    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....

I was posting as Chris was writing his. Yeah, the dead example photo does have a cloudy eye. Hmm........

yes, look closely at jims comparison posting as well. :)

I knew posting photographs would do the trick, I just was surprised that some folks overlooked these facts and went another direction.

such is life, perhaps I may even get an apology out of the deal. who knows....

lol, well Chris, in all sincerity after I've had a chance to sit back and look at all of the facts my perspective on the issue has changed considerably (about 180 degrees to be honest). I have to agree the pics taken of a pefectly sound box, the appearance of the animals being alive and not deceased, and having animals shipped when they're such a short distance away seem hokey to me at best. One more thing is the "live and learn attitude" of the customer. It seems they really aren't all that upset if they're willing to eat a loss of over $500 that easily. Kind of makes me think they didn't lose anything if you get the gist.
I get upset when anyone tries to use TOS to justify "stiffing" a customer. In this situation, however, I don't think this is the case at all. Frankly, I think I'd question everything in exactly the same manner as you have. Now please excuse me while I wipe this egg off my face LMAO. :bolt01:

thanks Greg, that means alot. I wish I could have been more forward with my thoughts on this manner. I hope you can understand why I was prohibited from doing so..... My attorneys are probably still cringing as we speak however if they have read my statements here. lol :rofl:

I couldnt help myself though, you guys would not take the bait and do it on your own. lol

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I am Chuck Norris. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I agree that this matter is a done deal. I doubt that you will hear from these folks again. I read the thread over on that other forum (had to register there just to do so). I wonder if they were deleted after the moderator checked the IP. :>poke2<:
 
I have to agree with Chris on this one. This entire thing smells like a scam to me. The photos of the unopened box is one thing, but who in their right mind would put an animal through the stress of shipping when they only live 30 miles away??

I drove six hours to pick up a BP - not because I wanted to save on shipping, but because I was interested in the actually seeing the breeders other stock, and thought it would be better for the snake.

Just my 2 cents...

who knows, either that or the traffic from here was unwelcome. I know my signature there was removed and replaced with something like "removed since you are competition - management"

go figure.... :rofl:

all I know is that customer cried and whined, threatened legal action QUICKLY, and our immediate response to those words in ANY case, whether we would come through on a claim or not, right or wrong, would be to send it down the line to our attorney. even if we were 110% in the wrong, soon as a customer states that, they get to deal with them. just our policy..... we dont take legal matters with a grain of salt as some do..

regardless, you guys have pretty much stated all I would say myself. my own opinions and beliefs regarding this issue... the very same.

I have also since requested to pick up or receive the doa animals, and never received a response. I wonder why.

anyways, thank you for finally "catching on" guys..... I should have just said screw it, posted the scammer thread, and ignored the wished of our attorney but I guess they have their reasons even though they seem asinine to me...
 
my requests, numerous, were also IGNORED when asking to confirm that users IP

probably another reason why he failed to visit another forum.... again, who knows. im confident in any case my actions in this matter were sufficient.
 
so... justin...... care to say anything? or shall I take your silence as an apology as well?

*shrug*
 
Chris,

This is exactly why I try not to "jump in" on these threads. Sometimes setting back, taking it all in, and THEN formulating an opinion is a far better path.

For the record, I also agree that once someone threatens legal action, your best bet is to stop talking about it and see if legal counsel becomes necessary.

Dang, there goes 2 more of my cents...

Scott
 
better watch it, we may break a quarter! lol

thanks alot Scott. your input in the end was very much appreciated!
 
Heh. Well, if some "new breeder" out of Depew, NY starts trying to sell GTPs in a couple of years, I won't be buying...
 
lol, thats quite alright. I feel the need to pay someone a visit shortly...... I've got some mail to drop off tonite, perhaps sooner than we think.

I resolved his IP address... yes... he's in Iraq...

secondly, you may want to take a look at the updated fedex policy regarding home deliveries:

FedEx Express Residential Delivery Signature Policy Change

FedEx is changing the signature policy for FedEx Express® shipments to residences.


Beginning in fall 2005, FedEx will no longer require a signature for express shipments delivered to residences. This change will make our FedEx Express residential delivery policy consistent with our policy for FedEx Ground® and FedEx Home Delivery® shipments. If a signature is needed for a residential shipment, shippers must choose one of the new FedEx Delivery Signature Options.

It is very well possible that he did NOT have a signature waiver on file.

Here is the response I just got from a mod over at the other forum....

He's still in iraq apparently, but it does not excuse his fiance or a joint effort to scam.

Also, regarding the comment about the waiver, it was confirmed directly that this customer did have a waiver in place, and no call was made to remove it.
 
so... justin...... care to say anything? or shall I take your silence as an apology as well?

:rofl:
I owe you no apologies, I call em as I see em, in this case the facts came out as the thread developed. This is why we have the BOI. Don't forget you are the one who started throwing insults around for me disagreeing with you. Not the other way around.
 
Telling you to read and refrain from forcing me to repeat what was already stated is no insult, unless this happens to you often. I had to repeat what was said countless times just for you..... And stating you were having a problem grasping these facts was no insult either.

Regardless, I'll remember this. No worries.

Have a splendid day.

oh, and i'd like to apologize to justin as well...... your heart and mind were in the right place, I was just a bit aggrivated that I was unable to speak on full detail regarding this matter and more time was spent on other issues rather than obvious facts I was hoping would be caught sooner. I guess I expected a partial beating just like any BOI post, but i figured someone would catch the right train of thought sooner than they had :)

also, lets not forget I could be the better man in this situation. take it however you like. this will be here for everyone to see for a very long time Justin. Your character is the one in question now, not mine. Have a great day :)
