    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....

Paid for a snake on June 4th... Haven't received it yet. Brian said there was an emergency that kept him from shipping. So, I said it was no problem and gave him some more time. Brian kept telling me " sorry, next Monday, next Monday, next Monday, etc..." Never received a shipping notice on any of those Mondays. Nor have I received the animal. He is no longer responding to my emails or messages.:shrug01:

I sent him an email notifying him of this thread using his email contact over on Cornsnakes.com. I hope he will show up here and then send you your snake, that's a lot of Mondays gone by.
Did he mention the nature of his emergency?
 
Cyphyrys said:
Yes he did. Out of respect I would like to keep it confidential. Thus I have not posted the email/messages on here. IF need be I will.

I respect that, but if you are going to post a Bad Guy thread, whether people choose to agree with your judgment of him may hinge on WHY he did not send your snake. If it was a genuine emergency or illness or so on, perhaps a refund request is in order, if he is well enough to take care of that.
 
Here are the emails/messages. I tried to be as understanding as I could be, and try not to bother him. But, a little more contact would have been very appreciated.

Still would be interested in that snow stripe female. How much would she be shipped to WI. 53090?
Thanks a bunch, also could I see a pic of her if possible.

Shipping to you is almost $45, so I'll let her go for $140 shipped to your door. I am Fed Ex certified as well. This pic is the only picture I have on my phone, and its from a month ago. I'm going to feed them all tonight, so I'll snap another picture for you. She's a solid feeder and has been feeding on Chicks and large mice.

nice, I'll take her... do you take paypal? if so, what email should I send payment to?
Thanks!
Click to expand...

Yep, I do. [email protected]. I would like to wait for her to pass her meal so I can get her shipped off after she passes her meal, so probably next Monday.

Alrighty, I'll be sending the payment now, n' plan to receive her around tuesday'ISH. Thanks again

Perfect sounds good. I received your payment. I'll get her sent out on Monday and will email you with the tracking number after.

Hello, Just contacting you in regards to shipping that snow stripe female.
Have a good one

Sorry about the delay. I had a death in the family and had to leave the state. I'm sorry for not reaching out to you earlier. I fed them all again last night when I got back in. I will ship her out next Monday to ensure she gets there on time. I can throw in an Amel yearling if you're interested. I believe its a female.

That will work just fine. I will plan to be receiving her Tuesday. SO sorry for your loss.

Perfect. I'll send you the tracking number after I get her out

Hello, just curious as to whether you got that snow stripe female shipped?
Click to expand...

Not yet sorry about the delay. I've been all over the place these last few weeks between the death, work and everything going on. I'll get it out to you this week.
Click to expand...

I am sorry to say this, but, if she isn't shipped on Monday the 15th I would like my $140 refunded. just has been a long wait with too little contact, or updates. It's not how I usually prefer to do business.

I am very sorry for your loss, and hope things settle down for you,

This is such a delicate situation. A death in the family certainly can cause delays and that is understandable.
But it is my opinion that after a few weeks, it would take only a moment for someone to process a refund if he felt that he was not up to shipping, especially if he was able to email you to say that the delay be excused, which means he was somewhere that he had the computer access needed to arrange the refund.
 
It just amazes me how many deaths there are everytime someone is suppose the ship and animal that has been paid for! They have time to feed animals that can go months without eating,but they can't ship the damn thing! This has "bullshit" written all over it!:iagree:

I think that was pretty needlessly harsh. :confused:
 
Like I said, Trying to be sensitive to the hectic situation it can cause. But, it has been a while now. I would be okay waiting however long, as long as he would make contact... Not "I will ship it monday", then never receive a shipping notice, So I donno if I have to go into work late, and wait for a possible delivery, etc....
Communication would help.

Stick around here for a few more years and you will see one of the most common excuses for not shipping is a death in the family. 99.9% of the time that excuse turns out to be a lie.
 
He has refunded the money... Sucks that I didn't get the animal out of this. But, at least I got the money back. Thank you to everyone who took the time to read, give advice, and even attempted to contact him on my behalf. I really appreciate it!!!
 
Wow after all these years of being off of here, I find this pretty rude and incensitive. I've been off of here for a while.

Just FYI for everyone, my mother was dying of cancer and I was taking care of her. There was too much going on and I was rarely at home. I issued a refund, and there for this thread should be void
