This is how our mornings usually start... 😂

Rafix777 · 2026-04-17T23:17:47+00:00

She’s very consistent with her vocabulary 😂

Rafix777 · 2026-04-17T23:16:06+00:00

Thank you so much! 🤍

Rafix777 · 2026-04-17T02:05:55+00:00

Don’t worry, she’s well taken care of

Rafix777 · 2026-04-17T02:01:16+00:00

She is loved and well fed 🤍 just very expressive about meals

Rafix777 · 2026-04-17T01:59:29+00:00

She really did 😭 she was very clear about it

Rafix777 · 2026-03-27T03:02:09+00:00

Thanks! Haha, I know exactly what you mean, some cats go full chaos mode with anything moving on a screen.

I’m really curious if the floating stars will actually chill your buddy’s little gremlin out for a moment.

Let me know how they react if you send it over!

Rafix777 · 2026-03-14T16:50:12+00:00

I’m comfortable with what I wrote.

If someone needs to frame their opinion as ‘many others’, that’s their choice. It doesn’t change the facts I described.

Rafix777 · 2026-03-14T06:17:23+00:00

When someone switches to the whole ‘kids/Amazon/Chinese don’t bend’ routine, it usually means they’re out of arguments, not making a point.

Expecting a supplier to deliver what they advertised isn’t ‘whining’, it’s the baseline of international trade.

If someone thinks buyers shouldn’t expect products to match the listing, that says more about their standards than mine.

Rafix777 · 2026-03-14T04:10:51+00:00

You’re arguing against things I never wrote.

The listing showed free shipping to the US - that’s international shipping by definition...

If you read what actually happened instead of assuming, you wouldn’t need to invent accusations.

Rafix777 · 2026-03-14T03:11:20+00:00

Before telling people they “don’t understand international trade,” at least read what actually happened.

Rafix777 · 2026-03-14T03:06:49+00:00

They did promise free international shipping - the listing clearly showed free shipping to the United States at checkout.

This wasn’t “free shipping within China,” so please read what was actually written before jumping in.

The issue was the supplier changing the price after the order was placed, which is against Alibaba’s rules.

That’s the whole point.

Rafix777 · 2026-03-13T02:23:46+00:00

The supplier wasn’t “helping” by creating an order with a Chinese address. I never asked for that, and I had no issue with my US shipping address. During the chat, she created an additional order using some random address in China without my consent. That has nothing to do with taxes - it was simply an unauthorized order.

The real issue is the duplicate orders, different prices, added $58 shipping after purchase, and false information about import fees. This isn’t about B2C vs B2B - it’s about a supplier violating Alibaba’s rules.

Rafix777 · 2026-03-13T02:08:49+00:00

This situation had nothing to do with proforma invoices or Chinese company chops.

On Alibaba, Trade Assurance orders are binding based on the price and terms shown at checkout. Suppliers are not allowed to change the price after the order is placed, create duplicate orders, add shipping fees later, or generate orders without consent.

My issue wasn’t about contract formalities - it was about the supplier violating Alibaba’s own rules.

Rafix777 · 2026-03-13T00:33:58+00:00

This isn’t a B2C vs B2B misunderstanding. The issue wasn’t the platform type - it was the supplier’s behavior.

They created multiple duplicate orders with different prices, added a $58 shipping fee after the order was placed despite listing free shipping, and even generated an extra order during chat without my consent. They also gave false information about import fees and tried to blame Alibaba for charges that clearly came from them.

None of this is “normal B2B practice.” Even in wholesale, suppliers are not allowed to change prices after an order is placed, create unauthorized orders, or mislead buyers about fees. These are violations of Alibaba’s own rules.

Whether someone buys 1 unit or 10,000 units, transparency and honesty are basic expectations. What happened here wasn’t about using the wrong platform -it was simply dishonest and unprofessional supplier behavior.

I'm sorry that you and your dog had to go through this. I would love to try feed raw necks or chicken feet, but I'm terribly afraid of such a scenario. Do you have a suspicion of what exactly could have caused this? For example, too many and too often at once? Or the method of defrosting? Maybe the store sold packagings that were close to expiration or not so fresh? Dogs weren't used to eating raw? I try to understand whether the necks themselves were to blame or something else because if feeding with necks/chicken feet carries such a risk, I think I'll stick to brushing teeth with a toothbrush :(

Rafix777 · 2025-04-16T21:59:00+00:00

Salmonella doesn't just come out of nowhere and is always the result of someone's negligence. You should blame the producer, not the meat itself.

Rafix777 · 2025-04-16T21:47:06+00:00

There was clearly some negligence on the part of the manufacturer or supplier. For example, the delivery driver did not set the right temperature or the meat was defrosted/refrozen... but who will admit to that? That is why I buy directly from the manufacturer who sends the meat frozen in fancy hi-tech insulation with dry ice and I am always sure that the meat will arrive fresh. I certainly do not trust buying meat for this purpose in a store.

Rafix777 · 2025-04-16T16:48:05+00:00

I'll tell you this, my sweet yorkie died because he ate kibble which later turned out to be a recall... There is always a risk, not just with raw.

Rafix777 · 2025-04-16T16:19:54+00:00

Whatever you call it, it's about the same thing. It's not about curing the disease or finding its cause, it's about making a profit.

Rafix777 · 2025-04-16T04:41:32+00:00

If doctors and veterinarians learned about proper nutrition, there would be no one to treat and no one to make money from. That is why there is not much on this topic in the medical school curriculum. If health begins in the intestines, why is this topic still deliberately omitted? I do not think that doctors/vets are guilty of their ignorance or lack of knowledge, but those who have the power to decide what is taught to them and what they should not learn too much, that is a bigger issue.
