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.

I do not think you would have been refunded Ryan had it not been for your posts here.

After all those times where he did nothing, you think one more request would have made a difference?

Nick
Thank you for the kind words Nick.
I try and be tactful but can see in hindsight where sometimes things could be done differently.
My main contention was delayed follow through that left doubt in my mind in a satisfactory resolution.
In the end it worked out regardless of the catalyst. I’m satisfied.
Last thing I want is to be blacklisted as an unreasonable customer as the reptile community is something I truly enjoy and hope to be a long lasting part of.
Sincerely,
Ryan

Lucille,
I agree with your posts.
I tried to make it professional and not personal but I shouldn’t have let the fire die down in my original pursuit of resolution.
I’m confident the catalyst was Fauna.
The BOI can wreck havok on people with ill intent and that was not my intent and definitely don’t want to be one of those pain in the butt customers you sometimes see.
In this case the BOI worked as designed in my opinion and I thank you all for that.
Sincerely,
Ryan

The link worked exactly as I thought it would, it provided the motivation for him to send the refund asap. You gave him many opportunities to make it right before recounting your experience. You have done no wrong and his only mistake was not sending the money when he said he would.
The BOI worked for you as it should, peer pressure motivated him to send the overpayment back immediately.

Ryan, you did nothing wrong and you in no way look unreasonable. You gave him many opportunities to return your $300 and he didn't. And, you didn't even start this thread, you just commented.
Him acting like a jerk about it now does not reflect well on him. A better response would have been, "gee, I'm sorry I've been hanging onto your $300 for months, and you've had to ask over and over". It's good that he returned the money, but it's a shame he couldn't be gracious about it.

Eric has helped me get animals to my clients in Asia and Europe many times.

Eric Crider
I have known Eric since he was a teenager. We had an issue on follow through with a purchase many years ago. Then, like now, I think, he gets too busy with everything he does and sometimes does not get things done in a timely manner. Sounds like most of us. He sells nice animals and I think he is perfectly honest. Too bad this was not resolved before it escalated to a BOI posting.

Ryan,
I have no doubt in my mind that you would never have seen your refund were it not for you posting here. For Eric to say he's offended after he held your money for almost a year, and you reached out to him several times asking for your refund, is unreasonable and childish on his part.
Yes, you have finally been made whole, but I will definitely never consider doing business with Eric Crider after his unprofessional response to you.

I think most of us remember to pay the electric bill, especially if we miss once and sit in the dark for a few days. I think we remember to pay our income tax. Property tax.
A lot of us forget to do stuff, but when it comes to financial transactions, we do get those paid in a timely manner.
If Eric is one of these people who honestly cannot keep track of his finances, the fair thing for him to do would be to remain in the hobby, have his friends, but stop selling. I'm sure he must be able to see that unfairly holding on to someone else's money when it should be refunded and when he has agreed to refund, isn't right.
