About submitting of $150 deposit to reserve your puppy -   

November 10, 2009

(This payment info applies to both puppies that are on the way and any puppies

that we may still have from a previous litter.  Thank you.)

Different ones have asked how to reserve a puppy from the upcoming litters.  It's important that you email or call us right away, before mailing in your deposit, so that your place in line will be held immediately.  In that email or during that phone conversation, please tell us if you're looking for a male or female, and  what litter you're particularly interested in, if any.   We also need your name, address, phone number and your nearest major airport if you puppy is flying to you.  This will enable me to do my job on this end.  Thank you.    :o)

Then we ask that you mail either a personal check or money order/cashier's check for the $150 deposit.  It needs to be made out to me...Evelyn Smith, and be mailed to me at P. O. Box 39, Beaver City, NE 68926.  If you are sending it overnight and needing a physical address, it is 520 Seventh Street, Beaver City, NE 68926.

Reason for Payment Acceptance Change

in regards to PayPal/credit card payments -

We had been receiving credit card payments and funds through our customers' PayPal funds, but have decided not to continue to do that.  Here is the reason.  We have had awful stress in dealing with PayPal. We've lost money and so have our previous customers.  When PayPal removes funds from an account, even if it's proven that they made a mistake, they continue to hold the money on and on.  We've been forced to go through the Better Business Bureau and even through the NE State Attorney General's Office, in order to get PayPal to release the funds.  They will claim that they have, and yet the credit is never reflected in our PayPal balance!  So there are times that you never get the money back at all.  Then other times you do, but it's a long hassle.  It's so frustrating when they have even admitted that it's their mistake but "according to PayPal policy, we will continue to hold your funds for up to 75 days."  Bad deal when it means pulling money out of our bank account and running the risk of things bouncing when it's truly to be our money, free and clear!  As mentioned above, sometimes in the end, you simply do not get it back.  When this happens, we lose hundreds of dollars with one whack.  It's happened at least 4 times now, and we've decided we simply can not continue to deal with it.  All of the process of submitting this evidence and that evidence, while in vain our customer is trying to get PayPal to give us the money that they have taken from them, is wasted time and nervous energy!  It's simply not right and I've read and heard of others' experiences and claims that PayPal is fraudulent in the way they do.  It would look that way from what our experience has been.  We've also had customers and other family members who have lost money with PayPal and never gotten it back. 

To minimize our loss and our stress, we now ask that all payments(checks, money orders or cashier checks) be mailed to us at the above name and address.  It's simply better and more secure.  I will happily mail, email or fax detailed receipts to anyone who desires them, when making a payment through the mail.  Just request that you receive it.  That is no problem.  As you know, the receipts will stand in court, so you are truly protected.  If you have more questions regarding this, just ask.
