Description

I purchased a miniature schnauzer puppy from a lady in Crossville, Tn. for $400.00 on 09/04/25. The puppy was being delivered to me by Efficient Logistics Courier located in Tennessee. The main headquarters is located in Renton, Wa. phone number is 558-800-7577. The courier sent me a text message stating that I would need to rent a crate to ship the puppy in for $700.00 that was to be fully refunded when puppy was delivered. The next text message stated that I would need to pay for insurance in the amount of $1000.00. Supposedly, the lady I bought the puppy from paid some that fee and they waived $200.00 and I paid the remaining balance. This is as also to be refunded when the puppy was delivered. A $260.00 was also paid for a health certificate from their vet. This fee was also to be refunded when the puppy was delivered. Shipping of the puppy was to he today (09/19/25) and delivered to my home. I received a text message from the courier and a picture of a deputy sheriff from the courier. He proceeded to tell me they were delayed and would keep me posted. I immediately sent him a text telling him not to ask me for anymore money. I received a text saying that the puppy did not have the correct paper work to be traveling from state to state and customs is needing $750.00 for customs. I informed him that I was not paying anymore money and the puppy did not need to go through customs because he was being shipped from the state of Tennessee to Illinois. I have been threatened several times saying I would be charged $30,000.00 for pet abandonment, animal abuse and animal neglect. I have been sent pictures of the puppy a couple of times. All payments went through Apple Pay. I have saved text messages, phone numbers, and amounts that I paid. I asked several times to be refunded all of money but they refused. I want my money refunded back to me.
