Please beware of this seller, Wendy Childs. This seller is delusional and will probably try to defend herself but I don't care and feel it's my job to warn others.
She had a lot of 15 Nosy Be Panthers that I purchased but never got. She had several excuses as to why they weren't shipped and at one point I was told that they were shipped. She used a paypal that was not registered to her, this was a sign that I should have caught.
I sent her the paypal on Friday, August 26th with an agreement that she would ship on the following Monday. I gave her the address to a friends house where the weather was perfect for shipping!!! and made a 3 hour trip Sunday night to be ready for the 10:30 delivery. Waited all day and they never came....and after several phone calls I made to Wendy she finally sent me a huge text from which was extremely hard to decipher. Some excuse about the police shut down the city, they missed the driver, a shootout and who knows what she was saying. So I said either refund my money of send it to the UPS center near my house with cold packs. I provided the address and she said yea know problem.
So I returned home and didn't hear anything the following day, Tuesday. Ok so Wednesday morning I asked for the tracking number being UPS wouldn't give me any info without the tracking number. A few hours later I get a message from her phone from another person, Rochelle Spencer, saying package was shipped but Wendy was at the hospital and will contact me ASAP with tracking.
I'm stressing being I never received any info until the next day. It is now Thursday and Wendy sends me a text stating that when she gets to the shop she will send me tracking so I can pick these guys up. Never get it. Later that day after many texts back-n-fourth she says not to worry and the package was safe in her care.
Now I'm super confused. Asked for a refund or a tracking number by that evening, this being Thursday. She sends me a picture of the package, weird but ok. So she is going to ship for Friday pickup and provides a tracking that will work once the package goes out....
Friday- suprise. No package. She will send me a refund due to the shipping delays. She sends it UPSP certified and it's supposedly a $100 check.
She tells me about all her medical issues and all these reasons why the package was not shipped. I sympathize and agree to wait out the weekend for Tuesday shipping, being Monday the 5th was a holiday. Tuesday comes and now she states it's too hot to ship with the temps in the 80's and nobody ships in the 80's. Even though this week is much cooler then last week and raining, it's too hot to ship.
She states that it looks like it will be 85 until Friday. So I said just send me a refund. She states she doesn't give refunds. I tell her I will give her an hour or I'm filing a dispute with paypal.
Now shes saying I committed fraud posting the pics she emailed to me and violated her terms. I also find out that the "$100 check" she sent me was actually a blank document that was a form used by the USPS and did not contain a check at all.
She tells paypal that she sent me what I purchased and provided the tracking number of the blank document to paypal. Now I'm fully aware that this was a scam. Then she tells The Chameleon Company that I owe her $100 and they send me a threatening letter stating I must pay back Wendy Childs of WA or they will destroy me.
I'm so confused by how delusional she is. She then calls me a thief and a liar and tells me she has a "record of kidnapping and assault
"
I won the claim with paypal but then she appeals it and that's it where I'm at. She says stroke forces sale but if that were the case I think she would be eager to ship out.
That is my story and I'm sure she will have her own, but don't say you weren't warned.
