The vendor from whom I originally ordered a Habitrail Mini and some accessories has failed to deliver.<\/p>
I'd placed an order on 08 October with Fresh Marine<\/a>, I was provided with a URL<\/abbr> for checking on the status of my order. When, after ten days, the Mini and accessories had not arrived, I went to the page and discovered that the order status was simply blank, so I sent an e.mail query. To-day I received e.mail stating I have found another vendor, Critter-Cages<\/a>, offering the same products, and at lower prices. And, fortunately, I do have the Crittertrail Mini Two<\/a>, and I even recently acquired Expansion Kit 3<\/a>; so there will be much for the mouse when I get one, even if I don't have a Habitrail.<\/p> For what it's worth, my orders from Better Homes & Gardens<\/a> (Crittertrail Mini Two<\/a>), UPCO<\/abbr><\/a> (water bottles), and PetCo<\/a> (expansion kit<\/a>) have all gone well.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The vendor from whom I originally ordered a Habitrail Mini and some accessories has failed to deliver.

The order status page could have reported that they were waiting on word from Hagen<\/a>, were that the case. It appears that Fresh Marine<\/a> were completely inert<\/em> until my query.<\/p>
