Had everything set up to "buy" a precious pup named Ellie. Then I got red flags when they supposedly dropped the dog off at the pet transport before I even made any type of payment - which I told them wouldn't be done until tomorrow anyway.
I got email saying to contact safepetairways and even had a website associated with it. Then I received the below email from the "pet transport"

TRANSFER TYPE AIM OF TRANSFER CHARGES DURATION FOR ACTIVATION
1. Commercial Transfer Customer - Company $50 12 hours activation
2.. Casual Transfer To relative or Friend $25 15 minutes activation
From the above we can conclude that the commercial transfer type is more expensive and slowest, so we do usually advice our customers to use the second transfer option, which is the casual transfer type, since it is cheaper and fastest. So If you are asked the purpose or why the transfer, say it is a for a relative or friend to avoid high charges and thereby prompting a quick payment activation.
