• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Does anyone know of any way to get ahold of Chris from Topshelf exotics? I've called, emailed and PM'd here all without success. If anyone knows him or is local to his store, could you please please please ask him to get ahold of me regarding my order.
thanks a ton,
nd
 
He is ALWAYS here.
Hopefully he will see this thread and respond.
 
I think Chris' email is [email protected]. Not positive but that is what I remember. Something has probably come up, either vacation or something similar because from what I have experienced and from what I heard from some friends of mine that have done business with him is that he is super quick on the responses and is an all around good guy. Hope this helps.

I sent him a PM with a link to this thread. He should see it now.
 
I've tried his "sales" email as well as his "chris" email, both without response, and his phone is still all screwy. Wouldn't be so bad, but his hold music is the same song over and over again, drives me nuts :) Same problems I had getting ahold of him the 1st time to place the order.

I got ripped off for a het ball a few months ago and just got my money back from my CC company, paypal btw is absolutely worthless for disputes, and re-invested it on these 3 from Chris. So I might be feeling a little jumpy from that transaction still.

I thought he was shipping me a trio of het ball babies on the 22nd of last month, but they never arrived and I'm a little concerned about them. Hopefully they didn't ship at all and are still fine at his place.

I've heard lots of good things about him, so I'm sure I've just fallen through the cracks for some reason. It happens from time to time.
 
Chris posted on another thread that he is home with a back problem, that could be slowing down his response time.

I also think the weather has been rather bad in his area and he was waiting for temps to get better.

Again just some stuff I read on a different thread, hope that helps some.
 
Don't worry, I am sure Chris will sort it out. If he does have a back problem that is most likely the case - probably laid up in bed - give him a chance and I am sure he'll make good on it.

Hey, I got an idea, let's turn this thread into a get well card for Chris!!!




GET WELL SOON, CHRIS!!!!
 
Awww! Thanks for the support guys, you're the best! :D

Nathan: You will receive notice prior to shipping in the form of an email containing your tracking information. We have nearly 200+ packages to ship that were awaiting shipment due to inclimate weather. They are going out in the order in which they were received and our carrier only allows us to send out 30 packages per day, they don't like us loading thier trucks...... Personally I think it's BS but it beats the alternatives (DHL, Ick....)

Unfrotunately we're a bit shorthanded as well, I recently injured my back and have been forced to sit things out for a few days. We’re doing the best we can, please show a bit of patience. I apologize your email seems to have fallen through the cracks, I informed the guys that shipping is our main priority at this time so correspondence has taken a hit. I've been trying to take a chunk out of it at home but its hard to tell which emails they have replied too already.... I should really find a way to connect the outlook clients somehow.

Take care Nathan, and thanks everyone for the kind words.
 
Chris,
No problems on this end, I just needed an update and didn't know if anything was reaching you. Thanks for the time and hope you feel better soon.
 
Sure thing, I'll be sure to give a ring in the morning and chew some heads off....... Just for you. :D Take care!
 
I'm at Chris site (topacelot there)...he hurt his back and has been laid up in bed...he was on his forum as of a day or 2 ago
 
I have to appologize to Chris for not updating this sooner, been busier the last few months than I care to think about. All three snakes arrived well packed and healthy. I haven't been able to get them interested in frozen rat pups, but they have no trouble taking live small mice and are eating well. I'm still working on converting them over, but for some reason every ball I own wants fresh food once they hit my doorstep. One female had her first shed for me last week and the other two started milking over in the last few days. I am very happy with all three animals.
