    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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 Shipping

I have my own boxes...I just can't get past the Get Price stage.
Doesn't matter how much savings it appears to be, if I can't actually make a shipment, it doesn't do me any good. And I STILL can't get an answer on the customer service number.

I just shipped using reptster. I click Estimate Rates" first, then click "Ship" in the right column.

I guess I wasn't really responding to your inquiry other than because of the changes they might have some kinks to work out.
 
I was going to use them this year, and they would have collected a chunk of change from me, but they never sent the boxes they said they sent. 1 1/2 months after they said they sent them, and still no boxes, so I am done with this line of shipping.

No more free boxes now anyway so I don't think you are going to get that order after all Bobby. :rofl:

I understood that, Mark. (I was just being a whiny little :censored: )

I've shipped through them a few times - it's not that I don't know how...it just no longer works for me. As I said in my post, when I click either of the options to ship, it brings me to the blank shipping page - none of the info is saved (entering all that crap in 12 times has gotten old...I now know my customer's address and phone number from memory).
The information isn't even carried into the pending shipments page like it used to be.

I did finally manage to get an answer on their customer service number...sadly, it was only voicemail. Still no call back.

(Good thing I straightened out that little issue with my FedEx account. It cost me a little more, but my packages went out on schedule)

I was just saying I had no problem shipping today. Maybe it's the computer you are using. :shrug01:
 
I thought of that, and tried it from another one this afternoon.
I don't know what the deal is, but it's looking more and more like I'll be using my FedEx account for tomorrow's shipments as well.

The only thing I can think of is that my account got put on hold or something because I changed my billing (I had to cancel the listed card, due to a number of fraudulent transactions)
 
I scrolled through the pages of this thread, found David's email, and contacted him that way. He called me, sorted it all out, and I've got another box going out with Reptster today.
Thanks again, David!
 
Anyone know whats up with the free boxes, or lack there of? I was under the impression that the free boxes was part of the agreement between Fedex and Repster. If that no longer exists, what other parts of the agreement are open to change?

The boxes weren't coming from FedEx, they were coming from Superior. I imagine they stopped the free box thing because people were ordering boxes and then not using them with Repster shipments.
 
That's exactly what happened, from what I've read from them--some people decided to take advantage of the system and ruin it for everyone else. Reptster was losing a ton of money on the boxes. This is a perfectly fair solution--we get a bigger shipping discount, and we were paying for our own boxes before Reptster anyhow. You can now buy the boxes and other supplies right on Reptster's website, and they're quite fairly priced!

You have to buy the boxes at a couple dollars a piece but when you ship instead of saving around 20% you now will save around 40% which even with the price of the box you save more than you did when you got the box for free.

I used my own box, and my savings was about 30% on the package that went out today

Cool. Thanks for the info.

Now I am having issues. I was on earlier and all was good. I went back just now and I was no longer logged on and when I went to log in, I got a message that my userid was not valid. :shrug01:

I've had this same issue numerous times. I even had David Young reset my account once and it still does it to me. I finally gave up trying.....

Just posted what they had said on their site.
 
I was tempted to just remove this thread because of an unfortunate display of animosity towards the members on this site by a certain individual, but instead perhaps it is best if I just provide a link to the thead where that takes place -> http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=117299

That way anyone reading this thread can make their own decisions about what to make of that situation.
