youd think as a customer paying more than a tenner at their "online shop" theyd ship all their items listed, BROKEN OR NOT!!!

just makes me soo angry because i was looking forward to setting up their new home tonight.. i phoned them about the broken viv today at college, but didnt realise half the stuff didnt come until i got home!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

the sh!t will hit the fan tomorrow when i phone them :c ensor::cen sor:

anyway

how is everyone?

If you were done over by them once b4 then why on earth use them again? I for one would not use a company a second time if they had done me over the first time.

I've had mixed experiences with 888 Reptiles. With regular goods they're mostly OK, although it is very frustrating when you buy extra stuff to get your order total up only to find that the thing(s) you really needed never arrive because they weren't in stock! Other times I've had parts of an order not appear at all (with no refund listed) which I had to email them about; random refunds with no explanation when an order arrived (although I suspect this may have been related to some cork bark I ordered), and once when I ordered a hide they sent the next size up - which didn't fit in the RUB

I'm more annoyed with their frozen foods though, and in particular the mice. Several times I've ordered crawler and small mice from them; the first time the crawlers were bigger than the small so I ordered crawlers the next time. Of course the ones that arrived then were tiny, so next time I ordered all small mice, but when these arrived they were the same size as the smaller crawlers! They seem to be better with the larger rat sizes but I've still had issues with shrinking fuzzies. It's a shame because their prices are good for the amount I order and it's very convenient - I just wish they would stay consistent!

I think an online stock keeping system would help greatly, as would a 'Don't send unless everything is in stock' option when you make an order.
