This "purchase" was for $400. The three lots purchased a couple of years ago actually cost more than $600 total. The most recent purchase was from a "Genetic" company, not home stored semen. I was originally told they had shippers, but they were all out, so it might be a week or so. No problem there. After a few weeks, after hearing nothing, I called again and was told there was a shipper coming back in two days and my shipping would be lined up then. More time went by, phone messages were not returned, finally, after over 2 months with no response, I got a little upset. I tried one more phone call this morning, they actually picked up the phone, and said their shippers were all out, they were boo busy with AIing and flushing their own cows, etc., and if I would send them my address, they would send my money back. I emailed my address and mentioned that if they ever had a shipper available, I'd still buy the semen, but would pay for it when delivered. I also mentioned that it would be helpful if they had actually followed through with shipping plans or at least kept me updated. I just received a response saying I should read the terms of the sale, that the buyer is responsible for shipping and handling. I assumed that I would incur those costs. If I need to arrange for my own shipper, then tell me. I have 2 AI studs that I have worked with, I could have arranged for a shipper. When the seller tells me he's got shippers and will ship the semen as soon as he can, then I guess I believe him. If that doesn't work out, then at least have the decency to tell me, return my calls, or at least let me know what's going on. We'll see how soon my money is returned. The semen purchased a few years ago was from a "friend", though his on line sale. I just consider that a "should have know better" deal, I guess. I understand things always don't work perfect. Just please let us know what's going on occasionally.
