Poor guy died about 48 hours after I received him. I think he tried to eat but either couldn't or his body couldn't handle food any more.

Check the forehead dent, caved in body, hips and pencil-thin tail. Very sad :confused:

Seller seems to believe "live arrival" covers him because the ray arrived alive. Any opinions?

that poor ray hadnt seen nutrition in awhile.look at the tail.simply nothing there.i'd like to see the picture of the ray that convinced you to buy it. it must have looked alot better.i'd never buy anything with a tail as thin as that unless it was super cheap and i thought i could save it. in this case it would have been a beauty if you could have nursed it back to health.was it a fresh import? in any case, it shouldnt have been sent in that condition..i sure wouldnt do business with that seller again!
 
Ouch! He didn't have a chance. Unless you got that ray for free, you deserve a full refund.
 
I hope you used a Credit Card. Is it the exact ray that you were sent a picture of. If not file a CC dispute under those grounds. All they can do is deny it. Mine was denied 4 times and every time I sent more evidence and finally they credited my account.....
That is disqusting. Whomever sold you that ray did so knowing it was not going to make it and should be put out of business and criminally charged. No different than a dog or cat, Negligence. But since it is a fish, Authorities look at it differently.

Sorry to see this happen to you Pete, hope you can work something out.
 
Ask for a full refund including the shipping costs. That poor ray has not had any food for a while. The seller had to know this. 10000% sellers fault. If he/she won't refund please post their info here so othere won't get screwed!
 
I am not a ray keeper, but I have viewed a lot of videos and pictures of healthy rays and that is in no way a healthy ray.
I would like to know the seller's info so I know never to order anything from them since if that is what they call "healthy", I would hate to see their other stock.
Sorry for your loss. Fight for a refund and keep us updated!
 
WOW !!!! That poor thing was sick:(
