Did have some issues with my order, but I'd blame the post office or myself rather than stevedynastes. I definitely plan to do more business with him in the future (if he'd let me
)...
Overall I could tell he cared more for the beetles than the transaction, and that's what I value in ANY pet breeder first and foremost. Two thumbs up! Way up!

Traded larvae for larvae, good communication, and fast delivery.
He gave me more larvae in case some losses occurred during shipment, but not a single loss.
Will definitively do business again.
Thank you Stevedynastes.

This review is way overdue. Back in August of 2014 I did a trade with Satanas (then known as Stevedynastes). The details can be seen here: http://beetleforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2240 . There was a lot of back and forth through Private Message and with each reply Satanas/Stevedynastes became more and more insulting, condescending and negative. I didn't want to deal with him anymore and once his part of the trade arrived (it was delayed), I returned the box unopened.
The bottom line with Santanas/Stevedynastes is, that if everything goes his way, he is happy and polite, and that can be seen by the reviews above. In our first PM exchanges he was kind and helpful towards me. But once he got a box of supposedly DOA animals, he became extremely negative. I was not given the chance to fix things before he wrote a negative review. Even on websites like Ebay and Amazon, they tell buyers to talk to the seller first, and give them a chance to remedy the situation. That is simple exchange etiquette. I was treated rudely and unfairly by Satanas/Stevedynastes.
I am posting this as a warning, so others know what to expect if things go wrong with Santanas/Stevdynastes trade deals.

1) In regard to my reputation, I have flawless positive reviews on every other animal and plant forum I have ever sold, bought and traded on.
2) The amount of larvae (beetles were never apart of the trade) that were agreed upon was sent. The extras added were supposedly not there, but that is irrelevant as the terms of the trade were met.
The packaging was standard invertebrate packaging that others and myself normally use. Satanas/Stevedynastes claims the box was in good shape, however the containers inside were crushed . . . that does not make any sense.
Air holes aren't often needed when shipping invertebrates (as they use little oxygen) but since only one (out of two) containers lacked air holes and all arrive dead, that point is, again, irrelevant.
3) When someone is frustrated, they should act in a respectful and mature manner to get the issue fixed. There is no need to act out in frustration and ignore trade etiquette. I too, am glad his review about me still stands. It only furthers how he handles trade mishaps and shows this forum his true character: Negative, Condescending, and Unprofessional.
This is my last interaction with you Satanas/Stevdynastes and I will not respond to any further communications. You are now blocked and ignored. Good Bye.
