    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....

dhl incomptiance in handling

Gene - I'm a little confused - in your first post you said there were 200 turtles and you got back 151 -

>>> i had to drive to panama city, 60 miles to get the turtles, they did not get back on the truck (this was at there office) so i am out a snake and she dumped turtles and all , mgr got back 151 of 200 <<<

The turtles were released at their office? Or they were put back in the box?

>> so she opened it. inside was 2bags, 1 contained 200 painted turtles,she looked at them, and put them back in the box. <<


then in your lastest post you say you have 156 out of 305 that were supposed to be in the shipment? Including 5 expensive Spotteds? And the western hog was in the same box as the 305 turtles?

>>> a little more, i thought 156 turtles was an odd # to ship,just got my farmer on the order. there was 150 midlands paints and 150 eastern paints, and 5 SPOTTEDS in the order, so looks like the whole box was dumped, i got 156 mixed paints, no spots, <<<

Call me skeptical but I can't see a DHL driver behaving this way or the company actually admiting this happened. Why would the woman just randomly open boxes and then randomly release the animals - doesn't make sense. Even if she heard a noise , in this age of heightened security awareness I doubt she would just open the boxes. Plus how much noise would bagged hatchling turtles be able to make?
 
i made a mistake, farmer bought some traps from me, and for got to add shipping, he put 100 eastren and 100 midlands in the box then put another handfull in to cover the shipping bal on traps. he said 25 or so, exact is unknown, but it wAs 200 plus
not 300, i got my story on what happened from terminal mgr at dhl, but turtles must have been dumped with tyhe snake, when i got there they were in a bucket, not in there box, i got 157, 6 of these were dead, and all but 24 of they bal have since died, no info on spots
dhl has agreed it was their fault (driver) and are going to pay the claim, no questions asked
