Bad Guy Barry @ Blood Bank

[LauraB]

What I see here is not a bad guy seller or poor customer service. I see a bad customer.

Well the issue is not what I said its why I said it.

Unacceptable, unprofessional and downright rude and nasty emails aside, where are the photos, Paul? Show us the crappy packing, the half-dead and tiny dragons. If the issue is why you said it, then show us why you said what you said ... as if it could somehow be justified.
If your only "proof" are those emails, then you have only succeeded in proving that you are an undesireable, unreasonable and nasty little buyer.

They were a day late, true. However, you were offered a refund and given the opportunity to return the dragons you were so unhappy with.

Hopefully, no one will disrespect your wife, girlfriend, daughter, mother the same way. If they do, I expect you will think it's justified and therefore okay.

I've spoken to Barry on the phone a few times and have also exchanged emails. I've had nothing but a pleasant experience and look forward to actually obtaining a Bloodbank Dragon sometime in the future. This will in no shape or form discourage me.

This customer should be ashamed of himself and his disgusting mouth.

Paul I'm sorry you "feel" you had a bad experience. If the dragons got loose in the box they did. It happenens sometimes. You do have a right to be unhappy about it and contat them with a complaint.
However when you did send them an email it came with a major attitude even so they agreed to have you ship them back and refund your money OR give you a refund of the one you thought was going to die (sounds like it didn't). The proper response.

You didn't seem to want what you were entitled to but demanded more.

What it sounds more like to me is you were angry because the price dropped.
Thats bussiness. Prices can change daily. Being angry and rude gets you no where. Stocks go up and down everyday. Quite often the best colored dragons are sold off FIRST THEN the next step down ones may be discounted (or not) and offered for sale.
Demanding or acting like someone lied to you because they didn't except your lower offer on the dragons you wanted and later changing their prices on their remaing dragons is wrong.

Why didn't you contact them and buy the lower priced ones when they were listed instead of only demanding that they give you money back on the ones you did agree to and already recieve? You said you wanted all of them.

You were offered TWO different ways to get a refund (you didn't except either option)but YOU choose to bager or try to bully them into refunding part of the agreed on price you paid and the cost of one dragon. NOT GOOD nor exceptable. I can see why they were fed up with you.
You were never "ripped off" or lied too. YOU CHOSE not to except the refund.
Instead you stooped to name calling because you were'nt getting your way.
The only "damage" that I can see based on the emails you submitted and through you posts here is the one that has a tail kink. Thats it.

I have delt with Barry and his wife (she even called me)and they were more then kind and helpful. I was trying to buy some female translucents when they had them on special but they had run out. I had to wait and wait but they did come thru for me. They even gave me a great price on a het Hypo trans AND included a free hypo pastel female that was a surprise.
The transulents were the four week old ones hatched sometime in early Feb. They are still doing great. One is even turning into a super Trans. You can even see through the top of her head around the eyes and lots of color.

I would absolutely recommend them AND buy from them again with out hesitation.

The OP obviously has a very clear (up close and personal) view of his own colon.

Does one really think replying in such a manner would get you anywhere? I'm guessing tact is the only 4 letter word the OP doesn't have in his vocabulary.

 

[Masonexotics]

IF I have some ball python morphs for sale at price A, then several days/weeks/months/minutes later I drop the price does that entile anyone who purchased at 'price A' to a partial refund?


Really?

I had no idea that was how business works!


the people who got in early (like you) and paid top dollar (like you) will have had the choice from a greater number of animals, the better looking animals would still be there, as would the strongest feeders and the heaviest (etc etc).

It's a buyers market, you obviously thought the price was ok when you placed your order. You could have waited or gone elsewhere, just like you could have remainied professional and not abusive in your communications.


that bieng said being spoken to rudely should not remove the sellers obligations.

 

[MikeCurtin]

Just to clarify, Paul: You posted those e-mails to show that Barry is a bad guy???

Wow!

I agree... sounds like a case of a nasty buyer. I can't say that I would be as generous with someone who spoke to me like that.

On another note, I just received some beardies from bloodbank today.. and they are stunning! Not only are they more than I was hoping for, there are literally MORE than I was hoping for! They sent me an extra one!

They have been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to doing business with them again.

More postings from the blood bank puppets I see. Still adding nothing of any substance to this thread. Just hypocritical jargon and proof that Obama is not only is bailing out the scum that cant pay their mortgages but he also must be issuing laptops and air cards to welfare recipients as well. Spare me the ignorance. You shun me for cursing his wife and turn and do the exact same thing in the end of your pointless posts. You are hypocrites being controlled by a puppeteer named blood bank. Defending Blood Bank because Barry sent you an email asking you to post on his behalf? Unknowingly making yourself look uneducated and illiterate. When I was only addressing BARRY AND HIS SERVICE. Not Blood Bank their animals or Steven just BARRY! NOTE THE POST: “BARRY @ BLOOD BANK” Keep up the waste of server space anyone with any real sense of intelligence can see the unfolding of the event in the emails the fact that I cursed his wife means nothing that was only after he basically said "just forget it" Meaning he probably was going to do what? SOMETHING?? Have you not ever cursed a cashier? a clerk? a salesman? Probably not to their face but every single one of you are liars if you say that you haven’t. The difference is I will say it to anybodies face! But if you would have read I did basically apologize before hand and just asked to address it promptly! Not like the rest of the transaction had been addressed. Like not answering emails and direct questions before any of this was posted or I actually received the beardeds. Then since he didn’t like being told to do this promptly his response is just forget it! This is ok because he didn’t curse. His customer service was superb and his communication was excellent!! Hope you are able to detect the sarcasm. But if not let me spell it out so you can understand and don’t make a retarded post about it tomorrow because you really just can’t read proper English in the form of a sentence. There was no communication once I paid for my purchase. They didn’t ship when they were supposed to. They notified me the next day with a fed ex tracking number and ignored my prior email of concern. They were packed poorly. And this was all before I even cursed him once. OH and one does have a slight kink and the other is hanging on. As far as the price drop they have the right to do as they please. I agree, but it’s unethical to do so 3 days later in my opinion considering the circumstances. If that’s the kind of business you support have at it, no wonder the countries economy is in the preverbal SH.TER! PERIOD!

I don’t want a refund or anything… These are the facts plain and simple..If you don’t like them you know what you can do!

However I do want to thank the people that have contacted me privately and the ones that posted reasonable response to the thread. As I do understand not wanting to get involved because: it is what it is, Blown out of proportion due to my comments. The mark has been made. I will not be addressing any further posts because they are irrelevant and mostly mindless consumers obviously.

I now turn over the forum for the cowards and sucker punchers. Oh and by the way Barry, Steven, and whoever else hides in the little green shed remember to thank your customers for fighting your battle……… You sure do have a pretty mouth!!!!

“There is a difference between impulse and planning what you say.”
Paul, the disgustingly great and honest cursing man of the Shire Reptilia!

 

[MikeCurtin]

If you hadn't been such a prick, you might have had my support here because of the poor communication and shipping problems. The fact still remains that you were offered a refund and instead decided to be rude and insulting. Hey, Mr. Anti-Obama, take this conservative's advice: You created your situation, now deal with it.

Oh, yeah...FYI: I have one dragon (a rescue) and have never met or dealt with anyone involved with Blood Bank in any way. I breed snakes, not lizards. So much for that theory, huh?

 

[Lucille]

the fact that I cursed his wife means nothing

You don't even realize what you did, it obviously means nothing to you to curse and try to dishonor a man's wife.

It means something to many of us, who will not treat women that way.

Just hypocritical jargon and proof that Obama is not only is bailing out the scum that cant pay their mortgages but he also must be issuing laptops and air cards to welfare recipients as well.

This thread is not about President Obama. You'll need to start a new thread on him if you have had a bad transaction with him. Sorry, it's the rules.

Have you not ever cursed a cashier? a clerk? a salesman?

No, that's what little jerks and @$$holes do. Mostly by people who have never worked at a retail store or other service industry.

The difference is I will say it to anybodies face!

You didn't say it to his face. You emailed it from the safety of your own home.

I will not be addressing any further posts because they are irrelevant and mostly mindless consumers obviously.

Yes you will. Why do people always say that.

I now turn over the forum for the cowards and sucker punchers.

Like people who would make ignorant comments to another person about their loved ones. And people who send flaming emails loaded with foul language before trying to come to a reasonable compromise. This forum does seem to have a few of these people bouncing around.

WOW...

 

[Wolfy-hound]

IF you recieved dragons that were smaller than advertised, then post pictures of the proof of it.
You got emails in response offering to refund for your dragons. You are NOT entitled to money back just because the dragons went on sale AFTER you bought yours. That's not the way real life works.

I have NEVER bought a bearded dragon, don't know anyone involved, and have not cursed at a cashier or clerk. Based only on YOUR emails YOU posted, you are in the wrong. If the dragons were unsatisfactory, you could have returned them for a refund.

When you started being abusive in your emails you basically made them cut you off communication wise, which is their right. No one HAS to put up with abusive behavior from a customer.

When you further post irrational rants on wacked out topics having nothing to do with the issue, curse at the participants in the thread because they won't agree with you when you're wrong, you show your true colors. I feel sorry for the next seller you contact, unless you modify your behavior.

Have you not ever cursed a cashier? a clerk? a salesman? Probably not to their face but every single one of you are liars if you say that you haven’t.

you curse a cashier, they tell you to leave.

you get irate with a cashier, they call the cops and have you escorted.

If your temper is so insanely out of hand, you are banned from returning.

when others see you lose your temper with a cashier.. they mock you when you leave.

I have worked retail for many years now. There are always going to be those people that don't get the logic that being rude makes you FAR less likely to get what you want.

Most places will bend the rules to help someone out that is nice.. "oh we don't return those.. but, we will do it this once for you" why? because they were polite, patient, understanding, and didn't scream at us.

the jerk that throws money as us, calls us names and such.. they get nothing but the stamp of being a selfish prick.

 

[Miss Tuniwha]

And please link any photos.

If the animals are in poor size/condition, as well as the packaging job you disliked.

 

[shinezilla]

This thread is not about President Obama. You'll need to start a new thread on him if you have had a bad transaction with him. Sorry, it's the rules.

hahaha!

I already put my 2 cents in, that was just a funny statement.

 

[LauraB]

Just hypocritical jargon and proof that Obama is not only is bailing out the scum that cant pay their mortgages but he also must be issuing laptops and air cards to welfare recipients as well. Spare me the ignorance.

Hahahahahahahaha! Too funny! Just with that statement alone, your ignorance is a shining, blinding beacon!

Have you not ever cursed a cashier? a clerk? a salesman? Probably not to their face but every single one of you are liars if you say that you haven’t. The difference is I will say it to anybodies face!

Speaking only for myself; nope, I've never done that ... not publicly and not in email. The differerence is that you WILL say it to "anybodies" face. The difference is I am an adult, a professional in control of myself when in any work or business setting. The difference is you appear to be an ignorant bully who obviously is very full of himself. And uh, as pointed out ... you did it from behind your computer. Yeah, you tough.

Defending Blood Bank because Barry sent you an email asking you to post on his behalf? Unknowingly making yourself look uneducated and illiterate

No again. Don't even know the man personally. Your responses to Barry in email and in this thread are typical of someone who hasn't the ability to discuss an issue logically and rationally ... just throw out insults, make crazy, illogical and irrelevent assumptions about total strangers and then say "I'm not posting again". It's a predictable pattern with the same predictable people.
Do you actually believe your silly little insults at the posters here will hurt someone's feelings? Again, too funny! And all the while you are, to use your own words, "unkowingly making yourself look uneducated and illiterate."

They were packed poorly .... and one does have a slight kink and the other is hanging on.

Again, prove it. I did ask you once already. I'm not saying you're lying .. I just would like to see photos.

“There is a difference between impulse and planning what you say.”

LMAO! Yeah, you're right. Probably the most intelligent thing you've said. Most people with a modicum of intelligence THINK before they speak or actually put something to paper or email, especially in a business transaction. Unfortunately, it's something you proudly proclaim you do not do.
