I know, bit of a issue I have with the site too. Basically, the original aim of the site was to give some basic info with each pet. Nothing too in-depth - just some general care information.

That's still the plan. ...technically it might be easier to create a list of what's for sale. Thanks for the input.

Couple of reasons, some people have a problem with PayPal - the other reason is the PayPal fees are too high.

Thanks ...tbh I'm as shocked about some of the posts as you guys are. I'd really like the members who've had problems to post the order number (or PM me with it or their name) so I can look in to it.

Exotic-Pets.co.uk still has a PayPal account - give Karen a call or drop her an e-mail, she might be able to sort something out for you.

Cheers, Phil

The only things i have to complain about is the prices on some of the animals especially spiders. £40 for a juvenile to sub adult H.Lividum is quite overpriced. Slings go for £5 and adults for £30/35. Also never heard of an aggressive M.robustum though i do suppose its a possibility but on the other hand you do get aggressive Chilies.

Were some more overpriced things in the past but i see that a lot has dropped in price so thats good. Also ive e-mailed before and never got a reply.

Lastly ive been put off in the past by a lot of people's experiences of receiving dead, wrong, ill animals with others waiting up to 3 months to actually get the animal despite being "on site".

id say £35 is steep for an adult lividum, not for pet shop prices but online sellers.

Hi Lucifus, the prices are reflected on what we get them in for - as we get better deals from our suppliers - so do you (that's why the change).

E-mail can be a bit tricky, we've had issues with e-mail in the past - sure most people know that they can "go missing" or blocked by spam filters etc; all received e-mail are answered.

Unless it's for Viagra or Penis Enlargement.

Yeah, these are news to me too - and I'm a firm believer that there isn't smoke without fire - so if I can get an order number or a name of the customer. I'll look in to it. We have records of EVERY sale since the site launched in September 2005.

And "if" there has been a genuine problem, I'm sure you guys will agree that it's only fair we can put our side of the story over - before being judged.

I can't do anything about hear-say - but I can with an order number.

So, please - if anyone has had a genuine problem with live stock, that they feel wasn't resolved. Post your order number.

I won't make your personal details public - just want to discuss the order in question.

Cheers, Phil
