If you look it up in the books all of them have some sort of rule or stipulation when shipping live animals. Some allow this but not that etc.

However one thing most of them have in common is you need to have permission to be able to ship with them. You open an account with them allowing you to ship live animals.

None of them will cover any loss or assume liability for perishable items this would include shipping of live animals. The only thing covered is the time they say it will be delivered. If it is late then you can get the shipping fees returned or waived. If anything happens to the animal you will have to take that up with the seller and not the carrier.

The airlines such as delta dash etc. have different rules. They are also harder to get verified with.

There are other laws and regulations involved to such as the lacey act. etc.
