    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Thanks Robbie. Guilty as charged I suppose. If Jim is a jerk...I am the darkest of jerks myself. My own wife calls me an a$$hole and I always feel a sense of warmth roll over me when she does. Muah! Keep it coming f@ggot. (Gosh I am letting my mentor influence me too much I think. What will all of my homosexual friends and family think of me now.)
 
Kevin. You are being a jerk like Jim. I already said I love Jim's cages. That's why I stick up for him. Why would you make me say it again and again unless you were just being a jerk.

Im not trying to be a jerk... I'm trying to figure out your rational for supporting someone like him when there are others in the industry that make just as good of a cage as him, or even better than him that doesn't have the attitude problem.

Keep in mind... I do understand the looking for a perfect cage. I spent quite a while looking at several cage manufacturers. Some builders offer options that others dont. Some have thicker plastics. Some has this... some has that on their cages.

Maybe you got lucky... maybe you didn't have the problems that the OP showed with photos. Congrats.

I guess I am just stuck in my ways.... to me customer service plays a big role in where I spend my money. There is another well known cage builder that I sent 3 emails to with questions about his cages. They went unanswered... and I refuse to buy from him as well. I spent my money with a cage builder that actually has customer service and has answered each and every question I sent them.

Call me dense... I just cant see supporting someone that offers either crappy or no customer service. What if something goes wrong? You're left holding the bag. :shrug01:
 
I get so tired of being nice to people who are not nice. But anyways, I gotta go crawl into mama's basement now and catch some sleep. Thank you all for having me and I hope it all works out between Joshua and Jim which is what this is all about.
 
Clay if you wanted me to quit posting by resorting to calling me names you have won. Comment's like your's only take away from the OP's reason for posting making it harder for all to see the real deal. You know get them distracted with bull. Jim is wrong 110%, Clay is blindly biased, Joshua need's satisfaction, end of story.
 
Okay Kevin. I just saw what you said and I think you deserve a better answer. So here it is. I LOVE my cages from Jim. I asked for advice from everyone on this thread about where I can find cages that are just as nice or nicer for a price close to what Jim charges. Answering the question might have been outside the scope of this thread now that I think of it. So if people want to PM me with their thoughts, I will listen. That's really the reason. Plus at one point I was mean to Jim when I bought cages from him and he took it like a good business owner and refunded all of my money like I asked him to. I changed my mind and have never regretted it. That's the back story you were looking for I guess. I don’t want to talk to anyone else on this thread anymore. If you want to call, email, or PM me, please do and I will respond. Thanks again everyone. Joshua I wish you the best and I know you only wanted what I wanted when I bought my cages.
 
Some members are racking up infraction points pretty quickly in this thread with the name calling and derogatory comments. I think some are going to have a ban in their future pretty shortly.... :NoNo:
 
Thanks Clay, your very true in alot of aspects, very confusing in others, and can be interpreted very wrong lol I think its cool of you to see both sides now, and the advice your trying to give to your friend.

I definately would have spent the extra $$$$$ IF I knew they came welded, but it said nowhere on his site that they did. I thought if its extra just to screw them together to come assembled, why the heck would I do that?

Also, I do like the cages as I stated in my emails, and am disapointed this all happend as I would have liked to keep the same style and brand in the future when I got more.

If Jim ever did make it right with me, and also apologized, I would honestly forgive him and wish and pray for him that he would turn his way of buisness around because as A person, I would not like to see this happen to him, as I would anyone. Lets all keep our fingers crossed!
 
It looks like Clay has the same sickness that Jim does. Neither one can keep from :shootfoot. Geeze this is getting ridiculous! Clay I hope you are looking to rack up the negative karma and bad reputation just like Jim because you are well on your way to trashing your own name here! It's bad enough that you are defending Jim and now with the :censored: and :icon_bs: that is coming out of you, your reputation is going down the toilet!

Well Done Sir
:thumbsup::notallthe
 
Wow, since when must we compromise our feelings and who we are because someone make a good product. To me Josh spent his hard earned money for a product, point blank period. In receiving this product there where issues and concerns, he then contact the owner and he is being treated and talked to this way, thats non-sense. Why should that man have to watch how he feel when he spent his money on a product he is getting from someone else. Animals dont make Jims buisness prosper its people. At the end of the day if you cannot watch your temper or control yourself thats what personal assistants are for and secretaries. Never in my life I would think someone would say as a grown man or woman well I look past this persons temper because they make an excellent product. obviously the people that want to be googled and look up lack one thing with the constant reminder of having a larger vocabulary. To me my friend thats called common sense, lets just tell the kids of the word it dont matter how someone carry themselves or there business, still continue to make them richer and support there product.
 
What most of you people can not get throug your thick skulls is I was here to help resolve his problems.
This person accused me of something I did not do, he did not believe me and repeatedly said yes I did.
So then I became the jerk and a hole which probably many of you would do, I am not just a all out jerk I have to be provoked.

If anyone else pulls the stunts he pulled you will get the same treatment.

Also what you do not understand is this person tried to file a claim with paypal to get all not part of his money back and this was before the problem was resolved.
I did not mess up his cages he did and he wanted me to pay for his mistakes.

If you all feel you can funk something up that you bought and then send it back for a refund then your all sick.
 
If I was Jim I would:

1. Stop posting in this thread.
2. Email the guy, the OP, offline and figure a way to make the guy happy --- Even if you feel justified in telling him to eat it... try to fix it even if you are sure it is not your fault.
3. Let time try to heal what has been done in here.
4. Continue to make excellent cages.

My 2 cents.

If you sit back and just reflect on those four points above and think about it rationally I think you will realize that is the best approach available to you.
 
I'm awaiting the next installment of Clay (not really). Jim comes and posts here in what is now for him a classic abrasive style. Clay follows and tells us (as if we could not come to our own conclusions) what Jim said, what he was thinking when he said it, and how we should overlook everything, blindfold ourselves, and swallow his view of the universe.

This thread has become the epitome of spin and mirrors what happens when a politician makes a big time blooper.

Cage building is competitive, there are plenty of saner alternatives. There are craftsmen who will quickly and without fanfar provide service in the case of any mishap. Why would anyone want to buy a cage and possibly have to be plunged into the soap opera of 'All My Cages', I don't know.

Wow Jim, the BS keeps coming. :shootfoot I didn't lie about the holes, accept it, move on and get over it. They were there, they were real, and if you can't wrap your head around how they got there, that in no way is my problem because THAT IS HOW THEY CAME.

It is Jim's pilot hole job (or his wife like Jim says because he can't seem to take any blame himself) that caused the damage to some of the panels of the cages, NOT the countersunk holes so that arguement is pointless anyways. IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE COUNTERSUNK HOLES I NEED PARTS REPLACED!

If anyone else gets crap parts like I did you will treat them the same way? There ya go Clay, watch your back if you order from Jim again!

Blatant lie about the PayPal claim, I NEVER tried to get all my money back. Even with the PayPal claim I asked for a PARTIAL refund and will look to see if this transaction is still on PayPal and provide proof of that on here.

As far as saying I tried to file that claim before it was resolved, IT STILL ISN'T RESOLVED! :angry: And the way the emails from you were going Jim, it was obvious you weren't going to help me or replace the crap you sent so what choice did I have but try to recover something out of this? :shrug01:

To everyone who has gotten good cages from Jim and it went smooth: I am glad for you, because if it didn't, you would be posting here just like I am. :yesnod:

To everyone who will be ordering from Jim in the future: Good Luck. You will need it. ;)
