Here is the whole gory story. Has anyone else had something like this happen?
I sold a horse around the 28th of the month. The buyer contacted and contracted with a shipper the 2nd. I got the horses health and coggins done. Shipper supposed to pick the horse up the 14th, then the 15th then the 16th, then after the 25th, then the 27th, and now we are moving into another month.
Oh dear! Health paper expiring! I contacted the shipper and was told they would pay for the new health paper and board starting the first of the month. Well, then it's the 1st and they are going to pick up the horse....oh no, it's the 4th or the 5th then it's going to be after the 25th again. I and the buyer are fit to be tied.
The shipper offers to refund the buyer her deposit and she accepts. I contact the shipper and tell them I am charging them board till the day they were out of contract with the buyer. They are all agreeable and will get a check right out in the mail. Well, that was 3 weeks ago. Buyer nor I have received any money. NOW we are getting the old 'the check is in the mail' routine!
I have never, ever had a shipper do this! Have you?
