Morgan Dickey CA. ?

Anyone had any dealings with Morgan Dickey in Walnut Creek CA. ?

[Peacemaker]

Bad Guy: I decided to make a trade with Mr. Dickey and it was a great mistake! I traded some Dubia Roaches for a pair of Leo's and because of the cost of shipping he claimed he would be spending I added several roaches extra to help out! Then shipped first , again my mistake, the day after he was supposed to have shipped the Leos they had not arrived, but arrived on the second day realizing he had shipped USPS of all things, and they were in transit two days and arrived frozen! I managed to revive one the female, but since the last e-mail of many I sent him he will no longer reply or even try to make it right! I have all e-mails to send to anyone who would like to see the transaction! I am not going to waste a bunch of time posting and replying, but wanted to save anyone else the heart ache of doing business with someone who will not give you a fair deal! If at any point he makes good on his end of the deal I will re post for all to see!

Sorry that the gecko did not make it. However, you really do need to post your emails etc here. With that information the members here can begin go work their magic to get to the bottom of whatever happened. Be sure to include email headers and all communications. All you really have to do is copy the entire email(s) and post them in one long reply.

[merlin_008]

ATTENTION community. I received no confirmation of delivery. I just receive my FIRST e-mail from him tonight informing me the gecko was dead. If it truely has been dead this whole time I should've received an e-mail on 1/29/2011 when this was posted. He has had my phone number since the begininning of this transaction, NOT ONCE have I received a phone call. All of my e-mail transactions with him are as follows.

Due to no response or effort on your part to try and make our trade right, I have posted a bad guy post which will effect your reputation in the reptile world and will be making more post on any and all reptile forums possible, I will retract any and all post if we come to a positive agreement on our deal!

Hi Morgan:
Just letting you know the Leo's didn't arrive as scheduled today and according to the tracking number they will not be delivered until tomorrow which means they must have been shipped USPS priority instead of Express, my only hope is that they arrive alive as each hour now that they are in the box will decrease the chance of survival. Please respond and let me know if this is truly the case. I know cost of shipping was an issue and that is why you were shipped 750 more roaches than originally agreed upon, but I would not have put the lives of the Leos in jeopardy for any reason, I would have waited until it got warmer to make the trade if necessary to protect them! I hope they are ok and arrive tomorrow by 3:00 which is according to USPS and alive! Please again respond as I wrote to you earlier and have not received a response, which again concerns me!

Your shipment is on its way, ended up costing me $39.45 for shipping plus the roaches so I am figuring I have about $260.00 invested in the 2 leos, I really hope they are worth that much! I found a trio for $140.00 shipped that I bought last night! So I am really hoping these are killer Leos! Tracking number is EG 737770195 US and should arrive by noon tomorrow as I sent them express overnight!

You have 600 small,. 1100 med and 500 larger nimphs with a few adult males in the group which gives you a total of around 2250 already counted out and ready to pack and ship, I am gut loading them this weekend so they will be more than ready to feed when they arrive!

I will ship out on Monday for Tuesday Delivery providing the weather permits, but it looks good and I have 40 hour heat packs to put in the boxes for them to stay warm! Looks like shipping on my end is going to be around $35.00!

I will need a shipping address and when you would like me to ship it would be best to wait until Monday or Tuesday to ship so we don't have to worry about weekend traffic in the mail system!

I have a couple questions for the OP. How were the geckos packaged? Was it a foam lined box with heat packs etc? Also, do you have pics of the dead gecko (to show him that it is in fact dead).

SO why exactly did you quote the OP from UPS and then ship USPS???? USPS is WAY cheaper to ship. Your box probably did not weigh more than ~1 lb, 2 lbs at the MOST and would not cost very much to ship via UPS or Fedex (certainly not $98).

IF the gecko did die during transit , the OP is due something in return for the death of the gecko that died as a result of your negligence in my opinion! Granted the OP should have contacted you regarding the death. BUT even if the gecko did not die, your shipping is simply unacceptable.

[Peacemaker]

OK guys, I did not want to go through all this work to make a simple statement and not looking for judgement as I am not a judge, I just wanted you to know about this guy! So here are the e-mails as I have been requested to post, I hope I did it right you will have to read from bottom to top to get them in the proper order!

Hi Morgan:

Even though you will not contact me for what ever reason, I thought I would contact you again as I have all along and let you know it looks like the Female Jungle Raptor? Is going to pull through, I have thawed them very slowly and she is coming around nicely, the only concern now is that she could develop an upper respiratory infection, but I am really hoping for the best for her! The male seems to be expired so it seems I did manage at this point to come out with something for my good efforts and generosity in this deal! You have broke me though as I will never again ship first in any trade! I am going to a few reptile shows over the next few weeks and will be sure to spread the word about this transaction, starting tomorrow at a local show here in Kentucky where I am well known! I will also contact Rich Z. of Fauna Classifieds and post this transaction tomorrow evening, along with the, Repti Bid, Kingsnake.com, Craigslist in all areas, KRE , Lexington Reptile Show.com and Reptile Geeks sites and any others I can find if you have not responded with some dignity about this matter! All I am asking it that you respond and take this matter seriously as a real professional would! I hate to go that far over something that could be dealt with as professionals!

I would be willing to trade 1500 Mixed Dubia and will make sure there are adults breeding in the group for you so it will be a ready to go colony or you can divide it up into 3 colony's if you would like! I will need a shipping address and when you would like me to ship it would be best to wait until Monday or Tuesday to ship so we don't have to worry about weekend traffic in the mail system! My address to ship will be my work place as that is the best place for me to receive as that is where I am usually! Address is as follows:

Animal Resorts T.C.

If we can work something out please let me know.

Here is my third reply with out any response, the Leo's arrived frozen stiff, all the heat pack was gone and they are stiff as a rock! What are your plans to make this right? I did my part and sent you what you requested in trade and as of now I have nothing! I can send you photos of the frozen lizards if you want them! I am not happy to say the least, it only cost you $40.00 to ship and I allowed you extra because of what you said it was going to cost! I deal truthfully and expect to be dealt with the same! Respond ASAP so we can work this out so I do not have to start a bad guy thread which will be my next step if we can not get something together!

Look at the date and time the last post shows that I sent him the e-mail, he was notified the same day three different times!

I no longer have the gecko, needless to say after thawing it got really dark in color and began to smell so I disposed of it properly! Guess I should have taken that photo, but gave him the option with no replys. I was only to figure that I had been had!

[Peacemaker]

The packaging was a USPS Priority box with a few pieces of Express tape on it, with thin styro foam lining and a few pieces of newspaper crumpled up in the box with the Leos in 8 oz deli cups with wet paper towels or should I say frozen paper towels! Several people saw the packaging and the Leos that were frozen! I can get photos of the packaging if needed as I kept the box just in case!

Hi Morgan:

Even though you will not contact me for what ever reason, I thought I would contact you again as I have all along and let you know it looks like the Female Jungle Raptor? Is going to pull through, I have thawed them very slowly and she is coming around nicely, the only concern now is that she could develop an upper respiratory infection, but I am really hoping for the best for her! The male seems to be expired so it seems I did manage at this point to come out with something for my good efforts and generosity in this deal! You have broke me though as I will never again ship first in any trade! I am going to a few reptile shows over the next few weeks and will be sure to spread the word about this transaction, starting tomorrow at a local show here in Kentucky where I am well known! I will also contact Rich Z. of Fauna Classifieds and post this transaction tomorrow evening, along with the, Repti Bid, Kingsnake.com, Craigslist in all areas, KRE , Lexington Reptile Show.com and Reptile Geeks sites and any others I can find if you have not responded with some dignity about this matter! All I am asking it that you respond and take this matter seriously as a real professional would! I hate to go that far over something that could be dealt with as professionals!

Guess you have decided to no longer respond to your e-mails, so I will give you until Sunday Afternoon to respond and if no response or terms have been reached then I will be forced to post on the forums this whole transaction. I have all e-mails to show from beginning to end the trade deal and the outcome! I really do not want to go there as I like to settle things in a peaceful manner so please make an effort to correct this problem asap!

THERE SEEMS TO BE MISCOMMUNICATION. I NEVER RECIEVED THESE E-MAILS. I WOULD HAVE ACTED UPON THE SITUATION IMMIEDIATLY........


JEFF PLEASE E-MAIL ME SO I CAN SEE PICTURES AND MAKE THIS RIGHT!!!!!!!

[laterob]

ATTENTION community. I received no confirmation of delivery. I just receive my FIRST e-mail from him tonight informing me the gecko was dead. If it truely has been dead this whole time I should've received an e-mail on 1/29/2011 when this was posted.

Thu, Jan 27, 2011 9:17 pThis is the third time I have sent this same message, and I do not think they are going to recover from the freeze!
Merlin, it seems like he emailed you, although I am not sure about the 'three times' thing. He emailed you, in fact, 4 minutes after you asked him if they had arrived. This email seems to be missing from your account. Check your SPAM filter :shrug01:?

[merlin_008]

NO SPAM.. THE E-MAILS ARE NOT THERE.. NEVER WERE/ NEVER BEEN
AS SOON AS I SAW HIM E-MAIL ME TONIGHT I ACTED.

[laterob]

Hi jeff. That is the USPS for you. They were sent express. They should be there. They were shipped in a insulated box witha 40-hr heat pack. They should be just fine. Please advise me when the get there. It was this option as I was allready at the post office. I want to make sure you are satisfied, so please let me know how you feel.

Merlin - this one is missing from your account of emails, too, but it's one that you sent. I have no idea what could be going on with your e-mail. And I am not trying to accuse you...I am just trying to understand what could have happened. SO THERE'S NO NEED FOR ALL CAPS.

[Peacemaker]

I do wish to note that I do not do phone calls with these type deals as I have no proof of the conversation, it becomes one persons word against the others, I do prefer proof of any and all deals! I am also posting the current e-mails just to show we are negotiating at this time so all will be able to see!

What do you consider to be fair? We both have money and time involved and I am willing to be fair! As of right now I have 1 Leopard Gecko that I have approximately $289.00 invested in with 2250 Dubia Roaches and the $39.00 shipping cost! I am not sure what you valued the Leopard Geckos at, but I know the shipping was $40.00 and will take that into account! You shipped me 2 Leopard Geckos and one was dead so lets make this work!

Slander is something you cannot prove, and I have e-mails proving anything I could say! I have not as of yet posted or made mention of this matter except on the Fauna Classifieds as I have informed you about and if I post it any where else in the future I will advise you of such actions! I decided to give you a chance first and then started with Fauna! I have in no way slandered you and have been very much the professional in this situation! If a photo is the deciding factor I will go out in the frozen ground and see if I can dig it up and get photos for you, decomposed and all! If you do not wish to continue with the negotiations that is your right just is it is my right to make the post and continue to add each e-mail I receive from you in the matter! I will repeat, I am not looking to cause you trouble and do not wish to do so, I just want a fair deal in the end! The ball is in your court!

I only want to be treated fair in this deal, I was supposed to receive two high quality Leo's and only ended up with one, who I finally got to eat yesterday for the first time so I do think she is going to be fine! I would either like my second Leo shipped to me or a cash type refund which we can negotiate if you wish to go that route and considering the weather here right now it might be best, but I will leave that to you to decide, so make me an offer to settle this and we can move on!

Mr. Dickey:
Due to no response or effort on your part to try and make our trade right, I have posted a bad guy post which will effect your reputation in the reptile world and will be making more post on any and all reptile forums possible, I will retract any and all post if we come to a positive agreement on our deal! The female is still alive, but the male has expired so that is now what I feel you owe me for if you have a solution feel free to make an offer, as that is all I have ask for from the beginning. You can find the post on www.FaunaClassifieds.com and just type in your name and you will find it under the Bio's section! I will continue to update you as I make post and where they will be located!

Always in Christ

I do not know why you did not receive the e-mails that I sent you, when you have received every other e-mail I have sent, and you have seen proof that it was sent as I posted a copy of that e-mail on Fauna along with all the transactions of this deal! I do not make PM's or Phone calls to anyone who I am dealing with for the simple fact that I have no proof of the transactions just as in this case, where I am being called a liar, which I sir am not! I gave you a chance in the e-mails to avoid such actions and if you notice there is a ? mark not a red X on the forum as I am attempting to save your name by giving you a chance to make the deal right, if this is done as I said before I will be sure to let the public know that it was fixed on your part, thus saving your reputation in my eyes and theirs and will happily let anyone know you in deed completed the transaction! All I wish is to be able to either get another quality Leo or to be able to purchase one of the same value! I have found a male for sale that I can get for $85.00 to replace this male and I will even pay his shipping to get him! So if you are willing to Paypal me the $85.00 alone I will consider this matter solved and post it on Fauna as such! That is not even half of what I have invested in this trade!

I want to let all the Fauna members know that I am Sorry for the Foul language that were in the notes sent from Mr. Dickey, I did not know that it was legal for me to censor them out I thought they had to be posted just as they were received and will be contacting the FCC to find out the facts of that matter for future reference! I was told to copy and past them just as I received them in order and that is what I did, just to find out that was wrong. This was and will be my last Post on Fauna Boards, I was trying to help you all out and now I am being reprimanded for it! From this day forward I will handle my own business and that will be the end of it! Sorry I posted the foul language again and sorry you will not know about future bad guys from me!

[Peacemaker]

Wanted to let everyone that the deal with myself and Mr. Dickey has been settled! He made the effort to correct the mistake and reconciled the transaction completely! Hope everyone has a great day!
