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.

Thats why these businesses set up there TOS with making sure you pay for the shipping back. A perfect example is Big Apple Herps. same MO. You certainly can file a claim, but the question will come as to where is the merchandise. While in your possession, its yours. This would even hold true if the items in question came DOA. Claim or no claim.

Bull**** is still bull**** no matter what anyone decides to call it. Regardless of what anyone on the financial sector decides due to their rules the seller has shown that he is willing to misrepresent animals for a buck and when called on it hides behind his "no return" policy instead of making it right. The buyer may lose the cost of the animals and in terms of not getting what he was told that the animals were but make no mistake about it, the seller will be the ultimate loser in this situation by losing business as long as this thread is around for perspective buyers to see.

Thanks for all the input.
I realize there is a good chance I lose. However, I want to pursue every avenue that I can. If I lose, then I will re-sell the animals and move on. I don't want to sell them before the PP claim is settled (just in case I do win).
This is really the point to this whole thread (as posted by Bryan S above)

Before I paid the seller I searched the BOI, and he was/is a certified "Good Guy" so I didn't hesitate to send him payment. Had I found a thread like this I would not have been so eager to send off my money.
Hopefully this all saves someone else from going through this (or worse problems) with UN-trustworthy sellers such as this.

I wonder if they can lose their good guy certificate? Would it come from one transaction or more than one?
I would think his avoidance of this this thread speaks volumes.

I empathize with your situation, and i understand it as i experienced a similar experience. In my situation, the lizard in question was blind when received.
Never had made the trip back to NY when purchased by Apple. I spoke to the credit card company in length. The card company will NOT accept videos nor a doctors diagnosis. They just wanted to know who had the animal. Apple's position was even if returned, if it arrived dead, it would be at your loss, and that would include the overnight. We made the hard choice of keeping this $ 500. baby until it succumbed.
We can only advise others to be cautious about the return policies, regardless of how they may appear as "reliable " to deal with. My situation is very well documented, I think even on Fauna. Its been several years now. Any new claims against Big Apple are always the same. Good luck .

Anyone can vote against his good guy certificate, I have already. I posted a link several posts back.
I reached out to him several times through Pm, with no response. People make mistakes, it's how we handle the mistakes that actually sets us apart. Definitely a bad guy in my book!
