Awhile back ago I recieved the Ferret Outfitters catalog. And although I was thrilled to get it (it is a pretty cool catalog) it was not put in an envelope to conseal it. (I and my undercover ferret live in a Ferret Free Zone - we tell everyone that he's really a chinchilla!!) Annoyed, I called them to complain. They didn't seen to be aware of the fact that my state was a FFZ. After making sure they were aware, I recently had thoughts of buying from them, thinking that, okay, they must know now and they won't do this type of thing again. When I called to place an order, I asked if it were possible to guarantee that any order I placed would be shipped in an unmarked box, or at least in an unconspcious box...the guy I was talking to basically said " uh.........I GUESS so......." Like I was nuts. I explained where I was calling from and that having a box sent to me with "FERRET" written all over it, wouldn't be cool. He was surprised to learn that ferrets are actually illegal in some states.....Is it just me who is having these experiences with Ferret Outfitters. They don't seem entirely on the ball and I'm really nervous to order from them. I think it's kind of rediculous that a company that sells ferrets isn't even knowledgable about them enough to know that in some states they are illegal! It could just be me, I tend to have bad luck this. People will rave about a company, and I'll end up with the ONE lemon. Jennifer & Loki (the ferret god of mischef...er..uh, I mean, chinchilla....)
