    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.

    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....

Are you not still well within the time frame to file a PayPal dispute? If so, and yet you choose to continue to give him the benefit of the doubt, sympathy may be hard to come by. When you give someone a "ship or refund" date, me thinks you need to stick by your own ultimatum. Good luck.
 
He will not take "return" animals nor give refunds.Its in his disclaimer.
He is pretty well known as a dirt bag in his region(Fla.)
Long standing member I might add.
Funny how there isnt more on his shady ways ?

S**t on Him ! :rofl:

Same here but my late shipped snake was in the pillow case in a used cricket box instead of a nice, ok beat up, Styrofoam box.

Jesus mine came in a dirty used cricket box too! :ack2:
And I thought I was the only one... Must still have the same employee.. :NoNo:
 
Hey-

At least you guys actually got your animals!!! :rolleyes:

Where's mine (or at least my refund), Ray???? :shrug01: :angry:

Though I don't think I would want them at this point, considering the experiences you guys have had.......

I have sent him emails on a reg basis, asking for a refund..He finally responded some time last week, telling me that he would ship my animals on wed or thurs...I informed him I wanted a refund, not animals...I never received either, as well as receiving no reply, as usual.....

I am kind of odd this way, but the name, seems like someone is trying way too hard to look legit, but in reality, sells crap....maybe it is just me, but....

Traci,

Any news? I'm really surprised at Ray, he may have not been one of the top notch sellers in the past but these recent incidents are appalling. In fact he had ads up today.

Not sure where you got that impression ?
Ray has a LONG STANDING Negative Reputation among'st his peers.
His facility is also a direct reflection of his business practices.

In'vision the worst 20/20 Puppy Mill Documentary. . . . . The guy is a scumbag bar none. :ack2:

I have only purchased from 27 individuals over the internet and count a handful as people I want to pattern my business dealings after.
I also have my short list of 3 who I will never purchase from again regardless of how bad I want the animal and HBR is at the top of that list.
 
He sent me an email this afternoon, stating AGAIN that he would ship animals to me...To which, I AGAIN stated that I do not trust him, nor his animals and that I wanted a refund...No response, as usual....

Tom,

Which peers do you refer to? Ray has been around for a long time and aside from a few incidents here and there (comes to mind one with mites) I can't remember something like this before (outright non delivery of animals or not returning the money). :shrug01:
