The Monkey Whisperer Jim Hammonds Rude Business Owner, Only Interested in Money Not The Customers Beware!!! St. Petersburg Florida

 To busy building cages? Too busy for customer service is something you need to change...and your attitude while ypu're at it.

 Appears that many whom have dealt or spoken to you have the same complaint: rude, belligerent and offensive. Of the many complaints I have read about you on message boards, groups and customer review sites it always comes down to the same complaints: rude, belligerent and offensive. You sold my wife a $75 cage for $400 that makes you a con artist as well since you tols her it was a "special cage" and not a common flight cage that they sell on Amazon. Shame on you Jim Hammonds for taking advantage of a woman who spent $3500 on a marmoset and you beat her out another $325. Oh and those silly diapers you sell for the marmosets are a waste of money next time demonstrate how to put one on.... its impossible.

 You were not ripped off we never did business? I was very busy working that day and you were really asking outlandish questions hasn't every business person had these people call and waste their time with frivolous questions I work hard and must focus on legitimate customers ? If you are interested in obtaining a POCKET MONKEY I have them and plenty of good references

 Could you send me reputable breeder. I am in Oklahoma and have already been inspected by fish and wildlife on my enclosure. I have copies of the western union paper work.

HOW CAN YOU MAKE A REPORT ON RIPPOFF REPORT WHEN HE DID'NT RIP YOU OFF?!?

 I have just purchased a marmoset off of Jim I found him on the Internet as soon as I called him I left message and he returned my call with in 5 minutes he explained everything to me about deposit etc. I drove 18 hours to go pick up my marmoset and explained to me everything I needed to transport her home on a heating pad to keep her warm.. He also did a demo of everything he was very nice and professional I do know he is very busy I have one and have to feed every 4 hours with syringe I can't even imagine how he does it raising all of them with barely no sleep being up every 4 hours I am sure he gets so many calls a day that people ask him silly questions and don't have intention on buying.. I want to thank him very much for all the help and knowledge he gives us and for such a healthy baby girl marmoset!!! I will be purchasing another one from him and will recommend him he was great to work with!!

 I read this review and thought I needed to give my experience with Jim Hammonds. I contacted Jim about us purchasing 2 marmosets from him. He explained the process to me that I would need to deposit $500 per monkey into his bank account and gave me his information. I didn't need to ask a ton of questions from him since I had already done my research via the Internet about these pets and had viewed his website numerous times. I understand it can be scary purchasing a pet or anything over the phone and then just going and putting money into an account however you all his information and his home address so you really are safe. If you have to ask a million questions then really maybe you are on the fence and not really committed to owning this pet. I also understand that as a small business he doesn't have time for people who are just looking or want to see monkeys. It isn't good for the monkeys or his time... These are very good pets but they require a lot of work just like an infant. I called Jim twice to change my date of pickup and he was accommodating and friendly with me. I have also texted with him numerous times and he replies within 24 hours which is an acceptable time frame since I understand his business isn't 24 hours a day. Jim called us a few days before we were to pick up our monkeys and discussed cages, food, etc with us. He even went and picked us up a cage since we hadn't had one. My wife picked up our monkeys and he was very friendly and helpful. I have texted him a few times to ask questions and he has always responded quickly since then and been available for all our follow up needs. He isnt the warm and fuzzy kind of guy over the phone but in person he is. Some people may not like that but he is an honest and fair business man. I would most definitely do business with him again and have recommended him to numerous friends.

My company is in good standing with the usda and florida fish & wildlife.we are very courteous and helpful to potential customers.we get a lot of frivolous calls in this type of business as you might imagine.i remember Alabamans call because she was asking some pretty outlandish questions bordering on a prank call that we get our fair share being we sell monkeys :) I gave her basic information and ask if I could call her back as I was in the middle of constructing cages and she got mad? After she became belligerent and rude I did inform her that we were not interested in her business,and that was all their was to it.if you are interested in our baby monkeys give us a call we welcome your business,thanks,Jim Hammonds
