so my cost has always been the same, 71 and some change. This was by far the biggest I have shipped so I was a little worried they would charge me more.



They do have a new rule about they actually want anyone to remove the animal from the bag so they can check it, the bag and the animal I guess..



I was the first to come through with an anmial to test this new rule on. I asked the guy if he was serious as I have never had to do this before, I am a known shipper and SHE IS BIG! He said he really needed to enforce this, especially since I was the first. I said "Well ok.. if you must"



I pulled the huge bag out of the cooler on WHEELS I had to send her in, and you could see her nosing around the inside of the bag. They all stepped back... I set the bag on the top of the now closed cooler.. and she was getting restless. I had her in a material bag with a zipper. It was brand new and I got it with my leaf blower for when I wanted to suck up leaves, so it was a good size bag. Other then my wife had to sew a hole shut where the blower attaches.. anyway, im getting off topic.



So I set the bag down, they all step back. I unzip the bag.. a HUGE HEAD comes racing out.. They now run into the wall behind them as I grab her and attempt to get her to calm down. Did I mention that not only is she a big girl, but she has a HUGE HEAD? Granted I know she is only anxious to see what is going on, but she is a bit on the scary side as she lunges out of the bag.



I was the first in line and the first to be EXEMPT from the actual removal of the animal. I got her head back in the bag, zipped her up and repacked her in her cooler.
