    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....

Reptster.com experience with show sponsorship not good

Thank you again webslave! This thread is about repster and kelly's issue. Not all this other stuff. People are getting slammed on karma points simply for disagreeing with the majority here. When ive tried to stay unbiased, ive gotten slammed. Seems like everyone has already formed their opinions without the whole story. I dont see reptster coming here after all of this. Theres 2 sides to everything. Why would someone come on here if they are going to get torn up over it. Im even afraid to say what I think so imagine what reptster thinks. Of course I don't think most of you even care about what they think because you have already made up your minds.

I find it ironic that you thank Webslave in one breath, and then in the next you completely miss the point of (and the guidelines for using) the BOI. People are NOT supposed to start a new thread with each new issue about an idividual. People are encouraged to use an existing thread, so all (or as much as possible) info about a given person is in one place.

SO...while it is true that Kelly started this thread about one specific problem, it is entirely right and proper according to the BOI rules and guidelines, for the thread to cover a multitude of issues completely aside from Kelly's initial post.

Reptster was given ample opportunity to come and give their point of view...their side of the story....their defense....whatever you want to call it. NOT doing so was THEIR choice...and now they must live with the consequences of that decision: a great number of people of all levels of experience and influence now seriously questioning their credibility.

No matter how much you rant and rave about how "unfair" it all is, it won't change the simple fact of actions and consequences.

What was it about the last two posts from David that gave you any kind of inkling that he may have come back and posted his side, even if we welcomed him with open arms?
 
Any details on the account or agreement between Reptster and FedEx is between Reptster and FedEx. If David wishes to reveal to anyone the inter working or the negotiations or anything on the agreement, it is up to David.

What I can guarantee everyone is that the agreement is valid, is legal, there is nothing hidden or wrong doing as some suggest here to persuade some not to utilize Reptster. This is not between a local rep as one suggested. Does this mean the guy driving a FedEx truck in PA knows the terms for Reptster? Maybe, maybe not. 4600+ packages shipped to date and some on this thread want to focus attention on a handful of issues with drop offs that occur regardless of your own FedEx acct or Reptster when shipping live reptiles. Unfortunately this is as some mention a problem within FedEx when it comes to Reptiles. This is a small % when considering the drama-free shipments made daily. 4600+ packages shipped and only a handful of errors whether they be a pickup or double charged by some mistake on program or member double clicking. In these handful of cases, all was resolved and for the one or two not resolved please contact David for resolution. Simple as that, but they won't get resolved here on the BOI for that I can assure you.

Any issues with Reptster needs to be resolved at Reptster. On being able to contact FedEx for any issues with your package? By all means, no one is stopping you from contacting your rep or anyone at FedEx. When David states contact him for any issues. It's called CUSTOMER SERVICE. We handle 1000's of packages and have connections at FedEx upper management. Chances are we may be able to get resolution for you faster. But, by all means any one is welcome to contact FedEx with their tracking # and deal with their own worries.

As for Kelly's situation with David, this is between Kelly and David. I will not respond to this as this is between the two parties and no mob on the BOI will correct this regardless of who is at fault. David will not post here and as of this post neither will I. Now have at it, make up more accusations, knock yourselves out.

Steven,

Once again you have written much and said little. If I was David and was going to pick a mouthpiece, I can assure you, you wouldn't be my first choice. Is David too much of a weasel to come here and be truthful? Does he even possess the ability? FedEx may have shipped 4600+ packages, Reptster hasn't. I'd be willing to bet there is no national agreement. Just my opinion but each day that goes by it becomes more and more likely in my mind.

The three highlighted areas pretty much stand out for me as 2 are crap and the other is about the most truthful thing coming from Reptster yet.
 
Webslave,just how many times are you going to warn for name calling before you do anything about it ? The children are still at it.
 
Steve, you make it sound like hundreds of people every day are streaming through Repster's front doors with reptiles in hand for Repster to package and ship out for them. But we all know that's not what is happening. Repster sends out boxes (and apparently not even free ones anymore)....and has some software that prints labels. It's still up to the individual to package their own animal and to get it to a proper FedEx drop off point....and it's up to FedEx to make the delivery. So HOW is it, exactly, that Repster has shipped 4600+ packages of live animals??? It would be far more appropriate to take credit for successfully shipping out thousands of empty boxes and having them arrive unharmed. :rolleyes:

Steven,
Are you the official spokesperson for Reptster? What exactly is your role within the company (since you so freely use the term "we", it gives the impression that you are somehow involved).
 
All these posts, and I still don't get it....
If David Young is so anti-BOI, why are his lackeys still coming to post for him? One would think that there would have been some sort of memo sent out, instructing his people not to egg things on here.

Bad press is better than no press?
 
I usually just hang back and read these threads, but one thing that keeps coming up that just irks me:

The price.

Agree with Kelly, David, or whomever at this point the price is immaterial. Bottom line is Kelly provided a service, for which David agreed to pay. Kelly has given proof that she provided said service. David has chosen not to reply, and, in fact, posted a frankly laughable response, that showed to many of us here just what a puerile, immature businessman he truly is. Kelly has not received any compensation, unless one counts the heartache she received from some of the members here.

David owes something for services rendered, how much exactly is trivial, until he decides to man up, and confront this situation.

If its just one or two unresolved cases that you and David know of, why haven't either of you set aside the time to contact those one or two customers to personally resolve the matter? I mean, why should they have to reach out to you for a resolution when you both obviously are well aware that they haven't been resolved?

Why shouldn't people focus on that "handful of issues" (and obviously some have NOTHING to do with "drop offs"), when they are not resolved? How many times does one have to try to contact David to get them resolved, is there a magic number?:shrug01:

And how many times has it been said around here......the true measure of a person is NOT how they handle the things that go right (that's the EASY part!), but the things that go wrong? David has clearly shown here that he just doesn't give a flying :censored: . He's more worried about whining about the BOI being a bunch of unimportant meanies than taking care of his customers that do have issues.

And you know, this whole "4600+ shipments made (by Fedex), and not a single problem" mantra is starting to give remind me of someone else's mad rants, and it's kinda giving me the creeps. :ack2:
 
Yeah this has gotten out of hand. Back to the original point, Kelly has yet to receive a dime for the work and advertising she did for David / Ripster. Sure he finally paid Repticon after what 3 months? and yet David Young has made no attempt at making any agreement to pay for the advertising that was done.

Mr. Kelley,

Since you seem to have some knowledge of this situation, please advise me of my next step since Mr. Young has made it clear to several people that he does NOT plan on contacting me, thinking I will just go away. I have had conversations with quite a few people who spoke to him at the Tampa show this weekend, and I heard the same exact wording from some, paraphrased by others - Mr. Young is happy to leave this as it is, and does not plan on moving forward at all to resolve our issue, as he feels if he just does not respond, I will just go away. You might want to tell him he is wrong - I will NOT go away.

Am I supposed to contact him again? If so, why is that my responsibility at this time since I made every effort to contact him before posting here? Why is it that Mr. Young feels justified not owing ANY money for the advertising that was done for Reptster for over 2 months? He not only agreed via email to me on 9/3 that he owed money, but also here on the BOI in his own words he admitted a contract was agreed upon and that monies were owed. So why is it he feels that he can suddenly change his mind?

Forget posting on the BOI, that is FINE if he does not want to come here and defend himself. But he has an obligation to come to me PRIVATELY in some manner (my email address and phone number have not changed), and as I have promised, I will inform the community if/when a resolution is found.
I ask YOU these things, as Mr. Young has made it clear to me that he does not plan on contacting me, and you seem to be able to speak for him and Reptster. And if you do not feel you need to post here again, then YOU contact me privately and we can discuss things. My email address and phone number are in several of the emails at the beginning of this thread.

Or maybe Geordie Jenner, your CFO, or Barry Dalke, the COO, or maybe even Jason Sinn, who was CFO up until 8/28/08 according to your annual report filed in Flordia would contact me, since he was the original person to send the Articles of Incorporation to the state that were made official on 12/19/07? Or should I contact one of them? Or maybe I should find out exactly how to contact the other people who have the 10,000 shares in the company and contact them to let them know what as transpired?

Which would be better for Reptster?
