I will most definitely be ordering another house Gecko from Reptile City! Felton was awesome & the communication was on point! Any questions I had pertaining to my order he answered in the most RESPECTFUL MANNER. I don't see how some people are leaving negative & disrespectful reviews. He is very nice & he knows what he is doing! Thank you Felton! A1 customer satisfaction

“Bad Service, No Animal”

Nitaya B.

I ordered a southern toad mid November, with the extra $20 5-7 day shipping guarantee and didn't receive the toad. I waited 10 days before messaging the supplier, who said he would look into it. Another 5 days and I messaged again, asking for a refund because clearly I wasn't going to get my toad. He sent a 5 word email "will check with accounting now" another three days I messaged him again. I haven't gotten a reply. That was weeks ago--it's now January

Have been looking for a particular reptile species for a long time and found this store. I sent them an email asking if they could find it for me, and after a few days they replied that they don't have it but checked with their partners and were able to find it and delivered it to me if I am still interested.
This was a major red flag for me… How they can deliver an animal, usually you need to go to the store and pick it up. Then I decided to explore more about the company and I read tons of complaints from customers saying that they never received their orders. This was enough for me. I decided not to order. Maybe they could deliver it and everything would be alright, but this store has a pretty low customer satisfaction rating. They need to improve it if they really want to stay in this business...

The reptile came in healthy and attentive which is more than most reptile companies can say, but he wasn't listed as a live animal on the package and had no heat pack. The shipping was 35$ while they only had to pay 7.50$, it wasn't overnight shipping it wasn't listed as perishable and it didn't have a heat pad. When I called them and confronted them they dodged my questions and told me "we've always done things this way". I was disappointed in their lack of care for the animal during shipping
I wouldn't not recommend reptile city but they need to improve on their shipping and customer service

Terrible communication-they never get back to you even when they say they will. Charged me twice 3 days apart. Sent the wrong lizards when they finally arrived. Not a good experience, overall.

Although the yellow belly sliders arrived safe (and SUPER CUTE), I'm not impressed with the way they were packaged. They were SOOO excited to hop in the warm aquarium and take a swim. They were dry when they arrived, one was upside down and unable to move and the heating element in the box was cold.

So. I ordered a pacman frog from them. I get the notification it has shipped. And then I see in the same email when I click on the tracking that it has got here. They didn't tell me that it was actually shipped 3 days before it got here (which they're always supposed to do over night shipping for animals). And it says in the fine print that they cover amphibians in their warranty for three days... then go on to say that they don't cover frogs alrighty then. And then the worst part! There are NO live stickers or anything like that on there. No fragile. No live. No nothing. I get the box and the frog is in a small plastic container with a little sphagnum moss that is wet but the small container is packed in shredded paper which is in a box. I talked to the mail man and he didn't even know there was something alive in there.

I'm sorry reptilecity, but not impressed. Will not be purchasing from you again.

Bought 4 fire belly toads that were active and feeding the moment they got here so I was happy about that and were by far the best prices I could find online. But in my second order the southern toad that came never fed and died on the second day. Same thing happened to the person I got it with, both his died in the first few days.

Amazing prices and good selection.

Bought 4 fire belly toads with their bogo program for only $20! Best prices I can find and they allow for a selection in shipping for those who are hesitant in buying a pet due to scalding shipping costs.

We ordered two red eyed tree frogs from this service. They were supposed to be delivered within 30 days, it took them 34 days to get here. This wouldn't have been a huge issue had the seller communicated at all. We had to call multiple times before finally figuring out when our frogs would arrive, not to mention how rude the service rep was.

After the frogs finally did arrive in their poorly packaged unmarked box, we removed them and they both thankfully were in decent health. I say decent because 2 days later, one of the frogs has already died and the other appears to be in poor health.
