I second this. Almost everything this guys does is either deceptive (Shipping costs and made-up new subspecies) or outright illegal (no permits or papers). john Is it illegal to charge 19$ for shiping of pinned specimens? If so, I will end up in jail:) Is it illegal to name a new ssp. of a butterfly? Based on the extensive understanding of the matter and based on a field work carried in Mexico? If so, I will end up in jail:) I wish to know, who is john? He certainly must have knowledge on everything. So john, why don't you tell you your TRUE name and let us know, how did I hurt your feelings? In the order I presented them - People expect shipping from the US or Canada, then get socked with charges from the czech republic which always seemed a bit dishonest... It's illegal to take insects out of Mexico without an insect collecting permit and an export permit. Let's see the actual paper where you re-describe Morpho theseus oaxacensis as a new subspecies. I could never find your new name indexed in the Zoological Record. But it was a great way to get extremely high prices for a bug that is locally common - no? My true name is a secret - but John might be a solid guess, and then you have to use your clown decoder ring to assess the hidden nombre within my user name - "J shuey" to guess the surname... ... for your benefit, I've provided some clues that may help you decipher the secret.And you have never hurt my feelings - to the contrary - I find you quite entertaining!!! You have, however, damaged the community by ignoring laws, being generally disrespectable, and disrespecting normal protocol. I've never been a dupe, so I never ordered from you. But I was the guy, back a few years ago when Clark booted you from Insect net, who passed your name onward to friends at universities in Mexico as a poacher of insects. Your secret Friend, nom de plume  |

For me the bottom line is this – if you supply material that on arrival does not meet the buyer’s expectations you should do all possible to resolve the matter, including offering to replace or fully refund the purchase. It’s that simple. Providing clear, large photos of a specimen and an honest and detailed description of the condition (like if any repairs have been made, for example), goes a long way towards avoiding possible misunderstandings. Also, where the material will be shipped from should be clearly made known. Giving repeated assurances that a specimen has not in any way been repaired when it has, at best reflects poor business processes/practice. At worst deception. Even worse is sending a photo of a specimen being offered and then not sending that specimen but one of inferior quality. My experience with Peter involved both. I can fully back up this statement with clear and compelling evidence. Peter’s explanation regarding the repairs to both tails being spotted after the specimen was received was that it was only minor and that it was still a beautiful specimen. As for “switching” a specimen, Peter’s explanation was that because I requested a discount and he agreed, then that was the reason for him not sending the A1+ specimen purchased and instead an A1/A1- example! As for his slight regarding Kirk Williams, I can personally attest that Kirk was also deceived by Peter. In my experience Peter accepts absolutely no responsibility for anything. He is always right. The customer is always wrong. On a note aside and as further testament to Peter’s unprofessional business dealings, I find him outlining in this forum/thread all the specimens I purchased from him together with prices paid absolutely unacceptable and a breach of customer privacy.

“What u name?”
Search the effing forums. Look at member profiles. Maybe even look at the Sig lines that have members’ websites.
A specimen advertised for sale in USA that comes with no import paperwork is illegal. Specimens that are captured and/ or sold illegally are in violation of Lacey Act and are illegal.
As such, US buyers buying from an American company that receive contraband specimens should consider the specimens to be unsolicited deliveries; according to US law, the recipient may be keep or discard (no requirement to return) and must be provided a refund.

What about the seller's privacy. Did you not breach seller's privacy and now you expect customer's privacy? Didn't you find absolutely unacceptable your breach of seller's privacy, when for 9 years you and williams keep reminding the World, that you wanted too much music for little money? That is exactly what reminds me of dealing with you regarding the Papilio multicaudatus female. You wanted A1+ female specimen, but paid the price of an A1/A1- example and you keep reminding the World, just how little music you got for your little money. Don't you find this comparison accurate?

You did not send what was agreed and paid for Peter. Full stop. It is deceitful to offer an A1+ specimen, then once payment has been made send what you consider is fair and reasonable to you. It is false advertising. It is misrepresentation. It is obtaining money by deceit. In most countries it is considered a criminal offence. I have said it before and will say it again - since you have again surfaced - anyone considering buying specimens from you should think carefully and do their own due diligence. As the age old saying goes "buyer beware".
