On shipping I will cover damages etc if the animal is shipped via Delta Dash ONLY if there is a DOA due to the fact that it meant the buyer took the time to actually go pick up fro ma airport and i took the time to go ship it out right before it needed to be there. I have never had a DOA all the time i was in boas so never had to deal with it. IMHO if im selling you a $8k snake and you dont wanna take the time to pick it up at a delta hub then i wouldnt gurantee live arrival on one that high due to if something beyond MY control was to happen then im SOL because no over night carrier would insure my loss. Delta you can get insurance up to a certain amount forget what that is not i think $5k is max maybe less. But with a over night carrier if it is held over in cold weather / mish shipped to other side of states and re shipped or is left in summer on a HOT dock for hrs untill the truck is loaded and arrives dead it isnt my fault or the buyers but the shippers and the shipper will say sorry we dont insure live animals we just let you ship them ( fed ex ) . So to me if he was implying that yeah ill sell you the animal but would only gurantee live arrival if delta then i can see that because i wouldnt wanna ship one via fed ex knowing there is to much to risk no matter how many good shipments you have . I wouldnt wanna be out $8k wouldnt want the buyer to be out $8k So to me its not outragious to me but as someone said a personal pick up if it isnt across the states would be a prefference if possible to do .
