BEWARE!!! We do NOT recommend doing business with the following sellers, dealers and exporters for many reasons (inquire for details). Also, we included some organizations that do many things that we don't agree with. This is our opinion. You can do research and inquire for details to make up yours.

* Scroll down this page to view the list of companies and indivduals that we do NOT recommend doing business with.

Need to add a company or person to this list?

IF one or more of the following has happened to you, submit the form below:

• Ripped off (sent money, but seller refuses to ship the order and/or the delay is more than two weeks without the seller communicating to you to make amends)

• Badly packed shipment with many DOAs (and the seller doesn't give a credit, replacement, refund per their terms of service)

• Missexed, wrong size, wrong species (and the same conditions above)

• Very rude customer service and/or poor communications

*** You should attempt to contact the seller and give them a reasonable amount of time (2 weeks or less) to respond and make amends before submiting the below form. NO "knee-jerk" reactions. People can not always be open and responding to emails and phone calls 24/7. Be patient and reasonable. Sometimes, a seller has a legitimate reason for things and will make amends. IF not, fill out this form.
