Then final payment would be due upon delivery. Well I did just that I sent payment was sent conformation that the puppy was reserved and could be delivered to me the next day on 07/06/2024 by Noon. On day of delivery I contacted the sell and was told by her that she had had an accident and would not be able to delivery my puppy but she could just ship the puppy with the money $250 I had already paid her to ship to puppy to me and it would be delivered to my door step and that there would be no additional charge and she would send me a tracking well when I received the tracking number I was ask to pay another $210 for a medical crate for transport. I contacted the seller again and told her I thought you said there would be no more fee's.
