Misty, do not call the rep until after your test package has passed inspection. The people that test the box have seen the reason that people like us want to be certififed to ship snakes many times but your rep may not have any other accounts like this. In other words once the box passes inspection, it is harder for your rep to give you a hard time about continuing the process of getting you certified. My rep had never done this, but once she spoke to others who had accounts like this she was enthusiastic about helping me. After all, ALL our packages are sent overnight, a good chunk of business for them. I sent my test box off for 2 day delivery to speed up the process. I was certified in no time. Now is the time to make up a business name for yourself, and use it on your paperwork. For weight maybe put 2 to 5 pounds? Can't recall what I put... Just tape your deli cup lid down for extra effort and use strong new boxes. You should not have any problems good luck Tom Stevens

know we have gone over this many times (for others, but I had no reason to get certified until now). I have the links to the fauna classifieds discussions about it. I have started to fill out the application for test boxes and have gotten a fedex account number. I am currently waiting the 24 hours before I call the rep. Anyone have any suggestions?
Also, on the app, it asks for business name. Since I do not have a business, do i leave that part blank?
Where it asks for weight, do I put "varies" since the boxes wont always be the same? Same with value?
Any help would be appreciated. I plan to put the test box inside an outter box. Is there anything else that i should do?
thanks
