I purchased a yellow belly slider turtle from them. Never received shipping/tracking info. Just my receipt was emailed. On the site the only option for shipping is over night, which I paid 39.95 for one turtle. My turtle never showed up the next day/days. None of my phone calls, emails, messages through facebook were replied. They are extremely had to get into contact with! In a sense I hope this is all just a scam, because the thought of a turtle dying in a box is just ugh. Just save your time and money!
Tortoise came in not eating and very lethargic. Had a snotty nose also. It was supposed to be a well started baby. It may not of been a hatchling, but, not well started for sure. Really hoping the little guy makes it.
I've heard of people ordering tortoises and getting very sick and unhealthy tortoises or turtles, the wrong turtles, or nothing at all. I ordered a crested gecko so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with having a good order, but shes arrived in seemingly pretty great health so far. The very big problem for me is the fact that it took a month or so for them to even ship it to me. I got a notice out of no where that my order had been completed and they were shipping it, so I checked my orders and I got a tracking number and it arrived the day after. If you get anything from here make sure not to forget about it or else you might have an animal in a box that you didn't even know was supposed to be arriving. Overall it was an ok experience, didn't think they would actually send my animal though.
We ordered a blue iguana hatchling (named Cyan now) who showed up in perfect health. They are well socialized and, even though iguanas are skittish, this guy calms down easily when startled. Building more trust every day, I'm able to gently handle them multiple times a day to help them remain comfortable with handling. Tortoise Town was very helpful and answered all of my questions as they came. We're in love with our new edition and very grateful to Tortoise Town for such a beautiful, captive bred animal.
GREAT SERVICE! We absolutely LOVE our new baby Hermann tortoise who arrived this week. She is perfect, interactive, and adored by my kids. It was easy to work with this company. They e-mailed back same day when I had questions. They shipped exactly when they said they would 2 days after I contacted them and our tortoise arrived the day that was scheduled packaged carefully. The phone number didn't work when I called, but e-mailing was easy and fast and actually more convenient, so I would try that if you have questions.
Great all around! Easy to talk to, get good feedback. Also learn about the care the tortoises are getting. They helped with directions to since I had a hard time finding them but we're super great to talk to you. Plan to keep in touch with them and then several weeks.
I've had no fewer than 7,000 questions about raising tortoises and the team of Brieanna, Joanna, Ray or Brian always respond quickly, kindly and very informatively! They have been a terrific resource even after the sale which is a true mark of a great company. If you are looking for a great place to buy an exotic - TortoiseTown and its people know their stuff!
I was doing my research on Albino Sulcutas. Found some breeders online. Came across Tortoise Town and they were so helpful and answered questions I had. We made our decision to go with a Well Started Tort. He showed up in perfect health. Right when we put in his new home, he was very active and began to eat right away. We just love this guy. Tortoise Town is the best! Thank you!
Dealing with company was hands down the worst experience with customer service I have ever had in my life. I ordered a Florida Box Turtle. First, they told me they didn't have my order at all. Then, they said they found it and "here is your tracking number", but there was no tracking number. So, I called to get it and when I did, the lady who answered the phone told me I was getting a Gulf Coast Box Turtle. I emailed and called all day and night, but no one responded until I received ONE email that didn't even make sense the next morning telling me to "please calm down". I'm not sure yet if I'm going to take legal recourse.
I would recommend this place if you're looking for a turtle! We received our the exact day we ask. We were dodging snow storms! The hatchling box turtle came healthy and he is eating already! The first night home! You guys made my daughter a very happy little girl!
Answer: Very difficult, Tortoise Town seldom does not answer the phones or emails
