Anyone know how to do a search on the BOI?

[monkeygirl]

I ordered some goods off a company 4 days ago but havent heard back from them regarding shipping so I just wanted to do a search on the BOI on fauna classifieds to look them up but i cant find a search function, does anyone know how to do this? or is BOI only for animal sales not goods?

oh, and i cant phone them as i live in the UK and they are in the US so just wanted to do a general check on them since it seems an awful long time to not have a responce to any emails

Hmm. It is "spring break" here in the USA so it is possible they are on vacation.

If you don't hear from them by Monday then there is a good chance something went wrong with the ordering process. If you ordered by credit card, which you should always do when you don't have a good relationship or trust the place, especially across seas, you can check to see if the funds were charged to you.

If you really are worried by next week one of us here can call the place for you.

ah i didnt know it was spring break (or actually know what that is lol) ill leave it till monday if by then iv not heard back from them maybe someone can call them very quickly on my behalf. i paid via credit card so thats good at least

You may have to be logged in to use the search function on Fauna.

hmm, ok i registered and the search function appeared, it seems they have mainly bad reviews... hope im not one of the unlucky people

haha. spring break is usually about a week, more or less, off from school. just a little rest from all the studying and working. its a big deal around here. its usually full of wild crazy parties and beach bumming, except for some of the lame people (aka, me) who just have a whole week +the weekend of relaxing time on the couch.

word of advice, always check the reviews before ordering online. do some research on reputable sites before choosing a place to order from. sometimes its worth a couple extra dollars to make sure your product will indeed arrive, and in good shape.
if they dont send you the product and it was charged to your credit card you can take it up with the credit company and they usually take the charge off if presented with evidence.

the item in question ( a viv for my crestie) was highly recomended by a big USA breeder and he had the link to this company on his website so i just assumed it was trustworthy... still no word from him today and its the 5 day mark within which shipment was promised. Iv never seen this particular viv for sale anywhere else so bought it from them... still no responce to any of my emails either (well i sent 2 asking when i could expect to recieve my goods)

hmm, shame im the other side of the world

What is the BOI? Should I register my reptile site with them?

okay so maybe we are a little lame for relaxing on the couch during spring break, but I stay so busy most of the time, I enjoy laying around doing nothing much more anyways and besides, going to Mexico to get trashed was only interesting when I wasn't old enough to drink in the US!

I hope that your Viv shows up soon

Five day delivery doesn't seem very long for going overseas-it can take longer than that when getting something domestic-lol

I would however be concerned with no word from them once they had your money

Good Luck with getting your Viv

no i mean they havent even given me the email to say they have shipped my viv yet as they give you the tracking number and day to expect to recive it (supposedly)... 7 days now..
I have been charged for the viv though

 

[monkeygirl]

I decided to call them, not too sure mum will be very happy with the phone bill since he kept wondering off to get a pen or information but he said he thought it was being sent out that day and that he would call to confirm, but no call back and no shipping notice email still... hmm, ill wait a few days then call them again i think.

Let's please not have discussions about business practices here. You can definitely discuss them all you want on Fauna's BOI.

 

[monkeygirl]

Sorry, since iv not mentioned who the business was i thought it would be ok. I just wanted some advice was all, i thought that was ok in general discussion....
