PET WHEELS (unfortunately very unreliable)

[This is my Clone]

I only opened this thread as I was about to contact her to pick up a Royal for me. I think now I shall hold my horses until she has responded.

Amanda did contact us reguarding this and explained that she had a serious family illness and couldnt make hamm, we did offer to collect but heard nothing back


However, it does make me angry that there are so many people arranging collections from hamm without realy looking into the transport. After all, if i spent this kind of money on an animal i would collect it myself.

What we will not have on our coach is third party collections by our passengers who are being paid by the buyer, as we are a hobbiest trip not a commercial one and being paid to collect for other people makes it commercial, this infact means that all goods on board become liable for vat on entry to the UK.

We keep the space on the coach for our passengers!

After this information I think this thread is best locked at this point, until we can hear back from Pet Wheels on the situation. It sounds like there are mitigating circumstances, so we need the full story before any one makes to many assumptions.

EDIT: I see the people running pet wheels are online and have read the thread so will reopen in case they wish to respond.

believe me if i could of gone i would! so whats the next best thing you think? i know a reptile courier! and if thats the case then she at least should of known! because i certainly did not!

Steve you were notified the same time as I and others I assume, that Spirit was not going to Hamm due to her mother having been admitted to Hospital on Thursday with a serious brain problem for the 3rd time this year.

Please accept that there are some issues more important to her than your or my collections from Hamm and as I know her mother, as Spirit did attend school with my eldest,
believe me this is a terrible situation the whole family find themselves in.

Her mothers condition is of unknown cause and extremely serious, she is on here as a way of coping with yet another episode of her mothers illness. I speak with her via MSN, telephone and here and feel your actions were well out of order yesterday, threatening legal action for the £1500 you had paid out to a breeder.

If said breeder is American then my experience of their dealings tends to be very straight forward ie all is in writing and confirmed so that no one misunderstands the terms of their contract with said breeder, I've have bred, purchased and shown dogs State side and had many dealings with other breeders. It is far too sue happy a culture for someone not to know the terms prior to shipment, all most would ask of you in these circumstances is evidence to show the courier was unable to attend and what efforts you had made to find someone else to collect on your behalf.

I too am disappointed but accept that sometimes things in life get in our way and I can't always forsee others misfortune. I know I had made no payment to Spirit and I am assuming others hadn't either until the animals were here incase they weren't at Hamm when she got there.

So you wont let other people do 3rd party collections for friends, but its ok for you to do it?

It looks like he means collect 3rd party animals for money. Collecting for friends is ok.

I think you should have tried to sort it properly and get all the facts straight before jumping in with a thread.

Nothing but good things to say for Pet Wheels for me personally.

What about buying things to be sold through a shop or website?

Ahh, i see, makes more sense now.

if she has family issues this thread should be deleted imo
