Nature Coast Exotics...GOOD GUYS!!!

[minter_c]

I just thought that i would give Chris at Nature Coast Exotics a little recognition.

I bought a 20 inch female sulcatta from Chris a few days ago. She arrived on time as promised and was in excellent health. Chris always returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. the whole transaction went very smooth. It was definetly a great pleasure dealing with Chris at Natures Coast Exotics.

Dragging up an old thread, but better than starting a new one.

They did good by me as well. I sent them an email Monday asking how many Sirens they had in stock. I did not get a reply by Monday night (consistent with the notes on their site) but i did go through their shopping cart system and found that it had inventory control. So Monday at about 1am (technically Tuesday i guess) I ordered 16 Sirens through the website. Tuesday morning I get an email replying to my inquiry about stock. Tuesday evening I get a shipping confirmation. And this morning at 8:45am all of the sirens showed up. They are all alive and in apparent good health (they are feeders anyway). I don't know much about shipping amphibians like Sirens, but it looks like a good packing job to me, they are not cramped and there is lots of nice wet moss in each deli.

So since it was after midnight when I placed my order, technically my order went out the same day. Can't really ask for more than that.

My only concern was that communication was so-so, at least by my rapid reply email standards. They really don't answer the phone and they don't seem to check email but once a day or so. I can't complain since it says that right on their site that this is the case. But now that I have an order under my belt from them, it would not really concern me in the future since I know their system. Just a heads up if your email does not get returned for a day, don't panic.

 

[Jungle Gems]

I'm glad you had a satisfactory transaction dispite their obvious lack of communication. I experienced similar customer service with Nature Coast Exotics, Inc. in a past transaction, however, the monitor I received from them arrived in a cricket box. This is reckless disregard for the life of the animal and as such I will never be purchasing from them again nor will I recommend them to anyone else.

I was reading these posts and felt obligated to share what dealings I have had with this company. Last year, Chris Hunter, of Nature Coast Exotics placed an order with my company in Guyana, South America. He wanted breeder sized dwarf caiman and I was the only one willing to sell to him. He also ordered several other items including Mata mata turtles, lizards and a hand full of various snakes. I custom built his order and shipped it right out. Over the next few days, he called several times and sent several emails (still have them) about how much he loved the animals. Without delay, he placed another order. The problem I made was I gave him net 30 terms on the second half of the first shipment. Trusting him, I immediately applied with the government for the next set of CITES and NON-CITES and started to gather and quarantine animals. By the time his net 30 terms were up, my station was full to the max with his next order. It was only then I found out he was going to burn me and not pay the second half of his animals. I had several adult, female, P. trigs and P. pals which I had to release, as they are a special order item few are interested in.
Before the shipment and for a couple weeks after, Mr. Hunter returned phone calls and e-mails immediately. While we built the order, Mr. Hunter sent me 89 emails. Communication was always fast. He would respond to any email within a couple hours. As soon as the deadline got close, he stopped all communication. The last I heard from him was on 8/16/05 when he wrote, “Like I told you before, I have a couple of big sales working and as soon as that happens, you will be paid off. I am not going to screw you on this. I am just asking you to work with me on it.”
I am still trying to recover my money and have spent more than what he owes in attorney fees. If interested, I can provide any information on my ongoing attempts to recover money Mr. Hunter still owes. This is the first time I was ever burned and it has taught me to be much more careful when dealing with new people. If anyone is interested in any animals Nature Coast offers, I would strongly recommend they find another supplier.

Mike,
I'm glad to see you are posting!

I'm sorry to hear about this again, but glad you brought it up so more buyers may beware.

I hope the rain has let up some.

The other side of the story...

Jennifer,

There are LOTS of people that use cricket boxes to ship in. There is no way we shipped your order without using any kind of padding to keep it from being bounced around. You ordered on 9/27/05 at 11:34 pm and we shipped on 10/4/05. It was warm then so there was no need to use a insulated box. If we shipped it to you and you were not happy with the animal or the packing you should have taken pictures and let us know. I shouldn't have to find out you were unhappy by reading this thread. The peach throat arrived alive and in good health so where is the problem??

Mike,

You are right I ordered from you what I couldn't get from anyone else and I still didn't get it from you! I wanted female adult caiman over 40". You told me you couldn't give me strait females so I said I wanted at least a 50/50 split on the sex of them or more FEMALES than males. You said no problem. I ordered 14 adult caiman and a bunch of other animals $5600 total. I will say when I got the animals most of them looked good but after sexing the caiman there was only 2 girls out of 14. That is not even close to 50/50. That is a 86/14 split. You knew I ordered them for myself for breeders so what was I going to do with all these extra males?? AFTER THEY GOT HERE I told you I might be able to sell the extra males because they were so big and impressive but to this date I have not sold 1. I told you to work with me and if I could I would pay you anyway for the extra males (all 10 of them as you only sent me 2 pair). I was trying to be a good guy and pay you for stuff I didn't order in hopes that you would make it right on the next order but after talking to several importers, dealers and hobbyists and hearing all the crap you were saying about me I decided NOT to pay you for what I didn't order. Nor was I going to place another order with you when you are that quick to talk crap. The balance on the order is $1600 (that is 28.6% of the order NOT HALF). You charged me $250 ea plus create fee and freight fee for them. That is 10 animals (that I can't use) at $250 ea + 4 create charges at $15 ea = $2560. I only owe you $1600 so in essence I have already paid you $960 towards the animals that I didn't order nor do I want. I have told EVERYONE that has told me you were talking crap about me including you that you can have $1600 worth of the male caimans you sent me back or sell them in the states and I will ship them for you. Now I have been holding these for over a year, feeding them, keeping them warm in the winter and even though I now have MORE $$ invested in them the offer still stands.. If you want these to go to someone else just let me know and I will get them together and ship them (in the USA) to anyone you want for the original cost of $250 ea plus create and freight off of the $1600 still owed. I assure you that if you would have been able to sex the animals like you said you could we would not be here right now. Crocodilians are very easy to sex when they are at the size I ordered (40"+) but yet you still sent me 12.2. Did you not think I was going to sex them myself? Or did you just not care? I suggest in the future you don't sell what you can't provide and there will be no problems. If you ordered 7.7 of ANYTHING and the company sent you 12.2 would you pay them?? Is there anyone out there that would? Everyone that has brought you up to me agrees WHEN they hear the whole story!!

In another post you said I was the only one to rip you off... I didn't rip you off I have been offering you your animals back for a year. I look at it as you ripped me off!! The ONLY reason I placed a order with you was because you said you could supply me with adult female caiman. Those are the only things I couldn't get from anywhere else so I ordered them. The only reason I ordered the other animals was to off set the freight costs. I wanted/needed the female caiman and unfortunately I still want/need them as you couldn't supply what you said you could. I ordered from you taking you at your word and look what it's got me.. I got a bunch of animals I could have hand-picked in Miami for less $$ and a bunch of male caiman that I didn't want or need... Not to mention all the people that have came to me asking "why I ripped you off" When in reality it was you TRYING to rip me off!! What nerve you have.. Talking about rip offs.. What about Pete from incredible pets? You told me he was into you for $30,000+ over the last few years. I could fill a whole page on just the stuff you told me about him ripping you off but yet I don't see any posts about him here! Yet you are sure there to jump on me for not paying for animals that were NOT what they were supposed to be. Whats up with that? I should have known this was going to happen with all the crap you talked about Pete. I should have known I was next..

If anyone is interested in any specifically sexed animals Cobra wildlife exporters offers, I would strongly recommend they go to SA and sex them before they agree to pay. As they send what they want and still want you to pay for them.

I am not going to battle this out on the BOI. This my side of the story and I will not be replying to this thread any more. On paper I owe you $1600 I can prove I have paid you $4000 of the $5600 order so you can have $1600 worth of the male caimans back no problem. Just give me the address (in the USA) where you want them shipped to and I will get them out next week. Please let me know ASAP where you want me to send your caiman so we can end this and I never have to hear anything from you again! You can email me with the shipping info.

Again I will not battle this out on the BOI send me the address where you want the male caimans shipped to and I will ship them. I will not waist my time replying to any more comments you make on this forum!! Period end of story!!
Thanks Chris

If that isn't obvious to you by my initial post, you have a larger array of problems than I first imagined. We were done with you and your company when the animal arrived in a cricket box. This is not a mistake to have been rectified no matter what your reasoning. I did not start this thread, but I was happy to oblige my story which would've remained fact had I contacted you or not.

As a side, "there are LOTS of people that use" USPS to ship snakes, lots of people who use deli cups with no other padding, lots of people who neglect the addition of heat packs in the winter... does that make it right? Poor shipping practices are poor shipping practices no matter who the perpetrator.

 

[NCEI]

Jennifer, Your right.. You busted me.. I shipped you a healthy juvenile peach throat monitor, in a timely manner, at a great price ($100 plus shipping) in a cricket box. I should do HARD time for that one..

If there are legitimate reasons why NOT to use a cricket box. I would love to hear them. If they are legit I would be more than willing to stop using them. In the mean time I will be waiting out by the gate for the cricket box police to arrest me for shipping in that box to you. Seriously I have been using cricket boxes for years and you are the first and only person to ever complain about them. Sorry we didn't meet your standards on shipping but the animal arrived alive and was in perfect health. There is nothing else for me to say..

Wow, Chris Hunter,… back from the beyond! Thanks for answering! It sure would have been easier if you answered any of the countless phone calls, e-mails or certified letters from Guyana Ministry of Wildlife or our attorney, in Miami.

Interesting to hear “your side” of the story, however. You knew EXACTLY what we were able to gather for you because I did almost all the collecting personally. When we captured an animal in perfect condition (which averaged 1 out of 6, as breeding sized animals fight and end up missing legs and tail tips – a bargain at the $200 I sold you for, not the $250, you claim. Please check the invoice on 4/22/05), I sent you pictures, sizes and sex within 12 hours of it’s capture as to avoid holding an animal that was not exactly what you wanted. Remember? True, the order was heavy on males but the second order you placed was to make up for that. By the way, should we visit the topic of your next order and discuss the male/female ratio I was quarantining when you vanished on your unpaid bill? Massive, breeder sized caiman are an extremely special order. I could not sell those to other exporters so they were released. The $1600 I spoke about here was being nice! Also, interesting you will mention the crate fees, as if it was some big deal. I charged you $15/crate and each crate housed two caiman. $15 can’t even pay for the materials to build the crate, much less the labor.

I have 89 e-mails from you backing up everything I said. I have detailed records on everything, including a videotape of the packing so we can all be sure exactly what left Guyana. If you need to refresh your memory, please respond to our attorney and stop hiding. He has everything on file in his office, ready to move on. Hiding, only runs up the legal fees. If you tossed the letters you signed for, I’ll be glad to get you the contact information. That would be better and cheaper than waiting for the next letter!

Sure, if someone can bail you out of this mess you caused by buying the animals in top shape, EXACTLY as they were when you received them, I have no problems. Remember, EVERY animal was perfect, with the exception of one massive male having a bite mark on its head (the one you said, “I didn’t even know dwarf caiman got that big.”)

You should also know, all the people I was talking “crap” about you to,… well,… it was always a mutual conversation. The world is not so big you can treat people so poorly and just run off to cash the next check without things catching up to you.

Please feel free to contact me. I would love to have you pay your bill and we’ll all move on.

Let's see....

1.) No protection at all against swings in temperatures during shipping

2.) No protection against any and all foreign sustances that might get through metal mesh

3.) The excellent chance that something as aggressive as a monitor might excape.


Those are off the top of my head. I am sure that several more reasons for not shipping like a moron could be put in print.

 

[ExoticPetsWS]

I have been importing and exporting animals for a little over 15 years. The business is such that you get what you get.With over 80,000 ball pythons being exported from Benin, Togo and Ghana to ask for all high-end females would be a joke. If that was the case, I'd be rolling in money right now, litterally!

Special orders for sex are generally not taken. Most of the exporters we deal with do not speak English or speak it very little and hardly understand what we say. You get lucky when you have one such as Mike @ Cobra Wildlife, that is an American.

Chris, when I spoke with a year or so ago, I don't remember the exact date or time, you told me anything I wanted from Guyana and Mike would have to come through you because Mike was selling all of his quota to you exclusively. I emailed Mike with my concerns about that and ordered from another exporter as I would not buy from a middle person/company. It's people/companies that don't pay the exporters that make the rest of us importers look bad. This is why hardly any exporters allow us American to pay net 7 or 15.

I'm sure you know, Mike is doing Gods work in Guyana and does Cobra to offset the money needed to live. To have a loss of $1600 is a big blow for someone on a very limited income, with a family. Just pay him and be done with it. Since we do not deal with this type of animal and do not carry a license for such, I can not help either of you with this. Maybe call around to the farms and see if anyone would be interested in buying them at cost. This would pay the balanced owed and cancel out the law suit.

Just my opinion ~ no hate mail, please.

 

[COBRA Wildlife Expor]

Chris,

I have been thinking about this and I am beside myself with the nerve you have! I can back up everything I said and for you to claim I sent you something you didn’t want just burns me up! First of all, I live far from the airport and Georgetown. For me to put together a shipment and get it out is a major production. Just the logistics would spook most people off, for the money involved. Then there is the fact you are claiming you didn’t order the animals I sent. Let’s just look at that for a minute. Who in their right mind would send such huge caiman thinking there would even be a slight possibility of not getting paid for them? Caiman that size are extremely leery and difficult to capture. They live in the most remote and inaccessible areas. It sometimes takes the better part of a day just to get to them. Remember, they did not get that large by being stupid and they almost always submerge with the slightest ripple or odd noise. You try paddling an aluminum boat up on one and grabbing it by the neck with both hands! Then, if you don’t go overboard, (piranha, electric eels, freshwater stingrays…) deal with one flopping in the boat. I even told you it was a mistake to take the order but I would keep my word and fill it!! Unlike baby and sub-adults, they seldom miss when they snap and if that jaw lands on your hand you can forget a quick dash to the hospital. Next, you are crying I charged you $200 each? That is simply amazing to me! Would you take this job? I went the extra (countless) mile(s) for you and you didn’t even pay! What a conman you are!!

I can’t even imagine anyone believing you got shafted on that deal. Believe me, I wasn’t getting rich! I would do much better to drift the edge looking for oddball Emerald and Cooks! It sure is a lot more enjoyable, lucrative and easy!

By the way, you accuse me of “talking trash” about you? Have you even checked around to see what your rep. is? I’m just amazed you had any positive posts on this site. If I were you, I would frame them and try to remember those words as your business goes down the tubes. You can’t treat people like this without it catching up to you!

You're real worried, huh?

Sun Coast,

If you're so worried about how he was shipping his snakes, then, howcome i just recived a c.b baby boa from you that was shipped fed-ex, who dosen't ship live animals, that was tied up in a sock and sealed completely in a medium sized box. I took that snake out of the sock and its head was tucked under its body. I felt her and she already was already stiff from being dead for over 24 hrs. You call yourself a reputable breeder, but then again you rip me off money, don't answer my messages, and still crack down on people because of their shipping process. I rather get my snake in a cricket box allive. Then see it come out of a sealed box dead.

If i do not recive a message from you on how we are going to settle my refund, you will hear from my attorney, the S.P.C.A. and the law enforcement.


Please note that this was a case of mistaken identity on the part of Mr. Rushton, as noted in post #19 on this thread:

I recently made a deal with Sun Coast Reptiles, Not, Sun Coast Herps. The name just looked so similar. Sun coast herps seems like a nice place, i've visited their website numerous times looking at colubrids. Sorry to Sun Coast Herps.

I would delete this post, but evidently it would make a real mess of everything here in this thread if I did so. So hopefully this will suffice. -WebSlave

[COBRA Wildlife Expor]

Wow, it amazes me of how many kids there in on the trade. Not that that’s a bad thing,…

I recently sent an order to a guy, who contacted me. He had a company and all the right import/export documents for us to work together. No problem! Everything went well! He turned up to be a stand up guy, in my estimation. True to his word!!!! He loved the animals and paid without delay. One day, we were shooting the breeze and he mentioned he was a Jr. in high school. What the….? I must admit, this guy seemed to have the world by the tail and did right by me. Nothing wrong with that! He was true to his word. BUT, when someone 16 starts talking about having “their attorney” get after someone, I gotta wonder! I have a clear-cut case against Chris Hunter, at Nature Coast Exotics, and STILL I had to pony up the cash before anyone was willing to drag this bozo to court!!!!

It was not money lost, however, as COBRA is now incorporated in FL. It was only the next logistical step in the evolution COBRA Imports. Anyway, I sure hate to be involved is such a case.

Chris, I see you have corrected your rip off stunts with others. I plead, for all of us, you pay your bill of $1,600! Are you seriously thinking that is some huge unjustified amount? Ha?… I would much rather count you as a satisfied customer/friend than have to deal with all this mess. (Guess it’s too late for that?) You see we are serious about recovering our money! Do we need to keep moving forward with the court case? Do you think you can possibly win? People with more experience than us say you will claim bankruptcy, rather than pay the bill (animals you bought and didn’t pay for, animals we quarantined – ON YOUR DIRECT & DOCUMENTED ORDER and legal expense). Is that what you want? Knowing the truth, are you really willing to toss the dice? Just pay us the $1,600 and we’ll move on! If you really want to go with Plan B, we are talking about legal expense and the entire holding station of animals I had from you. Please remember, I turn records, and get inspected monthly, by the Guyana Wildlife Authorities. ALL I had in quarantine, for you was recorded and documented by the governmental veterinarian, Dr. Applewaite. (Please feel free to contact him – Want the contact information?) Knowing what is to loose, I stand in amazement at your nerve? Are you truly that stupid or are you that sure of your case?

I fully understand, we all go through ‘tff’ times and I can sympathize with the difficulties you had in your personal life and business relationships. I told you, I would work with you!

PLEASE, just pay what you owe and let’s call this “water under the bridge!” You know I grew up almost directly across the state from you and I assume you were yet another importer that thought you would rip off someone in South America, but I hope you can see that’s not the case. PLEASE, just pay your $1,600 and we’ll forget about the several grand you had in my station, the money I invested in Guyana export taxes & levies, on your next order and all the lawyer expenses. Also, know, I would love nothing more than stop the Guyana Wildlife Authorities from refusing to make papers in the name of “Chris Hunter” or “Nature Coast Exotics”. The more we can ship to the better for all us exporters. It would also get BBB off your back and it will stop me from warning people about your deeply entrenched tendencies to rip people off. We already have one person you conned, claiming you made right. Please make it Two!!

Firstly, you're going to need to publically retract this statement, son. You might not realize it, but you just tread into dangerous legal waters by libeling an upstanding businessman with whom you have never had any dealings.

Secondly, while you have good reason to be upset about your transaction, hollow legal threats will get you nowhere. It's best not to mention attorneys when it isn't plausible that one would be involved. To begin with, you're a minor, so it would be your parent's attorney, and not yours. Secondly, reatining an attorney for something so trivial is cost prohibitive, so the claim of having one involved becomes utterly absurd. Likewise, the SPCA wouldn't get involved, as snakes aeren't warm and fuzzy. Even so, they are merely a state agency, and respective jurisdictions end at respective geographic borders. As for law enforcement, we again get into the sticky area of jurisdiction. Your local LEA can do nothing, and his local LEA likely will do nothing of consequence. This is not out of laziness, but rather out of the fact pursuing and prosecuting such a case would prove to be a waste of time and effort.

Dead spiney soft Sell turtles

I ordered 2 Spiney Soft shell turtles. Both arrived dead and the legs on one was chewed up I have taken a series of pics. They do not reply to email. I will never deal with this company again

I just thought that i would give Chris at Nature Coast Exotics a little recognition.

I bought a 20 inch female sulcatta from Chris a few days ago. She arrived on time as promised and was in excellent health. Chris always returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. the whole transaction went very smooth. It was definetly a great pleasure dealing with Chris at Natures Coast Exotics.
