    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....

I purchased a dragon from dev1283 name Devin Kanhai asked to ship on thursday the 8th of July so I could get a cage ready. Well it has been over a week since he was supposed to ship. He would keep saying it will go out tomorrow. So I stayed home everyday from work until 10:30 never came. I have tried contacting him no response. I paid for the dragon on July 6th it is now July 17th and still no dragon
 
Sorry to hear about what happened. Do you have any emails to help support your claim? If you do, can you post them up here. Good luck.
 
I know where he is, and who he is. I think he's gotten a new number recently.... best bet would be to email him directly, i haven't spoken to him in a couple weeks...sorry though..he should get it together.
 
So sorry to hear about your situation.. If you check out his profile it says that his last visit was on the 10th. Seems to me as if he's missing in action which may be to something going wrong on his end!

Any E-mails or evidence between the two of you would help... when was your last contact with him? Just wondering cause he seemed to be in good standing here.
 
Here are the emails, How are you able to put the pm up on site? And I will put the texts up as well

Sounds great [email protected] call me 5612819138
 
Thanks for posting the PMs and E-mails.. sounds fishy to me! Gotta wonder what's going on with him. If his sister did drop the package off then there is no way of knowing except by receipt or tracking number that the animal was actually shipped. Has anyone heard from Devin?? This is why you never trust someone else to ship for you. Take the responsibility on yourself that way YOU know it's on it's way and you aren't depending on someone else to do so. Hope you can get your dragon or your money back. If you payed through Paypal you shouldn't have an issue getting the payment reversed and it would freeze up his account so he can't do this to someone else.
 
I have known Devin for a while now and have traded with him a lot. He is and has always been very trustworthy and professional.
Something has to be up for him to not make sure your dragon arrived and your happy.
Worries me because this is not like him at all. I will try and contact him. I am sure he will make it right.
 
I know devin and have done business with him many times. I have never had a problem. I tried calling him about this post and for some reason I cant get in contact with him. Im sure he will make this right once somebody gets a hold of him and he knows about the thread or your problem.

For all that anybody knows the dragon might have been caught up in the fedex or ups facility and is on the way there now. Just would have to sleep thorugh the weekend now...
 
The only problem with that if it is caught up in fed-ex or ups why would he not call me or email me to explain what is happening. He has my phone #. I have had to go into work late everyday last week waiting to see if it was going to show up. So I pretty much lost a days work waiting for this dragon.
 
I received my money back from paypal after the dispute time frame ended in which he still did not respond. I would recommend not to do business with this guy. But thank paypal for being such a great company
