I had a good experience from a guy I bought roaches off of Ebay. Not one was dead, all very healthy and overcount. Sorry about your bad experience.

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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.....

Addendum: 01/10/2026
=====================
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....

Johnathon, we have fully refunded you $16.02. I'm sure the package will arrive at some point. Sorry for post offices delay. Please keep the package. I'm sure your hungry animals would love to have them.

To me it always comes down to how a seller conducts himself in these situations. Simply from his posts here in his BOI thread I would be hard press to ever buy from him.
He never requested pictures in the first place, he sent the replacement package and now that there are more issues arising he is backing away from fixing this issue.
The tracking states the 2nd package has not be delivered, therefor it is in no way Jonathan's responsibility at this point. Resolution still needs to be made by the seller, losing his 2nd package to a carrier is his own problem.

Well that's good...hope to get a reply here from Jonathan confirming the refund.
Since it was supposed to be delivered on the 22nd, and today is the 24th, will the roaches really survive being delayed that long?
If this had been post #2, it would have resulted in advertising that would be hard to buy, telling the world that this seller takes charge and makes happy customers.
While it is good that it was done late rather than not at all, the intervening posts completely diminished the power of a decisive early action.

Good to hear you have refunded his money, but honestly, giving me negative karma for standing up to you and pointing out inconsistencies? Pathetic.

I can neither confirm or deny a refund, but my bank is more than likely to blame on that end. For now I'll just take Robert at his word. Thank you for refunding.
It would also be nice for you to apologize to Amanda for accusing me of posting as her thereby dragging her into this when she was only sharing her opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe it's too much to ask.

Correction, I checked my email and did get an email from PayPal stating that a refund has been issued.
Also, I didn't see Amanda's last post until after, but for real?? Robert really gave you negative karma because you agreed with me? That's total horse

Well, being as I am not a contributing member, I cant say 100% it was from him, but who else on this thread would feel the need?
Good to hear you got your money back! Like I said, check out The Roach Ranch, you wont be disappointed!

No that is not always the case. I have shipped packages that have been lost and it showed the same messages. They showed up a few days later.

That is why I said I wouldn't guarantee this being the cause but it was possible. It personally happened to me last year. I'm sure there are multiple causes for that message.

It's time to pony up
Yeah, I actually have been thinking of it... right now it is bill time, but Im thinking in a few weeks when there is some extra money I just may.

and I find it upsetting that you assumed it was DubiDeli who gave it to you without any proof yet you don't have any problem "Raking him over the coals" for his earlier assumption about you.

Alright now...the issue at hand has been resolved. Thank you to all who posted and helped us to reach a reasonable resolution.

Is this the first time you have purchased 1/4" dubia
Momma I’m real hungry, pass another roach on my plate
Son she said sadly, you’re going to have to wait
They were shipped by weight not number, and dead, the cupboard now is bare
But Momma I am hungry, it really isn’t fair!
Son some folks think no nevermind bout not sending what we need
They aren’t concerned with lizard tots, just look around and read
So all you guys that have lizard families please treat them all with care
Pick companies that ship good bugs so cupboards won’t be bare.

I am a breeder, seller, and buyer and my opinion (from experience) on this situation is that the seller was completely fair. Unfortunately, you simply cannot make every customer happy. I don't think either party is wrong andthis does not in anyway change my opinion of dubideli, even though I have never purchased from him (I think).
