    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 Edward Haste will not refund money for my DOA Bearded Dragon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fedex and UPS both do not insure live animals it goes against their tos. If they did everyone and their mother would insure an animal for 2-3 times what its worth and just say it died.
Thats what I said too!

I agreed with you 100% after his first post.:thumbsup:
 
I really don't think he will have to worry about shipping to often after this. What is really sad about this whole situation is that the op is out her daughters birthday gift and the seller doesn't realize that by not refunding the money he is losing out way more than the purchase price of this particular animal.

Do The Right Thing!! Buck Up and Refund the Money!!

Customer Service and Animal Safety and Concern... This is what you should be worried about right now!!!

An animal that dies on a d.o.a. is nobody's fault (unless improperly packed) but any good business person would never leave you were you left Renae.:nonod:

A couple of things come to mind from this post - first, I've been curious - what heat pack was used?
You only give a guarantee if one as requested? Sad.
And you have the nerve to say she should be a better shopper? That pretty much makes you an :censored:, and I feel pretty secure in saying you've lost a bunch of potential customers. Sure, it SHOULD have been there in one day, but it wasn't. That may not have been your fault (aside from not being aware of conditions), but that doesn't relieve you of your responsibility to your customer. You owe her a refund.

It's pretty simple - if you aren't willing to guarantee live arrival outside of a certain temp range...don't ship outside of that range. And if you are going to hide behind as statement of carrier delay or error, then maybe more people should rethink their purchases (as you said, be better buyers).

Well said Harold

Also every purchase that someone makes should be offered the same guarantee every time. they should have not have to ask for anything.

IMO no matter your breeding and selling or buying and selling. i think alot of sellers need to learn how to operate with good business practices.
 
edhastereptiles said:
i have done guarantees in the past and yes if she had asked for one i would have given one.?so i should use longer paks and she should be a better shopper.

Wow you are a piece of work so she has to ask for a live arrival guarantee in order to be given one dude that should be a given that she would want one. i know i wont be sending you any animals or any cash in the future.:D
 
Renae,

Since you paid the shipping from your FedEx account have you contacted FedEx and requested a shipping charge refund???? Since you paid for "Priority Overnight" and the animal was not delivered over night. I know that won't cover the cost of the animal but at least it will get you some money back. I live in the OP's same city and yes there were some nasty storms here but nothing that kept packages from being sent or delivered ON TIME. I would be having a nasty conversation with FedEx.

BUT that still does not detract from what you've done Mr Ed, you a$$! What kind of seller ships a package and doesn't track it? What kind of seller spends the money before really ensuring the deal is DONE and everything truly is 'ok'? What kind of seller knows the temps are low and still uses a 24 hour heat pack??? A cheap, scammer of a seller!!! I don't even deal in dragons but now will never deal with you and will warn my good friend who do deal in dragons to be sure to stear CLEAR of you. Refund this gals money OR send her dragons of equal value. AND SHIP THEM PROPERLY!

I'm so sorry Renae. I truly am. I hope Mr Ed man's up and either refunds you OR send you dragons to equate what you spent.
 
edhastereptiles said:
so the whole deal aside,i dont have another dragon to replace it with or the cash so i cant send what i dont have.

Which is why DONT SELL anything.

If you sell something DO NOT spend the money till after they arrived and your guarantee has been met.

I offer 3 day health guarantee there for i will not touch the money for 1 week after its sent.
 
I'm willing to take payments. I have never had this happen to me before. I was very excited to get her and was very bummed when I opened the box. It was a great loss on the beardies behalf.

Ed,
She is willing to accept payments so work something out with her and do the right thing. I bet she will work with you on the payments for a little while since you do not have the money right now.

Wow...I am swearing off buying anything from anyone name Ed!!..I feel sorry for Ranea...This man clearly dosnt care about any of this..If you dont have the money,you need to give her some off your next sales..I am sure I left waste in the toilet that had more respect then you do...Its so easy for people to avoid making it worse on themselves..Clealy this dude just isnt smart enough to see that...

So explain your situation to her. as you can see she is being very understanding about your situation. So be a good business person and find a way to square the deal...

Ed, while I understand your dilemna that you dont have the money to refund or have an animal to replace it with. But, you cannot blame shipping on her being that YOU shipped it with those temps. It was entirely YOUR choice to ship out the animal, not hers. Even if she demanded that you ship, you still could have said no.

I will give my experience. I bought a lot of boas in January, paid in full upfront. The guarantees were weather-based and if I wanted them sooner, which I did, I would not get the guarantee. I chose to wait and get them when I would have a health guarantee and I received them today. Honestly, if I told him that I wanted them in January, he probably would have refunded my money to me and told me kiss his :censored:

Ultimately, when we sell, we are the ones who have to make sure that the customer receives their item in a condition suitable. If you breed, offer them credit towards something later on. If not, work out some sort of payment schedule with them to refund them the money. Just put yourself in their shoes and see how you feel walking in them.
