keep getting burned online

[drtito]

I have placed 5 orders online from differnt companys and all have come wrong, what is it with online orders that I keep getting burned.

Some come incomplete whill others are sent in bad bags that leak and my fav is bad packing a cardborad box with no insulation or packing.

Is there anything I can do when ordering online to make sure I am getting my moneys worth ??

I think you know what I am going to say...LOL...This is why I ONLY BUY livestock from swf
I also only buy my dry goods from one other source...
Sorry for your troubles, but who you are buying from is probably the issue

I've never had a problem buying from this site, save for a couple of DOA's, which they took care of quickly and professionally. Maybe you should start buying from here?

I have ordered successfully from many sites...the key..you get what you pay for, if you go looking for the cheapest ..there is a reason why. Always order from reputable companies, look and see how long they have been in business. Ask if anyone you know has ever ordered from them.
SWF.com is in my opinion the best..however they don't have certian other critters that I want. Like purple feather duster clusters, and sea fans.

I try to order a few things at a time...this way it makes the shipping worth it...You have to order $99.99 to het the $19.99 shipping anyway, and we all know how fast 100 bucks goes in this hobby LOL
p.s......but remember you pay no taxes either.....so you kinda save on that/or consider it a trade off with the shipping

I will have to try again 100 plus shipping is a good deal, I will keep my fingers crossed tho. lately it seems like i am throwing money away for bad/badly shipped live stock.
Anyone got a lucky rabbits foot ?? ha ha j/k
Thanks for the replys everybody.
