Did they really get a refund? I ordered my turtles over a year ago and never received them or a refund. Last time I attempted to contact your store I was hung up on. Still waiting for my refund or my turtles. Well, my refund. As I ordered them so long that I have since relocated.

First I would like to point out to the turtleshack.com that everything except for you "screen name" is confidenial. So if that turtle in the photo isnt one from your place of business then how would you even know who was writing the report?
Sencondly I would like to put on record right here, right now, that you have TERRIBLE customer service. It is very clear to everyone that you rip off that all you care about is money. Not turtles, not customers, just money. I am personally against animal abuse/neglect. From my PERSONAL experience from the company plus all of the reviews that I have read in regards to turtleshack.com you people seem to always send sick turtles to people. In my opinion the animals are more important then your customers but in order for a company to run efficiently the customers should be improtant in order for you to make the money.
Quite francally your representatives are very rude and ignorant. If you hired them because their family or friends (which is the only scenario that actually makes sence as to why they are still employed) Then I suggest rethinking the decision of having them work for you. I have NEVER been so apalled by any customer service in my life. Rude people that don't solve any problems.
You can get as mad as you want for people speaking the truth, but you can never stop them. Because the truth of the matter is that you people are scam artists who don't treat your animals humanly no matter what you try to lie by saying. It discusts me as well as many others and it is our RIGHT to speak out against you, and to try and stop other people from going on with this monstrosity you call a business.

Turtleshack.com, and their up surd customer service.

I have had similar issues with this online company like Jamison has. As far as a 20% processing/restocking fee, I ordered my turtles on Thursday, which, by the way means that my turtles wouldn't have been shipped until the following Monday!! So when I called your companies toll free number on Saturday, please inform me of what processing or restocking you did, because obviously you didn't touch the turtle, and wouldn't have touched them until Monday. Also, when I had canceled my order on Saturday, because I was so disappointed and upset with your company, your representative was one of the rudest people I have ever spoken to, which if you haven't noticed, its not good to hire rude people especially if their representing your company. I was also never informed over the phone by your rude employee that there was a 20% fee, which is part of the "customer service" portion of your employees job description, she also disconnected with me. I was extremely upset over the phone, however, I never once raised my voice (she did), I never once used profanity, and I never would have disconnected on her (she did.) I worked in a call center for years, if someone in my center would've acted like the woman I spoke to, they would've been immediately walked out of the office and discharged. The way you mislead your customers, with your "AWESOME LOW PRICES!" is sickening. I will never purchase a thing from this website, I have already reported them to the better business bureau, and just an FYI, your website, as well as your company is the epitome of terrible. Hopefully this company gets closed down for its terrible service, and for selling turtles to people as pets, when they are not to be bought as such, as i did research for this website, and all the reviews i've read, none have been good reviews, and all the customers bought the turtles as pets. Your webiste also isn't a Facebook page, you cant just reject a testimony because it wasn't good, after I wrote my testimony, i recieved a sentence that said, and I quote "Your testimonial has been successfully submitted and will be added to our other testimonials as soon as we approve it" Oh, okay, well obviously only the god reviews get placed on the website, your customers deserve to know the truth, and you wont have it, I'm pretty sure its just your employees who write false reports of how "GREAT" and "AMAZING" your company is. You people make me sick.

First, I would like to begin by saying that this is a blatant misrepresentation of the facts. Second, I would like to acknowledge that this individual did in fact receive a full refund for his transaction. Thirdly, the pictures posted with this customer;s complaint are not of an animal that this individual recieved from our Company. They are a mere fabrication to make this misrepresentation seem believable. And finally, all of our terms and conditions are clearly disclosed for each and every individual to read, before processing their order for shipment. In fact our site even requires that these aforementioned terms and conditions are read and agreed to, before an order can be successfully submitted. These terms and conditions clearly state that a failure to read does in no way make them null and void. This customer's desire to obtain an animal from us was so great that he blantantly ignored all the necessary information regarding shipping practices for live animals. Here at Turtleshack.com we do our very best to provide high quality reptiles at the lowest possible prices to illustrate to our customers that we value their business. With that said, all live animals are required to be shipped using Next Day Air service. This requirement is established with the animals well being in mind. Unfortuantely, Next Day Air shipping can be somewhat costly, in comparison to a shipping method that may keep your package in transit for 7 days as it travels through several states in less than optimal traveling conditions. Regrettably, we are not willing to expose our animals to these inhumane and horrific shipping practices, in order to save this individual $20-$30. As I previously stated, this idividual was issued a full refund for his purchase. At absoultely no point did any representative from our company use profanities or treat this individual inappropriately. Nevertheless, I have received multiple emails from this individual exhibiting the same behavior that he has accused others of. The oversight provided by Rip-Off report should be more two sided. I understand that it is impossible for your organization to investigate all reports filed, but their should be some level of ovesight, before future blantant misrepresentations occur.
