Tanya,
...So sorry to hear this. How were they packed and how were they shipped? Overnight shipping in insulated boxes is the ONYL responsible way to ship animals. I have had poor service from virtually all the shipping companies. You just have to plan on them screwing something up and then make your shipping as fool proof as possible to provide safe shipping in spite of their poor service. When shipping you have to plan early in the week shipping and no shipping on weeks with holidays and ship priority overnight and check the weather and use hot or ice packs and still be very careful. These things are all the responsibility of the seller. It has been several years since I lost an animal in shipping but it still bothers me. Breeders and dealers who do not plan for the problems and fool proof their shipments to protect the animals are a curse on this hobby/business.

>>All my T's arrived DOA as expected, it sat in a hot van with temps over 100* and the over the holiday, got here 5 days later, the ice pack was the sun and the delivery company won't ready the tempreature on the box to help out, so i will wait until mother nature cools down and find another company to go with.
>>Until then i think about them with a heavy heart.
