Any chance the heat pack caused the issue with Male #4?

Mark, do you pack all of these shipments yourself?

i was asking him that too, but he told me all heat packs were taped to the lids of styrofoam box,

then i asked myself how do the heat pack is under the cotton bag, so im a liar or he is a liar ? :iagree:
 
Tuan, where did you get the impression he offered a health guarantee?

NOT saying Mark/Tom is in the right, BUT note to all: get TOS and written terms BEFORE entering into a deal!!!!!
 
Here's what happened..Tuan P. purchased 4.4 impressa from me. My packing/shipping was perfect. 4 tropical fish styros, containing 2 tortoises per. Each tortoise in it's own cloth bag with newspaper. Newspaper used to as packing around each tortoise in each styro. 1- 40 hour heat pack taped to inside of each styro lid. Small ventilation holes in each styro. These 4 boxes were put into a "quad" cardboard box, designed specifically for holding 4 styros. Several small ventilation holes punched in cardboard to allow air exchange. Temp in NY that day was in the high 30's, low 40's F..Shipped Delta Dash, Ft. Lauderdale to La Guardia on 11/29/13. Box arrives in NY 4:30 pm. Tuan picks up at 5:03 pm. 7:30 pm he either calls or texts (perhaps both) and claims 1 female DOA. And 1 looking "sick". I ask for photo of DOA female. And advise him to soak the "sick" one and keep me informed. After receiving pics of the DOA, I refund his $, plus $30 so he can ship DOA back to me. No word on the "sick " tortoise until approx. 3 weeks later when he claims it died. (Dec.17) Now he wants a free replacement or full refund for the 2nd allegedly dead tortoise. My only guarantee is LIVE ARRIVAL. I can't be held responsible for the animals once they are in his care. I made a generous offer to sell him another Impressa at my landed cost (next time they come in) as a good faith gesture, even though I had no responsibility to do so, to make up for the 2nd allegedly dead tortoise..I was getting tired of explaining all of this to him over and over. I finally told him he had 24 hours to accept my offer. He declined. I recinded the offer when he sent me an email trying to trick me into agreeing to send him a FREE tortoise within 1 month (that was earlier today). My generosity has it's limits. Thanx for reading. Sincerely, Mark Thomas Jagger. Key West, Florida.
 
Yes I packed the Impressa personally. All looked 8 in good health as I packed them. Had I thought any looked questionable, I would have contacted the buyer. I don't knowingly ship sick specimens. I definately wouldn't send dead ones out..as he claims the DOA had been dead for days !

So you were notified and agreed with the buyer that the second tort in question was sick? He provided picture evidence of the sick tort on arrival. And all you told him was to soak it??

It then expires and you say it's not your problem?
 
hi Mark , you are a good liar @@ , check it above the second picture that i claimed him on monday Dec.16 , and the tortoise died last night is Dec.15 . How can you say Nov.29 till Dec.15 is after 3 weeks ?
shipped a sick tortoise than with no responding , doing good business Mark @@
 
I've seen 'Live Arrival Only' in several places. I don't personally agree with the policy, but I am not sure Mark didn't honor his terms.
 
will you pay money for a sick tortoise or die tortoise ?
will you pay for a damage car or tv , etc with the regular price?
will you ?

i have to say no
 
I see the seller is reading now. Maybe he'll respond?

Seller you were told by the buyer that the second tort in question ARRIVED SICK.

How do you intend on rectifying that?

Are we all to believe you ship sick reptiles and then say "Well, it arrived barely alive and that's that!"?
 
Bobby Douglas: The pic's of that Anaconda didn't want to load into my computer for an unknown reason..technical glitch I guess> I'm re-shooting this weekend.
 
I didn't agree that the tortoise in question was sick..1 closed eye was all that showed in the picture..So I told him to give it a soak and keep me informed. WHICH HE DID NOT..Approx. 3 weeks later he claims it died. And I'm responsible?? Absolutely not. He had ample opportunity to contact me about the "health issue" but chose not to. Until it allegedly died. Bottom line: He should have rejected it upon arrival, and it would have been replaced/or $ refunded...but he chose not to. No other guarantees were expressed or implied other than LIVE ARRIVAL. End of story. As for other people guaranteeing their animals for x # of days or weeks..that's your decision..Thank to all for your opinions. Happy Holidays. MTJ
 
stop telling the untruth story Mark , you did not tell me anything except give him a soak , if yes , so you can post it up here with pictures .
and stop telling the liar after 3 weeks . it was be from Nov.29 - Dec.15 . Stop trying to make you are a good guy Mark , everyone can see now how you are running your business.
take good care with my money Mark . my quick cash will be make you honor . Good luck with your business @@

There ya go. If you're looking to buy a tortoise from an upstanding seller with a health guarantee LOOK ELSEWHERE.
