On 03-7-08 I contacted Ryan on another forum about buying 4 of his P.regalis slings.He agreed to the request and I mailed him an overnight money order.On 03-18-08 I was very disappointed and shocked to receive my order in a Fed-Ex envolope with out a heat pack.Also,they were stuffed into a straw-like pen plugged on bothe ends.All 4 slings arrived dead. I called Ryan to discuss the poor shipping method and a refund.He negotiated a deal with me to replace my order with P.Formosa slings.He offered to send me an extra one for my troubles.Althought it sounded satisfactory,I received my order trom ryan this past saturday.The contents were only 4 P.formosa slings.Since Ryan had not kept his word,I called him to insist on a refund.He had a very bad attitude and threatened to keep the tarantulas if I mailed them back and furthermore insisted he would not refund my money.Needless to say I am very disappointed and skeptical about conducting any more business on the internet.Thank you ryan for being a lier

i think there should be a place were we post bad sellers and buyers on venomlist and other forms so that no other people get scrood

This is the "Buyer/Seller Reviews" forum, and is exactly the place you describe.


Back on topic....

Sorry for your bad luck.
I have personally had orders with Ryan, and everything has gone well. In my experience, and in the experience of other SCABIES members who I know personally, he has always been a good seller, with a green thumb for breeding.
His shipping methods have been questionable, but they have always worked in my knowledge.
I hope no one else has this experience.

Forced to sign up and defend myself. But I don't even need to do that in this case really.
My reply in this link to arachnoboards has plenty of info.

You don't have to defend yourself, Ryan....I'll let everyone on this forum know right here, right now that you are one of the best sellers on any forum. I received my free sub-adult via the same shipping method and had no problems with it...except maybe that he was too lively!! I enjoyed doing business with you and will certainly do so again!! To the OP in this thread - one Formosa sling is worth 3-4 Regalis'. I can't believe you're complaining about getting something worth triple what you had paid for. I think by now Ryan has supplied half of the folks in the hobby with T's and has had one complaint? Which shouldn't even be a complaint but still - that's a damn good track record! If anyone read the original post and is unsure about doing business with Ryan - don't be. He's great to work with, knows more about T's - expecially pokies - than anyone I've run across. He's helped me a great deal in this hobby and I will stand behind him. Rob

Just keep in mind there was not a transaction with this "karen" Nothing was ever sold. This "karen" never provided a tracking number as proof of a shipment on ether box, and that is because I never sent "karen" anything. This was just a case of someone being really bored and using their spare time to try and bash me. It's all water under the bridge though at this point because everyone on all the forums knows it was a fake complaint.

There is a place here for that but it shouldn't be posted there either since it's false. I don't even know why this post is still allowed to be on here. It ticks me off everytime I see it and I keep wondering why the mods here haven't removed it yet. Everyone knows that "Karen" was making it all up for whatever reason so remove this thread already! It's not fair to Ryan to have it still up even if most already know him and know it's pure BS. What about some newbie? They shouldn't be scared away from dealing with one of the most knowledgeable folks out there because of some ficticious BS. Just my opinion...rob

PS - this "Karen" contacted me not too long ago to try and purchase something from me - I let her know where she could go and to never contact me again. Hopefully others follow suit and she'll just go away eventually.
