    Thanks DHL!!

    A warning that may help some of you in the future. I ordered a trio of Wandering Garters. They were picked up from the breeder on 8/30/07 at 1:31 pm. Sent to me for next day delivery by DHL. I finally got them today...9/5/07. Five days late on a next day service. Needless to say the opening of this package was a horror. All three had died of apparent dehydration. Also needless to say, I will never purchase again if the shipment will be handled by DHL!

    oh Sid
    I'm so sorry
    that totally sucks
    I've had a bad experience with DHL shipping too
    not quite as bad as this
    but I've been avoiding them and sellers who use them

    The vendor, Tricountyexiotics has been great. They are sending a replacemeent thru a different carrier service. The thing that has upset me so terribly was the lack of caring when I contacted the carrier and of coarse the needless death of the Garters.
