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.

Even if she did book and pay the shipping and you did not think the weather was sufficient enough to ship in you should have contacted her and told her that shipping would be delayed until the weather was nicer. On that note, Why would you use a heat pack that is good for one day and not a 2 day or longer heat pack if you did not think that the weather was sufficient to ship in?

Ok, Ed - You not having the money has NOTHING to do with the situation.
While it is true that most breeders will NOT ship if temps are low BUT YOU DID, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that the animal is safe to ship NOT the buyer. I don't care who paid for the shipping it is your responsibility to ensure it is safe. That you are trying to blame the buyer is CRAP and you know it, so just stop right there with that line of reasoning. Oh also, great customer service there "you just screwed up and blamed it on the weather," NICE.

That is absolutely true, if the seller can produce proof that the shipment arrived they are clear as far as paypal is concerned! Credit cards solve this problem as you can file a claim that the product was not what as advertised.

WOW, again. Good luck with that customer service. Also, get prepared for a bunch of negative attention with that attitude.

Want to state a few things. The storm was in cali (near OPs location) it was a 2 day rain storm but the temps NEVER went below 40. The night temps were in the 50's days in 65-75. (This is off memory but you can check threw a number of websites for exact numbers) ed. Even if it was carrier error, the blame is on you because you put a 1 day heat pack in with her! Refund her money, resolve this situation, and practice better shipping methods. My .02

OK, maybe she should have got the guaranteed live delivery before being shipped. But with that being said how many people do you think will purchase anything from you knowing that you do not guarantee live delivery? You are digging yourself a hole with your comments and I myself would not purchase anything knowing live arrival is not guaranteed. Write this off as a loss and a lesson learned and refund the money to your customer. Refund everything but the shipping cost and make this right and maybe this thread will not haunt you later down the road because you did the right thing and refunded the money and made a customer satisfied by doing the right thing.
