never send without payment first

[ciafardo 4]

Yesterday i shipped 20 veileds to blank blank i did this without recieving payment first i new this was a bad idea and guess what they are lost because he has nothing at stake he will just sit there and wait for ups to redeliver them instead of tracking them down like he would be doing if he had paid for them!The address is right his personal name is on there to but its only half of the company name . i know what happen they tried to deliver them and sombody there turned them away because of the name how stupid can you be ? If this turns out bad god help him cause i will post anywhere i can on how they rip people off! So remember never ship anything until you recieve payment all these guys that want entire clutches on kingsnake DON'T DO IT IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!! i wouldn't have done it but im kinda stuck because of things that happened in my personal life i moved and im waiting on my house to be completed and i dont have the room thats why i did this in the first place.

Sorry to hear that man Keep me updated on how it goes. I would love to help out if I can in anyway.

Hope the chams are ok. Maybe you can call the shipper about this.

 

[laurie]

How old were the veileds? They seem pretty hardy, we will all hope they are ok. Let us know, we will wait with you.

wow! What a horrible situation... I really hope things work out!! Keep us posted!

 

[BocaJan]

Will the shipper return them to you?

 

[blackbetty]

Yea, if they reject them, they should come back you.. Do you know the person? Why would you ship without payment?

I have NEVER had a good experience with Kingsnake. Full of scammers.

 

[Lizardlover]

Ive had good experience with kingsnake. I got both my chams off of kingsnake, the key is to find someone local and arrange a pickup, or find a well known business, i would never order from a private breeder off of kingsnake

 

[blackbetty]

Yea but everyone resides in either FL or CA so local is easy for you.

 

[Lizardlover]

Youve got a point their.

They made it there and all are alive! Now lets see if i can get payment we are already having trouble with this part.i will keep this thread updated.

 

[Chase]

At least they arrived alive! They surely wouldn't have payed if they had died! You have a 50% Chance! Good Luck!!

 

[blackbetty]

I dont know. I say its less thatn 50%.. I dont see them willingly giving payment.. But Im crossing my fingers for ya..

 

[Syn]

Hoping for a happy ending. Goodluck.

I'd like to recommend people get half the payment up front, the other half when the animals arrive. Dont forget the buyer is possibly feeling uneasy too, sending money before they've received a "product". If half payment is sent up-front, you know the person is serious, already feeling good about you for making it easier on them, and chances are better they will pay the rest upon receipt.

generally, the buyer pays in full, shipping included. There is no way to know if a buyer is reputable. A buyer can easily find out if the seller is reputable. A buyer has nothing to lose, whereas a seller does.

The buyer risks doing business with a bad dealer/seller, but can reduce that by dealing with people with good reputations.

I sell very few animals a year, and in all cases, payment first, shipping included. If shipping is less, I'll refund the amount. If it's more, I eat it.

Sometimes, the person is on a forum, and I can trust them. Most of the time, it's some kid off of kingsnake - how do I know they'd pay me the rest? I don't.

Always get payment in full for goods sold online.

Hey Phil, sorry to hear about your situation. Im glad to hear they made it there and I would expect the company to pay you in full if it is one of the bigger ones asking for lots on Kingsnake. They probably want to make sure they arent getting ripped off too I think Sandras comment pretty much sums up what I was going to say. Let me know how it goes.

 

[Cainschams]

Glad everything turned out good for you! It will be nice to have someone near me working with the tavs also! Have you decided on what you are getting yet? Definatly get one of those gravid ladies!!!!!! I would like to get a few more but I should take care of moving and a few other things first We will see though Let me know what you get.
