The parents are irrelevant huh?
Interesting.
And no, the sellers job isn't complete.
So if I had received the package a week later and the b NO longer box was crushed, then as long add the box was showing delivered... The seller wouldn't be required to work with the buyer to file a claim?
And I will post a copy of the report

I want to make this very clear. Fedex requires you to sign a waiver when you ship an animal. That waiver releases them from all responsibility about that shipment. Your seller had to sign that waiver to ship your box. If he did not sign the waiver, he violated fedex policy anyway. Which means you can not file a claim. Even if he did start a claim, he would have to admit that he shipped a animal with out telling fedex OR he signed the waiver saying they have no liability with that package.

I am currently getting set up to send and receive live animals. Part F of my waiver says.

"Company agrees to waive any right to receive adjustments, refunds or credits under the Money Back Guarantee Policy as defined in the FedEx Service Guide in effect at the time of shipment."

So, no. You can not get a refund. He can not get a refund. Fedex will tell him to read the waiver he signed to ship you the animal.

If it was stolen, blow up, stomped, or given to puppies, the answer would be the same thing.

The buyer nor seller can file a claim. Which is why the seller has checked out on this one. He knows it is a lost cause.

Yep irrelevant because there is no proof, could be retain sperm, could be that you misunderstood the breeder, could be that you got scammed.

VISUAL identification so far says Black Pastel Het Pied (Still waiting for belly pic) and I am not the only one t have mentioned this.


Now your shipping comparison are two different things in YOUR case the seller SHIPPED the animal, Fedex DELIVERED the animal ON TIME.

The fact that the animal is stolen is not THEIR responsibility.

I will explain again (last time)

FEDEX DOES NOT COVER LIVE ANIMAL PURCHASES so claim or not they will not refund the cost of the animal.

A claim for DOA is one thing (again if the label was printed and the package was insured by SYR) this would entitle the breeder to a full refund. There is no DOA here.

A claim for delayed package is another thing it would entitle the breeder for a shipping cost refund granted this is not weather related. There is no delayed package here.

The package was DELIVERED

FEDEX WILL NOT REFUND SHIPPING ON SOMETHING THAT SHOWS AS DELIVERED, they are not responsible for packages being stolen from YOUR porch.

This has been mentioned over and over again not sure why you don't understand those simple facts.

Your ONLY option is catching the thief and press charges. (How about that copy of the POLICE REPORT BTW?)

I understand you want what you want and think it's gonna go the way you want it to go but it does not work that way.

Is the wait time going to be the same as the never ending wait time, for the belly shot of your alleged Black Pastel Pied, that you stated, in your Ad, you would post?
If you do just happen to post a police report, make sure the officer's name shows &/or is included.

Anyone can post what the parents were. Doesn't mean that's really what they were. You could post hets for sale saying they were produced by x animals and be completely full of it. People wouldn't know until years later when they bred them that they bought misrepresented animals.

Actually after all of this, I'd question the het part. It could just be a black pastel with a nice ringer and not even a het.

 

[DynamicReptilez]

You still fail to understand how shipping works.

Even if you file a claim you will NOT get your money back, FedEx does not cover animal shipments (this has been posted several time)

Only SYR, provide insurance (optional) and it covers DOA, which means if the shipper used them he would need to provide proof of DOA due to carrier mishandling and in your case there is no DOA, and the animal shows as delivered.

FedEx only refund shipping costs for delayed packages (so long it is not due to weather) they will not refund a package that shows delivered, if it was delivered they fulfilled their duties, they are not responsible IF someone steals a package from your porch.

How about some belly pic of that "Black Pastel Pied" you refuse to properly label.

"Even if I file a claim"..... Well.... Let that be my prerogative to file a claim.
You are right in that they don't cover live animals, but that's in regards to a live arrival guarantee. I understand what you're saying, but that's in the even I receive my animal and it's dead, they don't pay out for that.
I'm talking about a NONDELIVERY, or possible driver theft with fraudulent scanning.
All I wanted was for the seller to initiate a claim, regardless of the outcome,to which he did not attempt.
2 weeks before I proceeded with the charge back, the seller also offered a credit to which he didn't follow through with either. Hence the charge back and the BOI.

And looking at your time stamp of when you posted, the picture was posted for an hour, granted not immediately after the request to which I do apologize for.

Haha you're so funny..... It could take that long if you'd like?
And what exactly do you need the officer's name for?
Didn't plan on removing it, but I also am curious as to why that of all info you want to show? Plan on trying to screw me and call him and tell him that I'm somehow filing a false claim?

 

[DynamicReptilez]

So let me get this straight:

The OP (buyer) clearly knew that the package was coming, had the tracking number on hand, and was waiting for the package. And he's blaming the seller for not receiving the snake?

Why are we even bringing up the seller at all? The seller fulfilled his duties. Once FedEx "delivers" the package the sale is complete. The buyer has no obligation after that point. Sure, it would be nice if the seller would assist, but considering the OP has or is considering filing claims against the seller with PayPal and his credit card I'm not at all surprised at the lack of response.

Never once blamed the seller for not receiving it.
If you actually read instead of just tossing in condescending comments, you'd see that my issue is with the seller not filing a claim (whether FedEx denied or not) as well as offering fruit and not following thru.

 

[DynamicReptilez]

No it is very relevant.
One of the possibilities of what could have happened here is that the snake was delivered and you have it.
Clearly, anything tending to prove or disprove your honesty can and should be taken by readers into account when they make up their minds for themselves.

Being unbiased, that is always a possibility.... However... That seems to be the ONLY thought you have.

 

[CwnAnnwn]

Honestly, I am trying to believe you. But you need to stop lying.

First you said they delivered it, but it was stolen, now you are saying the did not deliver it.

Fedex does not offer a live guarantee, a dead guarantee, a delivery guarantee, or anything close to that.

When you give FEDEX your package, they could mail it to Zimbabwe and call it delivered. They could have opened it up 3 seconds after you left, and auctioned off the python in building. And then called it delivered. Fedex does try to deliver each package. The guy that delivers in my area, actually places all the live stuff up front and keeps them air conditioning or heating on to keep them at 70 degrees. But...

If it was considered "alive animal" they have no responsibility what so ever.

Now I lets address your claim that the seller was offered credit. Credit for what? From who? It was not fedex. How did he get offered a credit on something that he did not file a claim on?

He could not have gotten offered anything. If he did not file a claim, fedex considers the packaged delivered.

I like how you half ass read EVERYTHING.
It was not delivered, I stayed it shows delivered but the truck never stopped at my address.
I also stated in another post that there were only a couple possibilities of what happened with a package that shows delivered, which included delivered, stolen by unknown, stolen by driver, misdelivered, advance scan and later delivery, and what seems to be yours and a couple others personal favorites...i kept it and have an elaborate plan to somehow sell it and keep money from a claim or chargeback.... Ok....
And lastly, the credit I'm talking about is the aforementioned credit the seller offered TO ME FROM HIM for my loss.

 

[SPJ]

The seller shipped a snake. Fed Ex shows it being delivered. The driver confirmed the house it was delivered to. You were home looking out the window. The snake is mysteriously stolen or lost.
It doesn't add up.

And I am trying to be on your side, and you treat me like that.

Let me try to make this clear. This has nothing to do with fedex. This has to do with you and the seller.

Fedex delivered the package. It may have be delivered to the moon, but if it says delivered. Then it was.

He can not file a claim, because the package was an live animal.

I still have not hear from the seller on this, you seem to want fedex to fix something that fedex did. Deleivered the package.

Let me make this clear to you. If it says delivered, as far as they are considered it was hand delivered on a pillow to you. They opened the box, handed you the snake as you placed it in the cage. They even got you tea and gave you a backrub.

 

[DynamicReptilez]

I have since closed (not deleted so nobody thinks I was hiding anything) my add regarding the male black pastel pied and am seeking a refund from the original breeder.
As far as THIS board thread.... I posted to simply notify those of you who may come across this seller so you were informed of my experiences dealing with him.
Looking at it and taking a step back, my police report nor my sale post make any difference to my original complaint and I am done posting and taking all of my time with this thread.
Let's not take into account that not ONE time has the seller got on here to speak, because a few of you have turned all of the attention to me. That's fine. I have no need to hide anything. But I will not tolerate my words being twisted and being rearranged or parts taken to suit your accusations and am therefore done with this thread.
I have done business with a couple individuals on here and they have had nothing but positive comments on me purchasing from them as I am not the scam artist several of you have tried to insinuate, this just happens to be the first time I have had a package not delivered, and also the first FedEx shipped animal. I have even had one snake delivered that was 300 grams under their stated weight (taking her out of being a possible breeder for the season) yet I didn't jump to the forums. I am fair and also gave the seller opportunity to make good on HIS offer. Thank you for the very few who offered knowledge WITHOUT the condescending and judgmental remarks.

You are out of your mind.

BTW All info would have been appreciated. Just didn't want you to leave out the officer's name.
If somebody claims to have spoken to a police officer (and filed a report), yet refuses to give the officer's name, it tells me something.

I tend to believe Brandon (OP). I feel like I'm taking crazy pills with people posting about what FedEx does and does not do. Have you all not had FedEx screw up royally? I once had a package delivered behind the neighbor's fence in the woods, marked as delivered to my house and the delivery driver swore it made it to me. I found it two weeks later as a wet mess when I was out for a walk. The seller has to make the claim, initiate and follow through... you're frustratingly powerless as the buyer. That's what OP tried to get done, and you absolutely can file a claim on a live animal, if only to investigate it further than your basic level he said she said. I'd like to see the transcripts, but I take him at his word. If the seller offered a live arrival guarantee, the seller needs to get to the bottom of it, not act apathetic. If the chargeback goes through now, that will finally force the end of it, but it didn't have to go this way.

If we believe OP:
Seller has not maintained contact after the sale
Seller has not fulfilled duties in filing the FedEx claim
Seller has done very little to satisfy customer

To me that justifies posting a negative experience thread. OP is out a lot of money so I don't blame him for considering it a very negative experience.

The misrepresented ball python has little to do with this - it's unfortunate but it looks like OP gets it, albeit a little slowly but whatever. I don't have experience with ringers so I couldn't tell you how obvious it is.

Just in case the sale ad on the "pied" (RINGER) gets deleted, since it was closed. I would still love to know who and what the breeder's name is, who sold you that snake as a "pied".

 

[hhmoore]

The last statement shown in that screen shot is interesting to me, as I PM'd him about his first ad....and explained WHY I felt the snake was a ringer.

I found it interesting, as well, since info, on Ringers & Pieds (& difference of), was given in this thread (prior to that last statement of his).
