Buyer responsible??????

I Have purchased a lot of reptiles on line and at shows and stores and in my opinion it is the sellers responsibilty to deliver a healthy animal to the buyer not for the seller to say "hey, I have a reptile for sale but its your responsibility to get it from me to you at your risk so I can profit off of a sale to you". I dont know many people that would buy reptiles online if that were the case.
If the seller packs the animals well and uses a shipper with a good reputation then the seller should have no need for that kind of "clause" in thier business policies.
I think that kind of thing is reserved for people that throw a animal into a box, tape it up, set it outside for the delivery man to pick it up and move on to the next sucker.

This is my opinion on this subject.
