I bought a single frag from him and had it shipped via USPS. It was dying as it arrived and gone in about a day since the initial buyer backed out, leaving the frag to be sitting for longer than initially expected. To cover, he sent me FOUR frags (one sps and 3 zoas) via UPS. Awesome person to do business with. Highly recommended

Ok so back in October i sent him a lot of really nice red shrooms and some radio active dragon eye polyps... proably some more stuff but i don't remember...
he promised to send me stuff each week and nothing!!!! then later this month he tells me another excuse.. anyway, u can have as many excuses as ya want, but to send a package for 10$ and some shrooms back to me is not much at all... whatever your issues are, then u shouldn't trade...
and then you have the nerve to come back to the site a month or two ago and try and sell some of your corals... thank you so much
i waited way too long, still nothing and no communication, so keep my corals.. i shouldn't have to wait 5 months for a return, you could have saved a 1$ a month and you would have $$ for the shipping.
i also helped him with fragging and let him know how to and what not, what a fkn waste, o well
you win some and loose some, i'll keep this professional instead of insulting you.

If she's ever on here again, do not do business with her! I originally gave her a good review because she promised to fix everything. I ordered from her in July when it was 87 degrees...she did not ship until the beginning of August....refused to use an ice pack after I told her it was 99+ degrees....did not email me when she finally did ship even though she promised tracking info....all coral melted away within first day....she promised to re-send...avoided contact for months....then blamed work, personal problems and other reasons for not getting my emails and pm's...promised to send new corals again and again even giving me dates....now will not respond at all. It has been 5 months of lies!
When I told her the mods asked me to file a claim, she got mad!
Here are some quotes from Khaari...

Again I am sorry they did not make it, at the very least if I cannot mail them this week it will give the frags more time to heal before being shipped out. I will also throw in a freebie morph for the long wait.
I asked her to wait a few weeks because of the extreme heat and she agreed. Without warning, she re-sent them. AGAIN without an ice pack and AGAIN without notice and, yes AGAIN they were melted and dying. Amazingly, one did survive after all of that. I was happy with that, but she still promised to re-ship replacements for the dead ones and some extras for all of my troubles. Then, no word until...

Give me a day or two to get them fragged for you and I will mail them out. Again I'm sorry.
No communication for a month. Here's what Khaari said in September......

This is what Khaari said on Oct. 30th.......
I am soooo sorry!!! I have not been able to get online due to issues at home. I do still have your zoos and I also have the greens. I just need to frag them and let them heal up before sending them out to you.

Bull!
This is when I told her the mods here on SWF asked me to file a dispute..........

Due to personal problems I have not been able to get any corals out in the mail, I am sorry you have had to wait so long but it was something I was going to do free of charge to you to replace corals that had absolutely no guarantee whatsoever. So you go right ahead and do what you feel you need to do. You already received the corals you paid for.
Nice, huh? She's right, there was no guarantee given. She just promised me countless times that she would replace the dead coral because it was her fault. She will not respond to email or pm's.

I bought 3 yumas for $100 from wrestler12. After he shipped the yumas he emailed me saying that they should heal soon.... why on earth would he ship ricordeas that were just fragged?!!? I would have told him to wait until they completely healed... well to make a long story short a couple weeks later all the yumas died and he wont respond back to my PM asking him to refund my money.

That sucks, but if a couple weeks had gone by before you asked for your money back, well that just isn't done. Even Live aquaria only holds to a week if it is even that. Maybe you can gain some experiance from this and if something ever happens again like that ask for a refund right away. I believe that most sellers only give a few hour guarantee because they don't really know what the buyers system parameters are or acclimation methods. That is logical. I guess some of the bigger places like live aquaria can give such a long time guarantee because they buy at cheap prices and sell at 3-4 times, maybe even more, prices. To be honest if I got ricordias, especially yumas, that died 2 weeks after getting them I certainly couldn't hold the seller responsible. I have gotten yumas from LRS that didn't take in 2 weeks and that is just the way it is with yumas. Most do fine, but just sometimes they don't, for no reason.
But all in all, they shouldn't have been shipped just after fragging them, ESPECIALLY YUMAS.

actually I emailed him right after i got the yumas to tell him one looks almost dead and then a couple day after that I told him one of them died and that the others weren't looking very healthy. We kept in contact for a while because i told him that maybe one of them will make it, but when the last yuma died he stopped sending me pm's...I'm sorry but he should have told me he was sending me coral that he just fragged!!! I thought they were healthy before he shipped them because he never told me he had just fragged it. I have 2 tanks full yumas that are doing great, so I know what I'm doing.... it's just hard for an already stressed coral to survive being shipped 2 days...

Isistius was great to deal with, the corals I got are beautiful, and he even gave me more than what I paid for! I may even try to find room for some of your shrooms
Too bad you are breaking down that tank
Will definitely do business again
Of course... if I can fit anymore in my tank haah

My experience with Isistius
[hr]
I had been in the market for a yellow tang for a while every thing I saw at the 3 lfs in my area were really not what I would call prime I then saw Isistius was tearing down his tank and had a tang for sale we talked and he assured me the tang was in excellent shape I went out on a limb and bought it not having bought a fish on line before I was a little skeptical as he informed me that he had never shipped a fish before well I must say the packaging was first rate the fish was triple bagged and it is about the best looking tang I have seen in a long I kind of wish he hand more fish to sell anyway let me say I am sure anything he has for sale in the future I will give a good long look as well as anyone else should all on line sales should be this good

yes he should have. and you dont have to be sorry. sending fresh cuts IMO is beyond shady unless the person knows they are fresh cuts. if he told you in the beggining that they were unhealed frags then there would be no room to complain. expercting unhealed frags of anything to survive two days is unreal. possible but unreal to expect. no flow, no light, improper heating, minute water volume.... a protozoan or bacterial infection is almost gauranteed.
I would bet money on slimers like ric. fl, ric. yuma, brain, fungia, discosomas, rhodactis, or almost any other lps OR softie, that they wouldnt survive two days in a bag floating in a tank (after being fresh cut) let alone in transit.
