To be fair family has to come first but a 5 min phone call even late at night wouldnt have hurt.

Thats absolutly disgusting, i wouldn't be as calm as you are and i'm glad you've named and shamed, its totally unacceptable. Issues or no issues she is advertising herself as a reputable courier she should of at least let you know that she was unable to collect your leo's in a suitable amount of time
I do hope you can get your money back or get your gecko's somehow.
Do keep us informed.

Agreed, family must come first in situations like this, but when someone operates a business like this dealing in livestock, then they also have a responsibility to their customers and their livestock to let them know what is happening. Surely someone could have posted a thread on here for Amanda had she asked.

Being paid for collecting can be classed as commercial and i wont have my passengers or animals put at risk for the sake of someone making a quick buck, collecting the odd animal for friends for no fee is ok, in fact took a box of mantids out to hamm for a uk breeder i know and deliverd them to hamm for a dutch guy without charging

I am sure Amanda had more inportant things on her mind and completely put everything else to the back of her mind, after all family must come first

To be honest Manda WOULD have notified folk regardless of circumstances I can't for one moment believe I would be the ONLY person she text to say she wasn't going due to mum being taken in again. She is also a single mum of a 3 yr old who had been sorted to go stay with grandparents, folk like me were also booked to have her other animals so that she had no worries whilst away.

She is a well raised consiencious person who takes her responsibilities seriously and I am sure she's still got text or emails to substansiate her side of things - wish I could spell as well as I can think lol.
