    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 coldbloodedreptilelover ripped me off and is selling the snake i sent him!!!!

Alright so I'm with Dylan right now does anyone no the usual delivery time for ups and USPS?
Click to expand...

UPS depends on what service was used. It could be by 10:30am or end of day.
I doubt he would spring for the morning delivery.

USPS is usually by 5pm.

I still think nothing was sent and this guy is a complete liar.
On the off chance he did send the snake, I do not hold much hope for it to actually be alive when it arrives.
Who knows. He may have sent a completely different snake (bogus het BP for example).
This guy cannot be trusted. Sad part is he will eventually find other people to screw over.
 
Well mark Billy whatever, said it shipped and didn't tell me which shipper he used. He changed it from ups to USPS so that why I asked cause we don't have a tracking number there fore we don't know who he shipped with or what time it will be here.
 
Well I just finished reading all 28 pages of this thread. (My eyes feel dried out and im seeing yellow dots when i blink lol)

Dylan, I hope your snake returns, and I highy recommend all the advice Focal X has given to this point if it does arrive today. But seeing that it is wednesday and already 1030, I have my doubts as well.

If it was priority overnight it should have arrived, but seems like he went the cheap method and its possible it will not arrive until 1800 or possibly tomorrow or later due to "Adverse Weather Conditions" if it is stormy weather.

You can check USPS to see if you have an expected package without a tracking #, just call the hotline, customer support, and ask to see if you are expecting a delivery to your address but lost the tracking #.

IF you do not recieve any packaging today, i would contact authorities first thing in the morning. Enough is enough and he will continue to walk all over you if you let him. I've been scammed and it sucks, but the last thing you can do is let this guy continue to abuse you.

As for everyone else in the BOI/Fauna community. I tip my hat to you all for being so very helpful to Dylan. The BOI has its good moments and its bad and its good to see how this one is looking as far as outcome.

On a side note, do we have a forum for "People to avoid business with"? maybe its time to start one right below the BOI forum? Just a suggestion it will be more useful for the newcommers and help recognize those who slip through the cracks. Might have to be a locked forum and only mods can place names on it because it would probably be abused with name calling lol, but it would be helpful none the less.

Good Luck Dylan! Wish I lived in MA to "Assure" you get your animal back.

Until you prove otherwise, there is no reason for us to think you are not. I don't know if you've noticed, but your word doesn't go far here.

With no tracking number (or proof it really shipped) it's hard to make a guess at when it might get there. Best plan on hanging out all day.

I really do feel bad for you guys and the snake.
 
I can't wait to see if this snake really shows up. I wonder what is going to happen to this mark, william billy bob joe guy because this is seriously beyond ridiculous at this point. This guy probably lives to scam underaged kids because it seems so "easy" well obviously not for mark. This guy has dug himself a hole that is about 50' deep by now with all the lies that he has told.

Dylan like I said before, I wish you the best of luck and don't forget to video tape him delivering the snake and unpacking the snake!! I hope your snake makes it to you safe and I know I'm not the only one who hopes that! Keep us updated please! Good luck!!

Normally here in my area anything shipped overnight by USPS is here by 10:30am to 11am on a bad day. But UPS sometimes run late but never past 4pm.

I really hope he shipped the snake so this nonsense can be over.

Well I guess the snake has either been sent or hasn't so I have a few questions. Let's start with your name on this account. Then why did you "coldbloodedreptilelover" accept a money order and cash it from another user in the name of William Brier if it isn't you?


Dylan, if you do get a box besides making a video make sure you don't bring that box anywhere near your other animals. If you receive any snake please make sure it is well quarantined.

Then you wouldn't mind sending us a copy of your driver's license to verify would you? Your real one will suffice since you don't have one with the name Mark Jones.

Good job Dennis in getting that set straight!!!
 
:iagree: awesomeness right there... I am going to say that I am pretty sure the guy probably didnt ship today since he hasn't provided a tracking number or anything to Dylan... so so sad.

And to the comment about making a "do not do business with" forum, i think this is probably as close as it will get, you have to kinda do your own research on people before you do business with them and though one person may have a horrible experience with someone, another person may not.

i think you got those two backwards?

nope anytime i get something over night to me USPS has it to me no later then 11am. now UPS is a complete nightmare although some packages do come early there were times I had to go get my package because it said out for delivery for hours and hours. It could be I just have a crapy ups hub. fedex is a bit more expensive but I never have problems with them.

Yes I Agree but sometimes you have guys like this or others who create new accounts once one gets a bad rep and change their names. An offical "Bad Guy" list with whole names and addresses might help everyone catch the scammers who like to change their identity to continue scamming. I would recommend Mods be the only ones able to add/delete/modify the list though to keep it legit and not over abused by members with a grudge. Just an opinion.

So its now 1pm and still no delivery? What time does the Police Dept morning shift get on tomorrow in that location in MA? heh heh.

On a side note, GO USA WOMENS SOCCER!!!! WORLD CUP FINALS!!!!

I think the guy lied ONCE AGAIN.
Never shipped anything and is keeping the stolen snake.
