Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Inquiry: Matt at MGReptiles
Not sure where else to go with this. Here are the details:
Last week of July - Matt and I play phone tag trying to get together so that I could place an order.
~July 30th - Spoke with Matt a few times and placed an order for 75 feet of 11 inch flexwatt and 2 Johnson controls with strips. Total price with shipping $436.45. Matt was informed that I would be paying via Paypal first thing Monday, August 1st.
August 1st, 8:40 am - Sent payment via Paypal per Matt's invoice. Paypal transaction id - 7X068592YP046XXXX.
August 1st afternoon - Left voicemail for Matt to call me and let me know an anticipated time to expect delivery. It really did not matter to me if it was a week or 3 weeks. I simply needed a timeframe in which to anticipate delivery so that I could arrange my work schedule to install the tape/controllers.
August 3rd - Sent email to Matt requesting the above. I also left a voicemail.
August 4th - Left voicemail
August 5th - Left voicemail
August 6th - Left voicemail
August 7th - Left voicemail
The voicemails I left were simply, Hey Matt, this is Bob Woodard, can you please either email me or call me and let me know when I can anticipate delivery. Not verbatim but close.
Over the past few days I have seen where ads have been placed on behalf of MGReptiles and that he has been logged into Fauna on several occassions. Shrap indicated that he had received an email from Matt a few days ago so I know he is reading emails.
I am giving Matt 100% of the benefit of the doubt and simply would like to know an anticipated shipment date. Per his answering machine, "please leave a message and we will get back with you by the next business day." It's been 5 business days and nothing as of yet.
Does anyone know if he has been incapacitated or on vacation? His reputation is stellar hence the reason why I chose to purchase from him so any help you or Matt can give me is greatly appreciated.

Matt has repeatedly stated in snakes he had for sale on KS that he was raising money to go out on vacation.

Above is what I was referring to. It is very likely that if you left messages in his answering machine he might not be getting them. If he is on vacation he might check his e-mail, although that doesn't necessarily mean he will be able (or willing) to run his business. After all vacation is defined as: A fixed period of holidays, especially one during which a school, court, or business suspends activities.  Knowing him and his track record I wouldn't be concerned though.
Regards.

To be honest my concern was more for him. I know his track record and it was out of character for him.

Hello I am here(sorta). My Grandmother just found out she has cancer and she had to have an emergency mastectomy.. I have been out of the office tending to her and the rest of the family(out of state. I have been wiring to tend to the emails and have a family friend filling the orders for small things. I will not let anyone but myself do the thermostats as they have to be wired by hand. I am going on vacation on the 13-25 of August.. Sorry for the delays... Please pray for me and my family.. I truly apprecate the concern.
