FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY. I would give zero stars if I could, and I wish I had checked their BBB rating before doing business with them.
This company sent me dead Eastern Box Turtles...TWICE. I didn't know that Tortoise Town and CB Reptile are the SAME COMPANY (aka Next Generation Enterprises). I ordered from Tortoise Town first, which promises overnight delivery, but that didn't happen. The Eastern Box Turtles SHOWED UP DEAD (as in they baked to death on their way from NJ to AZ), and when I asked for a REFUND, THEY SAID NO, but they would send me another set of turtles. Why would I want a company that failed the first time to send me more turtles?
Meanwhile, I placed another order with CB Reptile for 2 Eastern Box Turtles. I didn't know at the time that they were the SAME COMPANY. These turtles also showed up dead, but this time I had the good sense to take their temperature. These turtles showed up several days after being ordered and were 105 DEGREES! The "cold pack" was 107 DEGREES!
Same deal. Wouldn't give me my money back. I had to dispute it through my credit card company. These people actually claimed that I was a "thief" for wanting my money back because I accepted the "Terms and Conditions." Turns out the Terms and Conditions say, "We guarantee they will arrive alive," so it was easy for Chase to go to bat, and I got my money back. I have pictures and videos of all of this because I wanted to be able to show how terrible it was.
It's just mean to send turtles a second time, knowing that they didn't show up alive the first time. Don't give them money because if something goes wrong, it's on you somehow, never mind the animals they ship.
Prompt communication and understanding, thank you tortoise town!
Turtle delivery today. Packaging was great. So far a happy turtle and happy little son to enjoy it
Quick and concise. Hatching arrived in excellent health.
Arrived as described and on time. Started eating shortly after opening.
It took a little time, but in the end we're very satisfied.
We just received our sweet little box turtle. He was alive and doing great! Thank you!
I was hoping for a starter email instruction but that didn't come. Also, I should've notified with the delivery status instead of just waiting for over a week until I called three times, left messages and also emailed. This is how you set proper expectations. The tortoise arrived healthy overall although a bit distressed. Perhaps a better insulation and portable warmer pack could've helped and not just the foam.
Answer: Very difficult, Tortoise Town seldom does not answer the phones or emails
Answer: I choose Tortoisetown, because of their video relating to the care of the turtles. Also, when I called they answered the phone and had great customer service.
