Well Jeremiah, it is very noble of you to stick up for your friend but, the fact remains that he owes Chris, myself and a few other people some money or some animals! The fact that he is busy with school, work or whatever is really not our problem.
I know I paid a nice chunk of change for a animal that ended up being terminally ill. I had sent him the money the day before I received the animal so there was no reason that I could not have been refunded in a timely manner. A business should have enough money to back whatever they sell incase it needs to be refunded. It seems that he does not operate that way, which is a poor business practice.
spam_Yes, he seems like a good kid. I've chatted with him many times via e-mail, Instant Messanger and Telephone. But just being a good guy does not make you a good businessman.
What it all boils down to is: if you bought something at a store, and found out it was broken when you got home and opened it, would you wait an indefinite amount of time for the store to replace it with a new one or to refund you your money? Of course you wouldn't! You would want compensation immediately. Well so do we! We are tired of waiting and getting the run around.
Here is an example for you of how he operates: A customer of mine had contacted Jordan about some animals. Jordan had a specific snake that my customer had liked. They had set it up so that Jordan would ship to my customer and my customer would pay me upon his approval. The animal was supposed to be shipped yesterday, March 14, for delivery today. I just spoke with my customer and he said he never received the animal orspam_a e-mail or phonecall from Jordan stating that the animal was or was not shipped.
I can't wait to hear what his excuse was for that!
