    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....

Bad Guy Rhonda Alsa aka red.dragon.frog Terrible person Never do buisness with this person

Goodness i just want the product i was told i would be getting, ive asked her multiple times if she is willing to fix it. and there alone is the proof of being fraudulent shipped a 1lb item that should have been at least 5lbs.
 
I can supply a photo of mail stating my address and my sons address. I work from 8 to 8 and my sons address is the easiest way for me to receive anything since he works from his home most days.

Also she had asked that geckos be delivered to Lanett Al, Not where it states under her name newnan GA.


This is highly frustrating i was nervous as all get out going into this and i had a bad feeling the whole time this is crazy and has ruined me ever doing this again.

I did a quick ship label from USPS online and the lady over the phone told me that corrections could be billed to me with my online account if the weight was incorrect. She advised I put one pound as to not overpay. I have not received a bill from them yet for an overage.

The weight of the box I would think would be more then 1.0lbs.

My son has been instructed to make a video of the opening of the box when it arrives.
I won't be home until a little after 8 tonight and I can upload the video -if they arrive- and post any screenshots or documents that anyone would like to see. I have not been able to read through everything on here but will try to as I can.
 
Rhonda i assure you they have been shipped and will be there in good order. If and only if they for some un-godly reason have arrived dead i will personally pay to have them shipped back so i can see for myself and as for the shipment weight that makes sense but you still sent a empty box it is truly rude and bad business. i feel in everything i have provided is all in my favor and you have done nothing on your end except for state a phone call. i do expect pictures of the open box and i can tell you it was 2 6 inch deli cups 1 inch of moss in each Amel female on top het Amel female on the bottom a ball of news paper in each corner to assure they would not be bouncing around. You really should have done the right thing.

What did it weigh when you dropped it off they normally weigh it and give you a receipt at least my post office does.
 
Im very detailed about this rhonda this is the first time i have ever shipped a gecko let alone 2 at the same time as you can see from my past emails i was hesitant to do so anyways. i even said in one of the last few emails " i feel i have gained trust from all this" when in all reality have done nothing but make me dislike anything of this sort.
Thanks.

Oh and for future "video" purposes the box was white with red lettering stating perishable and fragile stamped on it. any other box is wrong and also was TBT news paper stuffed around the deli cups.

For me, I guess the video isn't that important. We have to assume he shipped what he said, and it was packed well. If in fact, the gecko's aren't what you expected, then it's kind of a separate matter I'd think. Still doesn't make shipping an empty box right.

I would be interested in seeing your receipt that you put the initial purchase of the shipment on an "account". That might give a small amount of validity to the weight discrepancy, however, even if you did, I would still likely point the finger at you for not having the correct weight, on that box.

I guess it's on you, to prove that the box didn't weigh 1lb. I don't believe there's a way to do that. One of those things you should probably make sure of when shipping in the future.
 
Rhonda, look i dont get it. But what i do get is that i would love for nothing more but to make this right will you please ship me what you said you would. Just clear this up and make it valid please. im not a harsh or rude person.
 
JeromyD I shipped out the monsoon that was in a never opened box. I did not need it because my other was able to hook up 6 lines to it so it will work for multiple tanks. I sent it to you via USPS EXPRESS and I was under the impression the geckos would be sent USPS EXPRESS as well. You paid less than 10$ to ship -based on the photo you sent me- 0.2 geckos while I paid a dabble over 20$ to send the monsoon. I wanted to insure it got to you the same time the geckos got to me so it would be a truly even trade. You got the monsoon and say the monsoon was not in the box. I have yet to get the geckos.

Ok you have not gotten the geckos yet they are on the truck everyone reading this already knows that by looking it up, also there looking it up with the tracking number i gave you "that didnt work". also yes i paid less shipping its southern alabama and as you requested you said send it 2day mail i did. hence the product being delivered on friday and not saturday. i kinda forgot what your statement was about on the shipping time of the item.
 
Rhonda, did you ever make sure you actually recieved the monsoon when you purchased it? Like open the box and see it?

This would be the only reason a empty box was shipped but again when you unboxed your other monsoon and felt how there is a significant difference in weight of the boxs you would more than likely check that kinda thing. No?
