No - the entire post - "this bit?
We have no idea what was clearly stated by the buyer and seller prior to the transaction - Second - unless its published in the R2R marketplace in this scenario - I don't believe/think there is a standard 'DOA guarantee'. (at least I can't find it on this site). So - my point - it was probably not a good idea to say 'standard DOA policy' - by the seller - and if it was said - as the buyer - I would have asked 'what does that mean'? However if I was a lawyer - and I was writing a standard DOA guarantee - I would say - 'we are not responsible for delay in shipping, such as weather, etc unless it is due to a mistake made by our 'company'. And as I've said 4-5 times - I think the seller should have replaced the coral (or offered a refund) - and I would have made the buyer responsible for the shipping.Standard DOA guarantee: it is the seller who has responsibility of getting the animal to the buyer alive, unless specifically and clearly change ahead of time that is agreeable to both parties. There is nothing unethical about the the seller business practice, if it is clearly stated and agree by the buyer prior to the transaction, which was not done in this case,
