I found this thread useful as I often see their posts on IG and have considered going through them, thanks for the heads up!
at this link on home page : http://www.snakesatsunset.com
there is a big bold red notice that states:
"Don't want to wait for an email answer to a question?
YOU CAN NOW TEXT US FOR UP TO DATE PICS, INFO, AND ANSWERS! 11-9PM EST

The best Reptiles for sale anywhere! "
We try to check facebook continuously but we check emails and texts much more regularly. Like I said, we may have sent the request to another inquiree by accident and thought we had fulfilled your request.....facebook is not our usual method of getting the pictures and such sent out.

I can tell you Mike/Snakes of Sunset does a hell of a better job than some of the other larger reptile sellers. I have purchased animals worth thousands of dollars from overseas and they import and reship the packages. I can't imagine they make too much money off of this. It was done in a timely manner and even when I didn't get the automatic FedEx tracking number, I called Mike and he sent it to me within an hour on a Saturday. Knowing they do this for animals they aren't even selling I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them directly.
I may not have proof, but the reviews all over the web speak for themselves.
You sure can write huge long stories and do tons of research defending your reputation can't you? If you put half the amount of effort into your normal communication or business as you do defending your reputation on here. We'll then, you'd be top-of-the-line.
But God forbid someone wants to cancel their order because they found all the bad reviews about you online (and because the snake was farm bred and probably loaded with parasites and God knows what!) Who the hell won't cancel an order that hasn't been shipped? I shouldn't have needed to make up some extravagant story on why I couldn't keep the snake. Your policy is as poor as your communication and your reviews.
If someone does not want their animal. You should not argue or ask why... if it has not been shipped. I've never seen such stupidity from any business. I also called and talked in person to "someone." They answered the phone and all they said was "snakes" in an irritated tone of voice. I said: "I need to cancel an order please," and whomever I talked to said "I'm sorry it'll have to be tomorrow."
It takes two minutes to cancel an order. This is when I knew for-sure the reviews out there had to be right. Whoever I talked to (probably you Mike,) was rude as hell (another common complaint!) When I called back multiple times the next day, no one answered. Big surprise!
Here are links to all the lovely reviews you have out there:

^-- Even further down the list now. It's getting hard to find any info on you now. Good or bad. This guy says he too has heard a lot of mixed stuff about your business. Dead animals within days, some say the opposite.
There really aren't that many reviews of you here or elsewhere. And your track record is Poor. If you were doing so much business online there would be much more reviews.
You also did not have any information on your website about if the boa was CBB, CB, wild caught, or farmed. In fact you don't for most of your animals. What great business practice there as well!
One of my mods asked me about an official policy concerning posting links to posts or threads on other sites referencing "evidence" concerning a person or business that is the topic of a thread here on the BOI. I figured I should post my reply here for reference...
Actually, this is a good point that I have never addressed before.
If someone is providing a link to a post or thread that is on another site, and the author there has no method of being identified as a real person (via personal name or business name), then would that constitute an anonymous third party quote?
My gut feeling is that if an identified source of all statements made is a requirement for posting on the BOI, then using links to anonymous posts made on another site are not acceptable fare on the BOI. I doubt that most sites have this same requirement, so someone could simply post anonymous bogus claims on another site under an assumed handle, and then simply post a link to it within the BOI.
So, I think I answered your question....![]()

Reason for order cancellation.
Hello again,
The reason I have requested to cancel my order is because I found out my landlord does not allow reptiles (particularly snakes) and does frequent (and invasive I might add,) walkthroughs of my home.
I am aware that you do not usually do refunds of shipped animals but my order has not yet been shipped.
I hope you will be understanding about this and I will leave you guys a great review.
Thanks for your time and sorry that I must cancel the order
Sincerely,
John Westlund
I shouldn't have needed to make up some extravagant story on why I couldn't keep the snake.
1. snake was... probably loaded with parasites and God knows what!)
2. Your policy is as poor...
3. If someone does not want their animal. You should not...ask why...
4. It takes two minutes to cancel an order.
5. htt://****nobadbreed...
So, none of your "reason to cancel" was true? Would it be fair if Mike created a BAD GUY BOI report on you for being a self admitted lair and breaking your business agreement under false pretense? You entered into an agreement with Mike did you not? You made a purchase with him and then lied to get out of it. Not only did you lie about why you cancelled, you then said you were going to give a "great review", yet here you are doing the complete opposite. Hum...


I had the same problem when I ordered my uromastyx. Their costumer service isn't the best and the communication is terrible.

Yet another happy customer!
But we are all full of shit? I'm honest whenever I can be. He forced me to lie; that is how I see it. Had he explained what reasons I could cancel for, I would have been honest. As I am sure a customer feeling uncomfortable with his business after reading negative reviews is a VERY COMMON occurrence.
Whatever.
Personal Note:
1. Where is your proof?
2. A policy I'm sure you read "before" you made your purchase?
3. A smart business absolutely "should" ask why. There are 100 reasons, many of which a smart business might be able to help out with for the benefit of the buyer, company, staff & future customers.
4. Where is your proof?
Mod Note:
5. It is bad enough you ignored the rules on posting 3rd party quotes, in addition, profanity is not welcome here either (typed, screen shot, linked etc.)
