    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....

In all honesty Amanda, if you are unable to ship properly due to your location you shouldn't be shipping at all. I am no saying that anything Shawn has said has any merit at all (the opposite actually). However, second day shipping is simply unacceptable


You could consider arranging a single shipping day every week or two and dealing with the long round trip to UPS. If that isn't an option then your sarcastic comment about "giving it up" is probably what you need to do. There are always shows you can do if shipping is not an option. I know that i would never purchase anything from someone who only shipped second day

Just one opinion

Amanda, Harlan is absolutely right. If you cannot ship correctly, you should do local business only until there is way for you to ship out that is acceptable, not only for the animals but for the consumer as well. With SYR going down and my last FedEx ordeal, I am going to broaden my horizons and do more shows further away, like Ill. (which is a 12 hour drive from where I live).I used to only want to do shows within a 5 hour driving distance, until recently. Now I have broadened that to 12 hours one way and select shows so far away.
 
Dean means that John is correct...though he may agree with Harlan's statement, as well.
 
I'm still confused why there is no proof of any more emails yet. Are there any more? Are there pics of the so called sick dragons?
 
If you will look in some of my ads, if any are still up. You'll see where it says "if you want to buy the snakes please contact me about the shipping" as we are hours from the UPS office. In fact I found it.


Note: For those interested in the snakes, you may have to be patient and work with us on the shipping date. We have drive 1 1/2 hours to the nearest UPS drop off and we work so will have to somehow squeeze time in to get them shipped

Yes we can get to the UPS office 3 hours away, however I can not guarantee when it will be, like if it will be on Monday or Wednesday, we have to work around stupid odd work hours or wait for a day off work to go ship them..

So I probably did tell your friend that..

But it makes things hard and don't look right when someone pays for an animal and I have to be like wellllll it might be next week sometime before I can ship, then next week comes and the work hours change or you get called in to work on your day off and you have to tell them welllll again sorry but we can't make the 3 hour drive to ship your reptile today either lol.

So as you can see I'm not being a smart** when I say I might as well just give it up I mean because of that..

So do we get to see the videos and photos of the dragons to decide for ourselves or are you deciding that for all of us? The odd thing here is that Amanda never questioned if the dragon was dead until I asked her if she saw proof.

IF they are Shawns dragons, shouldnt Shawn be posting on here stating that, instead of you?
 
NO there are no pics of the "sick" dragon, just pics of the healthy dragon that was supposed to be so frail and sick when he got it, go to his profile and see her. He was showing her off everywhere and saying how pretty and great she was..

I don't get it, but I'm bout done. If she was so sick and frail and smaller as he says WHY did he not let me know???

That is so upsetting..

And yes he did delete me and leave a nasty comment on my profile, he would not reply to me as to why either.

So how could I work something out with him?
 
Yeah I'm so stupid I was totally going to take his word for it, if he said she died then I trusted him and would have replaced her. It was Dean that asked me about photos and I was like humm I didn't get any..
 
Also, Amanda do you have photos of the dragons in question before they were sent. It would be nice to have those posted for comparison shots, especially if you could take screen shots of photos you say tinmantribe posted after recieving them.
 
Dont get me wrong Amanda as the dragon(s) (I am lost as to how many dragons are supposedly dead now) may be dead. But, all I wanted for you to do is have proof and be able to have some sort of communication with Shawn regarding this.

Do I think that you would have taken care of the problem at hand, sure why wouldnt you have. I do see a serious failure of communication here, as well as possible BS too. After all, why wont Shawn post here proving his case that you would do absolutely nothing for a friend to get your final payment of 75.00.
 
That is easy he has pic's of them or her on his profile in his albums from the day or day after he got her.

And he said she was wonderful and perfect..
 
Sorry Amanda. Must have sent the message at the same time.

And amanda, UPS has a pickup option. Weather you're to far away, I don't know.
 
I sent 4 total to Shawn for cash and 2 to them to him or Ben or whoever I guess for the snakes. All are still alive but one.

Honestly, swear to god, I def. would have replaced her with something. As I told you (Dean) the night it happened I was out of trans but could have even offered him baby VC's, corns, or BP's as he was a friend. I was not worried about the 3 day guarantee at the time.

Benjamin, care to explain how (in the video) someone states that "these dragons are from Amanda" if she has it wrong?

I dont question whether or not you would have taken care of him. You said you talked to him everyday for a year. I personally would not put a friendship out on 75.00 or a dead animal that I could replace so I believe you would have taken care of him. Just my opinion though so...
 
I have one problem with both videos that you linked too, none of them are of Lucy. By the way I am also the friend that Shine was talking about. I offered you 150 shipped for that dragon and you refused telling me that your dragon was worth more then a 100 dollars, so if that meant that 50 dollars was for shipping. How did you get that estimate when you ship USPS 2nd day Amanda? That question is what bothered me and had me pass on that dragon.
