I am not terribly familiar with how to post on this site. I am attempting to find out if anyone knows how I can resolve and issue with a guy named Cody. His screen name is cmkx80kid.
He sells American Alligators. He actually contacted me via aol and convinced me to send him a money order. He said that he had three larger sized American Alligators and that if I would send him money via paypal he would ship one to me overnight.
Three days later I found out from him that he did not overnight it. he packaged the poor thing in a thin box that had once been a Reebok box. It was not even the reinforced normal thickness of shoe boxes. When the USPS arrived the box was completely smashed. I opened it and of course it was dead. It was approximately 6" long and he had simply wrapped newspaper around it. He used clear tape and threw dropped it off to be mailed.
I am afraid I have little recourse. I contacted him immediately and he said he would sell me another one at his cost of $85. (I had sent him $120 the first time). He then ignored my questions as to why he sent it in such a manner. He ships out of Indianapolis. He refused to refund my money. I am more concerned that he will continue to ship without regard to the health of the reptiles.
I live in California- I know shipping them out here is not allowed so can't do anything. Please know, however, that he is a dishonest, cruel person that shouldn't be dealing with live animals. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE! I asked him to credit my paypal and he refused.
