    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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 Barbie - Dubia Fraud-BUYER BEWARE

You said yourself nothing escaped I took pics before I shipped and posted them your look nothing like mine. Its just to much of a difference Justin.
 
Justin, you're losing us here. This is a forum about business practices. Don't bring it down to schoolyard bully level with "what are you gonna do?" If it's really proof, what can she do? Let me ask a different question: Do you feel you're better off, in any scenario, not posting your 100% proof? I don't think I've ever seen another BOI thread where someone claims to have proof, but won't post it until they get what they want (with the caps lock on, so everyone knows you're serious.) Just throw it out there. We're pretty smart; we'll see it for what it is.

I will not refund for what I counted and shipped myself. POST YOUR PROOF PLEASE

That's a great statement. So you counted the 1000 females, (I counted around 950)? So what about 136 DOA and another 50 in 24 hours. According to your above quote you will not take care of what you counted, yet guarantee live arrival. How does that add up? What are you going to do about that death.
 
Justin why wont you post the texts and this "proof"? I have 5 min and I have to go but I am very tired of this run arround
 
I offered a refund for the death and the ones I didn't count you didn't want it. Post everything im tired of this!!!

Pony up Princess. So far the only lie I see is you promising to post these texts and not doing it. So based on the evidence we do have you're a bully and a liar.

@ Barbie

Just go and make him post his proof at 4 pm like he claims he will.

Noelle, this is not schoolyard bulling. This is about being cheating out of a lot of money, $840 to be exact. You are correct this is a forum about business practices. So I have asked a very blunt business practice question, if I have 100 % proof, what was going to be her business practice. You can see she will not answer the question. I am justt trying to get her business practice guarantee in writing for all the forum to see.

Since I can not get her to answer the question, after asking many times, my next post will be the proof. Thanks, Justin
 
Justin why wont you post the texts and this "proof"? I have 5 min and I have to go but I am very tired of this run arround

Ok - I asked you to guarantee taking care of me. You won't even answer that simple request, because you know you made a mistake. So here we go:

Barbie and anyone else interested:

I have given you every opportunity to do the right thing. Barbie - this is not twenty bucks. It is a LOT of money you have of mine here. You expect me not to get upset when you are telling me I am lying? Seriously? Here is a fact you can NOT escape - and you did it yourself. I really hope you realize you DID make a mistake, whether intentional or not - I don't care. I HAD to post on this forum, as you had every excuse in the book not to rectify this situation you created. DO THE RIGHT THING. How can you possibly think that I would waste my time doing all of this if what I am saying is not 100% true? C'mon. I have posted proof that you only requested video of death. Of COURSE I wish I started video when the USPS driver came to my door. But who does that? It is NOT what we agreed on - and I flat out posted that for everyone to see. Stop saying it when it is false. Think about what you are saying here and how it sounds? Did I ask if you were on meth? Yes - sure did. Did I get upset when you said I must be lying? Yes - sure did. How is that relevant to you not sending me what I PAID for ? That is what you just don't seem to get. So - here is 100% PROOF. I am positive you will spin it. But there is only so much you can spin when you YOURSELF did it.

Both boxes that arrived had weights that you personally entered. Down to the OUNCE. Oops. You did this, and the weights can be verified by anyone. Anyone here can do what I just had to do - take my tracking numbers and go to the post office (don't knock these guys, they saved me here) to get this info printed out by them on their INTRANET. (see pictures). I JUST got this proof, as you can see when it was printed - otherwise I WOULD have posted it days ago. You can verify that what I am saying here is FACT, and one you finally can't escape. Any dubia breeder here will be able to EASILY see that your counts were literally not close with some simple math. We are not talking a few ounces that people can argue. Even when weights VARY a bit - ANY breeder can see that no matter how you shake it - it is nowhere NEAR what they should be. You have already openly admitted to shorting me on the smalls - a LOT of smalls. You know this to be true. You also said you yourself only packed 1000 females and 200 males and didn't pack the rest or see it get packed. Your friend must have FORGOT, as they were not there. This is also accurate - there were NO more females. Period. And with weight - you can't hide missing thousands of mediums and adults. Here is how YOU yourself will now know this to be accurate. Please correct this Barbie. As a seller to a customer - no matter how irritated you may be - now that you know this to be fact - make it right. Stop talking in circles. Stop making up stories. OWN your mistake. I paid you - you did not send me what I ordered. I HAND counted everything but smalls, and took samples of the smalls for weights in order to calculate the overall count - making it DEAD accurate as to what I received. STOP this. Correct it. Either refund me, or send me the balance of my order which is ALL I want. This time though - for God's sake - don't just use one egg crate for the adults. You CAN'T ship like that. That is why a chunk of what you did ship me for adults died.

WEIGHTS AND INFO HERE

BOX 1: Females and Males
Females: Counted day one 813 alive, 136 dead. That is a total of 949. I weighed out those females and got an average of 1.9g/female, then calculated for 949, for a weight of 1803 grams.
Males: Counted day one 143 alive, 46 dead. I weighed out 100 alive males for an average weight of 1 gram and then calculated the 189 total I had counted for 189 grams.
Add in the weight of the box and one egg crate (300 grams)

So for the Male/Female box, according to my counts I received 1803 grams in females, 189 grams of males and 300 grams for box&crate for a total of 2292 grams or 5.05 lbs or 5 lbs 0.8 ounces. So now please go to my attached shipping manifesto from USPS and see what the weight was for the male/female box. My counts were off by 0.2 ounces. If you would of shipped the entire 1850 females, this package would of weight nearly 10 lbs, not 5lbs 1oz.

Box 2: Babies, Mediums and 163 larges thrown in.
Babies: I received 3148 babies or 79.60 grams.
Mediums: I received 619 mediums for a weight of 184 grams
Larges: extra 163 for a weight of 189 grams
Box/Crate: 300 grams
Total of 752.6 grams or 1.66 lbs or 1lb 10.56 ounces.
Now please go to other shipping manifesto, (again printed out on their intranet yesterday). What was the weight of the small/med/lrg box..... 1 lb 11oz. Dam close to my account of 1 lb 10.56 ounces. If you would of shipped me 15+ babies, 2500 mediums and tossed in 163 larges, that package would of weighed close to 3.5lbs.

As you can see - I can't make this up. Not even close. I am NOT trying to bully here - but I am out over $800 dollars with a seller saying that I am the liar here? Like I said - I am sure Barbie will somehow spin this. But this weight is what SHE entered herself when she sent the boxes that anyone can verify including Barbie. And guess what - it was SPOT ON to what I got and have claimed from day one as you can see. Barbie - for the last time - TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMER HERE. I am the customer. I was 100% polite to you BEFORE you shorted me. Stop trying to turn this around. These are FACTS - simply correct the error and take care of it. What are you going to do now ?

Have you taken a well fed well watered roach, weighed it, then shipped it, weighed it again upon arrival and then the next day?

If you haven't how can you place any real value on the weights you keep tossing out? You don't know what they weighed when they were shipped. And don't try to tell me the box and its contents were weighed upon shipping, that is not reliable.
 
I still want to see the remainder of the texts. I would also like to see where she entered those weights. I see the weights but yell me how you know she entered those and they weren't put in when usps processes the package. Where is a picture of the original shipping label? Was it a print out or a hand written one?

I actually weighed the females just an hour ago for that specific reason, so they are well hydrated and fed. This gives her the benefit of the doubt.

She entered the weights herself, and not just random, but down the exact ounce. This is not a coincidence that my counts and weights from the beginning are almost spot on to what she weight. We are not talking a missing ounce or two, we are talking pounds of missing bugs!

Ill post these texts. I know the curiosity is killing you, but I'm not hiding anything and what does it matter anyways. We are talking about business, not sticks and stones will break my bones!! Yes I called her a meth addict. What does it matter, she ripped me off for almost $900.

These were shipped USPS. Math does not lie. She entered the weights herself and printed the labels herself. Thanks.

What does it matter? Seriously? You claim you were polite and professional! Now you admit to calling her a meth head.....

Here is why it really matters. You may be right about this and deserve a refund but people will judge you on how you conduct business. We aren't only concerned about who is right and who is wrong, we are also concerned with how both parties conduct themselves.

Come on Korbin. Wow, I did not know this was a popularity contest. "You may be right about this and deserve a refund but....." But what. This is business, period. I've never denied calling her a meth head. I have never denied I insulted her intelligence because the way she was talking in circles and spells. It was fine up until she told me to shove it and call paypal. If you got ripped off for almost a $1000, you would not be upset? NO?

How both parties conduct themselves? Come again Korbin. Are you really talking about the political correctness to a seller when they rip someone off for almost $1000.

Actually, he made the following claim:
jk805 said:
I will post the rest 1/4 soon, not hiding anything. And yes, the texts get more serious and a takes a different tone is taken when I realize she is going to try and stick me with this loss, and play coy with me. When you rip people off, people get really pissed off.
He clearly acknowledges that the tone changed when she refused to issue the refund he feels he deserves.

That's an easy card to play, but you only seem to be applying it to him. If he was indeed shorted to the tune that he claims, and it does appear that that's the case, an aggressive tone doesn't even remotely negate the righteousness of his claim. Would her constant denials and excuses not be worse than his choice to speculate on her possible drug use or question her general intelligence (personally, I'm with him on the latter)? Perceived rudeness is even in the same ballpark as dishonest business practices? Really?

Here are the rest of the text in there entirety. Continuing from post #50

Again nothing to hide. Read through all the text. I have stayed consistant through all my statements in text, forum, and video and has now been backed up via the USPS weights and my weights for what I received. Sorry, it doesn't matter what your opinion of calling names is, MATH does not lie.
