this is what she told me Tuesday:

As for exotics... Supplier is awaiting flight info from his agent so I'm at his mercy. Tried threatening to cancel if I don't have crabs by next week but he offered me my money back!! He is the only supplier so can't allow that. Just have to hope my customers hang in a little longer. I feel terrible about the wait. And trust me, it's very stressful as im getting alot of nasty emails. Check back Thursday :)

I emailed her back yesterday as requested and haven't gotten a response-

****sigh****

When you file with paypal, does that cancel your order? I'm confused. I placed my order 8/3/2012.

Not automatically. What it does is alert paypal that there's a problem with the order, and they step in to mediate a solution. Sometimes that's a refund, but usually it forces the seller to communicate with the buyer directly and work out an agreed upon settlement for the order. Since she still wants to receive her order it'll be up to LHC on how they handle it, but hopefully they'll agree to deliver the crabs as promised.

However, the dispute has to be settled within 20 days, meaning that if LHC doesn't have the crabs to send she would have to refund the money, or they both could agree that the crabs will be sent when she has them. (However - and I could be wrong about this - I think if they both agree to wait then the purchase can't be disputed again if she never gets the crabs or something is wrong with them.)

Basically she can keep her money safe at the possible expense of the order, but if LHC is willing she could always reorder what she had to cancel.

Hmmm... Might do that too then. Thanks for clarifying Wodesorel.

Whoops. :oops: Saw the "a" on the end of your username and made an assumption so I've never checked your profile. Sorry!

I had to cancel my order. My mom is having heart problems and I'm going to have to help her out and work 3 jobs. So I won't have time for crabs with potential mites :-(

Hey crabby people. I don't get online much anymore, with the kids in school and me in the graduate program at UT... not a lot of free time to blog :( However, I did hear from LHC today and am doing my best to regurgitate her emails to those waiting on crabs.

This is what she told me today when I myself threatened to cancel my order:

I hear ya as I contemplated canceling as well especially with the refunds I'm giving bc of it. He emailed this am and said he will give me flight schedules in 2 days.
Issue is, if I cancel and burn this bridge there is noone else so I'll be out of business. I'm in a rough spot :(
