    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.

    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....

Bad Guy Repti racks

If you were paid for the cagesd from someone else and Reti-Racks is shipping them to this new person, why are you still involved?

It appears to me that you took the buyers money and are now doing a chargeback on the original order. That is screwing 2 people over.

When you made the deal to sell the order to someone else, you should have walked away. Now Repti-Racks is getting a chargeback to deal with and your buyer has to now hope you refund him and he has to go somewhere else for cages and wait all over again.

Walk away. You are not helping the situation at all. In fact, I think you are making it worse.

nick don't have to hope he will get the refund when the charge back is final

120.00 is nothing for me sorry nick had to be put through all this..anyway hopefully reptiracks sees this and can fulfill his promises that we agreed on before the sale to nick smith
 
Fishy indeed

This does sound pretty fishy... I kinda see where Repti Racks is coming from and why they are unwilling to ship you the product. What if Mr. Nick magically appears a month later and says, hey here is my address please ship it to me...??? I'm guessing that Repti Racks is than left with a dilemma and maybe even some legal responsibilites. You probably should of never mentioned that you were transferring your order to Nick and provided them with the Virginia address, than they would have been inclined to ship too whatever address your heart so desired.

Seems like they're is a very reasonable solution to this problem, Nick should call them and provide his information. If Nick doesn't care enough and he paid you for the product, why are you so concerned...? If he is asking you where his rack is, you should post proof confirming so and you should also provide proof that he has provided ReptiRacks his info. You really shouldn't bring someone to this type of thread unless you have verifiable proof. Seems like the burden of proof is on you and not ReptiRacks.

Also, i don't see how them providing you a picture of the rack is necessary or even relavant. They are in the business of building racks to ship out, not building racks and keeping them in storage until someone decides to provide them with their shipping address. I wouldn't ship anything even if the buyer paid for it already until i knew where it was going. The most i would do is refund their money, but since you paid them and than said that he paid you, who are they really supposed to reimburse. Looks like you made your own bed on this one. Sorry if you don't like my response, but you posted this on here and it is just my opinion. I've purchased a rack from ReptiRacks, but I have purchased heating elements and small supplies from them at the reptile expo in NY that still works and know they have been around for some time. Just my 2 cents....

Good luck
 
see i don't want the cage at all,all i want is proof that it was built and tracking info which i was told i would be given

the reason i am asking for proof of the build is because he tried to rip nick off the first time on the size trying to charge him extra even tho a 4 ft was already paid for,sure it is nicks problem but i spent money and i don't want nick or anyone being ripped off for something that was already paid off in full by me,so i want to make sure nick is getting everything i paid for regardless of me getting it or now

and the refund?it was 313.00 that was total like i said before if he wanted to refund which he won't he can glady give nick 200 and me the rest vice versa but he won't refund or anything as i tried this back when he delayed the 20th on me.
 
are you crazy? he still owes the cage he got paid for.....you mean to tell me that for all the pet stores out there that purchase animals for people (special order) are no longer entitled to receive the product because they are no longer the rightfull owner of the animal....that is absolutely ridiculous....Zero logic behind that though process. And to even bring up a contract being drafted is absurd also....Why is it that some people insist on making things more complicated than they have to....A contract! That is the most impractical thing I've heard in quite a while.....Guess I'll go buy a bearded dragon from Petsmart and have a contract signed to ensure that the wholesaler will send it directly to me vice Petsmart.......C'mon, lets not check common sense at the door when logging on to Fauna.....I doubt many of you are business owners with logic like that.

OP: This is what you get when posting a comment on fauna, you get the fan-club of someone chiming in without any logic. While I admit that everyone is entitled to their opinion but common sense shouldnt be left out of it.



Speaking of logic and common sense, you completely lack any in this case. I never reply to these threads, but i do read them so i wont get the shaft from people, kinda like googling a company's name and scam together before you buy from them and give them your cc info. How in the world is Repti Racks supposed to give a refund to someone who transferred his order to someone else, that makes absolutely no sense. I have to say that you and the OP are totally wrong and should just let ReptiRacks get on with their business.

Trying to inaccurtely simplify the matter by comparing it to a petstore doesn't even make sense, just as telling them to issue a refund doesn't make any sense either:rolleyes: A Contract as you so put it is a legal document required by law to protect both parties when completing any transaction, don't see your point on that either man... I wish the world was really that simple where contracts weren't needed, but unfortunately its a doggy dog world and many shady people out their trying to steal what others work so hard to aquire. I just hate to see a person slander another person or company with absolutely no proof and accusing members of having no common sense, when they can't even manage to form a decent argument. As simply as another member said earlier seems like alot of childish ranting going back and forth mainly from you and the op. To the OP, if you are friends with Nick on FB, than I'm sure when he receives his rack you will know, don't see why you need tracking #.. This thread has no basis and should really be deleted.

nick is not one to keep contact i tried several times to get in contact with nick and was only in contact with him once upon this week,before i did this sale with nick and repti racks we both agreed me and repti racks that we both will follow through this entire transaction so that nick gets everything i paid for and i will get the tracking number when it goes to nick and repti racks refuses now

and no the thread should not be closed because repti racks does bad business to begin with,there lies and lead times which are false.had reptiracks shipped me my cage on time like they promised this topic would never be here


why is it that every person i dealt with so far i had yet to run into a shipping problem but of course with repti racks who is known for it i ran into one,i gave him the benefit of the doubt but got screwed over.

I see no proof of this... And dude i dont know where you live, but companies don't give partial refunds to customers who make side transactions on their products, your are being unreasonable. This is Nick's problem, he should have ordered it himself, I have a hard time getting what i paid for when i order it myself, let alone if i had someone else do it for me. Delay's are nothing new, if you would of did research you would of known that this happens with not only them, but many other companies. Really man, go have a drink, smoke something or do whatever it is that you do and just sit back and think of this from a logical perspective. You sound very young and your arguments really have no basis, im always on the side of the customer, but I see nothing here that warrants this thread.

every time i spoke to repti racks i called them, any other time it was through email for info on the caging size etc or minor changes which i still have stored.

delays happen which i understand but from july 13 all the way to the end of sept?i think not sir.i could understand a week or two maybe 3 but not that long,even when i sold it to nick it was still not built and not even sure when he finished the cage or if it was done.

once again this thread does serve a purpose another unhappy customer from this company,maybe they should not make promises to customers and up there lead times another 2-3 months

i have already made up my mind to go through the process of the charge back my mind is set on it,ill be refunding nick when the refund is final which takes 60 days or so i believe.
 
So even though Nick and Repti-Racks were in communication together and working out the details, both moving along with the deal:

Nick don't want a refund he wants the cage he bought from you which is being sent to him now and is baffeled why you thinking it should go to you for you to re sell it and was far from his mind i was told when talking to him which took over a month for him to get back with me after many e-mails i sent to him for a shipping address and confirm. quote from nick "my computer was not working and i forgot about it with the new baby" . I don't have to prove anything to you. its between me and nick who just got in contact with me mon and its going to him.

you decided to go ahead and charge back against repti-racks? So basically YOU are now ripping them off?
Unbelievable!
:ack2:

Ill refund nick when the charge back is complete maybe this will teach repti racks to treat customers better

A logical perspective??? This KIDS logic compass is so fu**ed up it amazes me he can find his car in a parking lot. This is a shady twist on a scam... At best. He sold (at this point, a phantom because none of us have heard from him) Nick So-and-so a cage which he never had possession of nor had ever even SEEN and is now speaking entirely on Nick's and his own behalf (because Alamando is such a stand-up dude) <~~~ sarcasm-- in trying to prove that he is entitled to a refund for something he never actually had, and worse... He sold to someone else... Hey Alamando, you and Jabari Walters.... 2 peas in a pod in my book. Move along cause this ain't your f***in business and you and I and EVERYONE else here knows it.
 
So i guess repti racks is 100 percent right for what he does to customers hmm

This is a business do business right!
 
Brand you should def re word your sig bro obviously you condone the business practice of repti racks,
 
ill do one even better,if the charge back is final ill glady take that 313.00 and buy nick a cage at any price be 313.00 or less as i said i don't need the money but ill be dammed if repti racks treat customers the way they do and think they can get away with it.
 
1: I am not your "bro"
2. Do not think for a second I would EVER take advice from you.
3: LEARN HOW TO SPELL... not that it really matters because you have already shown all of us here that you received an F on your last IQ test but it doesn't help your situation any that you type in that manner... Food for thought. :thumbsup:

cool story man =)
 
i just find it funny how i am in the wrong here

i paid 313.00 for a cage got delayed for weeks and weeks into months

forced to sell it to buy a new one to home my dragon that was out growing his viv,if i didn't i would have the dragon comity on bd.org saying omg you are an animal abuser get him out that small 10 gallon!

before buying the new viv i clearly asked for a refund or partial refund as i was forced to buy a critter condo which i am glad i did,made agreements with repti racks to follow through the entire transaction tracking and all.

sold to nick,nick contacts repti racks making arrangements ,they tried to rip him off and charge him more for a 4ft when it was already paid off for

yea sounds like a good seller you go repti racks you sure are legit bro!

but enjoy speaking to chase and giving your side of the story and providing proof of tracking as i don't live in VA.i live in nyc so at the end of the day i was the purchaser we never had a formal contract that it would be sold to nick,so explain that one.this is my last response and i still stand by everything, repti racks is horrid to deal with,i tried to be nice since july but they are a class act scam artist when it comes to selling cages.
 
Exactly why this makes you look so bad - I'm not defending Repti-Racks, but the appearance (esp given your history) is that your intention was to screw them over. It really sounds like you'd have done this even if they'd have shipped the cage to Nick.
