Potts is producing High End Animals, shouldn't he know how to pack them, and ship them properly?
I can see how the buyer, Kevin and his partner, Sean would think that Andrew was trying to do something funny... Shipping a dead animal to make a claim on shipping insurance... And wanting the dead animal back was really important...
I am not saying that Sean was right to ask for an upgrade to their DOA Boa...
But, it looks bad for Andrew Potts to try and justify NO replacement animal and NO money back!!!
Now that we all have a good idea of what happen... Andrew and Kevin can settle this...

I agree with the money needing to be refunded but I still don't think Sean and Conner can be excused from this.

Might be best for this specific thread and situation that people with your own BOI thread refrain from chiming in .
