I'm still hoping "Jose" has cleaned up his act and intends to ship me perfectly good animals, and then I will post a glowing report on his reputation.
There is really nothing else I can do at this point. I just checked the tracking number on the confirmation for the money order I sent, and it looks like he has not even recieved my money order yet. I told him he would recieve it Friday or Saturday so he may be feeling nervous as well. Here is the tracking number on the envelope I sent the Money Order in (As long as this deal is all out in the open here, I just want to make sure HE knows I'm not trying to rip him either).......I firmly stand behind my word.....I said I would send the money order Thursday, and I did.

At this time (7:05pm PST) it says "Your item was accepted at 11:01 am on April 17, 2003 in CORONA, CA 92878. Status is updated every evening. Please check again later. "
So I guess the money order did not get to him yet, he should get it Monday I imagine. He has promiced me he will ship the snakes the day after he recieves the money order, and that he will NOT use USPS to ship them. (I expect them properly packaged as well Jose, you know that right?)
In the mean time there is nothing else I can do, but pray that the Jose is on the up and up, and enjoy my holiday tomarrow. Once "Jose" has the money order, I expect shipment. I am trying really hard here not to have a fit about this, I informed Jose more than once that I was nervous about this deal...........and you can bet I'll throw a ROYAL hissy fit if this deal goes bad.............in the mean time....lets just hope for the best, as there is no other option now.
Thanks for trying to look out for me guys, but at this point it is too late for me to back out of the deal, and "Jose" has not been given a chance to prove himself a "Good guy" or not. I know the e-mail addy is suspicious (Yeah!) but there is nothing to do but wait for now.
