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.

Heather Bishop - If we pick the snake up from the hub we will kill it...intentionally
Over the years I have dealt with plenty of people that I do not agree with but this one really just takes the cake. This customer was such a nightmare I feel I am obligated to share her disregard for life to hopefully make sure nobody else has to deal with this headache and no more animals are ever put in harms way because of her.
Long story short, Heather Bishop purchased a snake off our website that we had listed at $199. Her temps were too cold for home delivery and she excitedly agreed to pick the animal up at the hub. We shipped like normal and the animal arrived at the hub like normal. Then we get an email from her asking if she could keep the snake for a few weeks and then send it back for a full refund. We are not in the business of "renting" snakes out for a few weeks so told her all sales were final sorry and didn't think anything else of it when she said she would be picking him up shortly.
A few hours go by and we notice the snake is still at the hub so we email, text, and call to be sure she is going to pick the snake up. This is where we get told that her dad said if she picks the snake up at the hub it will be killed and demanded a full refund. The actual shipping there was $65 and that's what it costs to mail it back as well so really fedex is the one that was making out on this deal. Luckily the animal was held at the hub and return shipping was easy. The poor thing would have likely been left to die if it had been shipped to her doorstep!
I wish if they were so passionate about disliking snakes to say they would literally kill it if they picked it up from the hub that they would have just NOT purchased the snake or just told me that before I shipped it so that they could get a refund. Luckily I do not cut corners on shipping and although the low was FREEZING the snake was packed extremely well with a 60 hour pack. I always pack prepared for a delay that would cause the snake to take 2 days in transit....I just never expected a customer to refuse picking the animal up at the hub.
I have not posted about this transaction until now because of course she told her bank that I never shipped her anything and I tried to rip her off so they did a charge back. Square had the transaction pending so I just held off on the BOI post until then. Side note, square was 0 help and basically said all they do is hold the money until the customers bank decides what they want to do which I can't expect a different outcome than the bank siding with their customer ever happening.
I would under no circumstances ever sell Heather Bishop anything living and hopefully this posts can help prevent anybody else dealing with this headache and prevent any other animals just cruising across the country round trip for no reason.

Hopefully the bank will side with you, as she didn't follow your TOS & you did ship a product.

It's possible, but I find it hard to believe she...
A. Had access to a credit card at 16 (I know she "stole it", and used it illegally)
B. Ordered something with said credit card that she knew her father was completely against to the point he would kill
Smells like buyers remorse. Would love to see if she is truly that age.

Unfortunately not. The bank took the money and gave it back to her.

I don't think she stole the card the billing info was her name not the fathers.
