John,
...I think you are right on. I guarantee live healthy arrival as long as someone is available to sign for the snakes when they arrive.

>>I was recently in negotiations to purchase an expensive boa. This animal was in the $7-$8,000 range. After getting close to finalizing the deal the seller advised me that he would guarantee live arrival but not if there was a carrier error. I told him i was uncomfortable with these terms and would not be able to purchase this animal. I would not take the risk with any animal, let alone one of that value, and run the risk of just being out of luck. I have been breeding/selling/shipping snakes for about 7 years now and have always guaranteed live arrival no matter what. I always thought that the industry standard was that the seller took on the shipping risk in order to reach a larger customer base. If this is no longer the case, that is something i would be very interested in finding out. I have purchased countless animals from many breeders, large and small, and was never told that there was no guarantee due to carrier error. I would appreciate all your opinions on this matter. Thanks, John Martino
