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.

John-Shelby-
This Dude called us. We communicated via email and he called us. Yes, I do have his last email posted, I can post more if you wish.......but much of his communication was via phone. He sent one of his last emails stating that he "prefers phone".
Not sure why that is so hard to believe...........it's a simple matter, HE NEVER SHIPPED OUR SNAKES WHEN PROMISED, MULTIPLE TIMES!
Place yourself in my shoes for a moment, and imagine YOU took off work, more than once, to be home for a shipment I statedwould ship............and it never arrived. And then I did it to you AGAIN........LOL............he's kill'n us Man! LMAO!

Nick.. Your responses are hard to follow. I know you are pissed but do us all a favor and stop using the Caps. Type legible paragraphs and proofread what you are posting.
As for the E-mails. If you can take screenshots of the E-mails on both sides to show that the responses are doctored or not.. that would also be helpful.
I have purchased from Robert and trust him but Nick.. the way you are typing and going on about the same things over and over again with no proof just sounds like a kid in a candy store that can't reach what he wants.
You haggled over the prices.. told Robert to feed said animals.. asked him to wait to ship so you could set up for them and then when Robert delays shipping due to weather or whatever You blow up about it. Something just smells fishy so lets see those undoctored E-mail screenshots to prove your point!
Robert has posted proof and you haven't. Right now this is not looking to be in your favor. How you handle yourself here is how people will perceive you and make decisions on whether to do business with you OR Not.. and right now the latter seems the better option!
Just my .02.. take it for what it's worth.

COME ON MAN! I know that 9 out of 10 people out there are very intelligent, it's the nature of reptile keepers, to be intelligent, to read, to research, to educate ourselves.....we're NOT a dumb group of people, quite the opposite in fact............it does NOT take a rocket-scientist to understand this very simply matter. Here, here is the very simple matter:
ME AND MY FAMILY BOUGHT A BUNCH OF SNAKES, WE WERE TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES THEY WOULD SHIP ON SPECIFIC DATES. WE TOOK DAYS OFF WORK TO BE HOME. THE SHIPPER NEVER SHIPPED. I ASKED FOR OUR MONEY TO BE REFUNDED (SIMPLE REQUEST!) AND NOW I AM THE VICTIM OF A FORUM ATTACK. Robert McPhee, you should be ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR LYING. SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU. I can tell you never served a day of military service IN YOUR LIFE!...........because if you did, you would have acted with a bit more HONOR!

I would suggest perhaps a little less drama and a little more in the way of hard, solid evidence/proof/facts of your claims. This might make you look a little less absurd, were you actually able to back up any of your story with evidence. As it is, your posts look like utter nonsense and are hardly worth trying to wade through with the yelling, and random insults. Also, as a personal statement, I really, really hate the way you are trying to pull military service into this argument. Please don't.

Ok, I see it this way.
Regardless of how Giavasis comes off, he doesn't have his product AND he also doesn't have his money because the seller spent it.
Regardless (IMO) of whether or not this was discussed beforehand, it is a NO-NO to spend money before the buyer has his product. I am sorry that the seller was having money issues that required him to spend money that was NOT his, but that's the nature of the beast.
Doesn't matter if G is a flipper and the biggest blow-hard..he's out money.

Ryoko, many of our snakes were in fact delivered to our neighbors when as we could not be home! We were taking off of work to be home when possible, which is what made these missed work days all the tougher. Again, it is simple, he stated he'd ship, he did not ship. Then he repeated his actions....he said he'd ship, and he did not ship. So simple, and now the shear simplicity of the matter has been expanded like we're talking with Dr. Phil, LOL!
The guy told us he was shipping, he did not ship. He did that more than once so we asked for our money back. Simple stuff folks.......

Oh he should get his money back indeed. But in my opinion, he's bashing someone now for being reasonable about shipping in cold weather, after he himself delayed payment, was condescending and rude, changed the order mulitple times, delayed the shipping HIMSELF more than once, and is lying now about how the deal went, saying that he paid right away and only the seller delayed anything.
So yeah, he's due the money back and the seller said he's basically gonna pay him back, just not right away. I'm perfectly happy hearing what a complete jerk he's being so everyone knows NOT to deal with him because he'll screw you over and break the contract he entered into as soon as the whim hits him.
Also.. he's never addressed his outright lie about his other deal where he claimed his albino ball was "het for pastel", nor acknowledged that he himself delayed the deal and the shipping multiple times.
So yep, he's due his money back, as much as that should irk anyone who's dealt with a non-buyer like him who's so arrogant and condescending, he should get it back.

He ASKED for acknowledgement from YOU in that email too, did you reply with "Yes I am ready to accept shipment"? After all, YOU delayed shipment saying you didn't have space for them beforehand.

I spoke with Mr. Giavasis 2 times on the phone....the other times he did not answer his phone. His daughter answered once as he was unavailable. We made no arrangements during those conversations. I will post my phone records to prove this as soon as Sprint.com is back up and allows me to do so.
