Right some good news. They have just this minute arrived!
They were posted out Royal mail recorded delivery first class on the 2/10/06/. Have arrived at 12.55 on the 6/10/06.
Sadly lots of dead ones due to being in royal mails care for so long, the apple slices were present and had created lots of humidity, [i]NOT JORGES FAULT, but Royal mails fault [color=blue]I say without prejudice and allegedly etc.
So thank you Jorge, I am glad it turned out OK ish in the end. I would be happy to place further orders with you subject to Royal Mail PULLING THEIR FINGERS OUT.

APOLOGIES TO ALL FOR ANY ANGUISH THAT THIS SAGA HAS CAUSED.

My main concern was when communication ceased as this raised my suspicions.


Original Post by Rick below

Has anyone ordered from this guy advertising on the classifieds? Is he genuine does anyone know?

I ordered a few roaches from him meant to be sent out Monday not arrived, emailed him he said he would chase it up, hmmmmmmm! Which gives him enough time for the cheque to clear! If they arrive I will post to that effect.

Rick
I have dealt with Dan Lay in the past.
If everyone was as sincere as him this hobby would be a better place.
Can't believe he has not sent them,may be a logistical problem.
I am sure he will get back to you.

Right
There seems to be some confusion here.
I went into the web site and Dans came up,however i have also dealt with Jorge and purchased some dubia from him.
I have to say that the quantities and quality of his dubia were very good.
I would shoot an email to Dan and see if he is affiliated with Jorge.
Rick,i hope this pans out OK.

George Millet as requested per email payment instructions, the guy for whatever reason told me he is Spanish. Not that, that has much to do with anything. Just strikes me as odd that he ceased contact just about the time the cheque would have taken to clear! Perhaps I am being over cautious hmmmmm.

Well I went into the website no email addy on it, as I wanted to ask Dan Lay if he has / is anything to do with this George guy. But no email addy for Dan LAY. This George has linked via his advert to the www.nephrurus.com site. I really hope I am being overly suspicious here for no reason. If this George guy has nothing to do with Dan Lay then Dan needs to be told, which I have now done as I got his email from his profile.

Hello Rick ,
Here is my work address :
Cheque Payable to Jorge Millet ( Jorge is my spanish name means George)
Jorge Millet
(address editted out Wink Scott W)

If you access the email on the advert it is: Bunopus@aol.com <Bunopus@aol.com>

Here we go again!
Reply from Dan

Morning.
George is a friend of mine, but I have no idea why he posts my website in
his advert. I'll speak with him.
Thanks,
Dan

I am now seriously fckd off! First Radley, then the worm people Laughing , now this and it smells of dead rats! Evil or Very Mad

Scott I think this blokes advert should be removed to save others being ripped off, or at least until the matter is resolved or an explanation given plus the roaches. Probably too late the advert has been running for ages.
