    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....

We don't know then, but according to you the buyer knew about it. I guess there is nothing in writing either about the black mamba being not the one you sent.

to your holes question ( ilearned a lesson on this) i thought they had to have ventalation that is my inexpierence and why i hired someone to help me

You will have learned a lesson when you correct the mistake. Some snakes arrived dead and should be replaced with live ones. The buyer did not pay for dead snakes. In MHO only once you correct your error you will have learned your lesson. Only then will you be ..."A Step Above The Upstate"...as you claim in your ads.
 
i will reimburse him for dead snakes!! if he sends the real ones that are dead and not substutes. it kills many many snakes a day for his research. the man that packed the snakes will be able to tell. also he is a jerk and if he will stop calling and leaving nasty voicemails and telling these lies on BOI i will make it right
but i would bet none of you believe me huh

You may not be liable for the dead snakes since you never
gave a live garauntee, but you ARE liable for the snakes that were missing
in the order. Take your pick.
Kevin

this is a written email from kevin
good enough?
 
What I don't get is why are you willing to reimburse him for the dead snakes if he agreed to the "no live arrival guarantee".
 
That answers my question. The only thing left now is for Kevin to confirm this. So what you are saying here is that you owe him just a puff adder, right?
 
ALAN
DO NOT TELL me not to make judgements on you when you do of me. you are a honest guy yea right honest and good people do not put the following statements


from kevin post


me add I DONT HAVE MY FACE IN THE NEWS FOR SCREWING CUSTOMERS OVER so i could care less if i like you or not

had that from your failed construction buisness IMHO
to me its a weak story Ken
 
i do not owe him a puff adder since we agreed on the extra snakes i sent him would make up for it and i also do not have one if i did i would have shipped it
 
ken (kevins buyer) just phoned me said B***** and hung up see what i mean by i am dealing with liars and cruel people
 
i do not owe him a puff adder since we agreed on the extra snakes i sent him would make up for it and i also do not have one if i did i would have shipped it

Now you have me completely confused. A few replies ago you were going to reimburse him for the dead snakes. Then you were going to replace just the missing snake (according to you just the puff adder). Now you are not reimbursing/replacing anything because he agreed to accept the extra snakes instead. Just remember ...A Step Above The Upstate..., those are your words.
 
i do not mind refunding the money to be a step above the upstate but the deal was not to, while we are talking they call me cuss me and hang up, etc.. what would you do
 
simple

do what you think is the RIGHT thing to do to make someone happy if its refunding the money so that you then know they got a fair shake do it
if you think because they cuss you it makes it even to do nothing do that ... just do what you or how you would want to be treated ken
 
well i would not act like them number one
they are lying to me also

a buisness deal is a deal not to cry later!!
BUISNESS IS BUISNESS
my heart says refund my mind says no way
 
First of all.... I have a big problem with this statement, Ken....

....i arrived at the airport at 4:05 pm the shipped at 4:20 pm ....

I am also a verified shipper with Delta, and I KNOW that they require the package to be delivered to the airport AT LEAST TWO HOURS BEFORE the plane departs.... please explain that one??

Second of all... I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of your mouth if your tongue came notorized!!.... You blatantly STOLE the animals from Upstate Exotics with no remorse of any kind and certainly no refund!.... In my opinion, you're a thief, plain and simple!

Try doing the right thing and reimbursing the money for these dead snakes, if you SAY you want to do the right thing....

neal
you must not be a very good verified shipper because i deliver about 30 minutes prior to shipment so they do no stay in the terminal.
i did not steal from upstate!!!
next i do not care or will not answer anymore of your questions due to what you wrote
