Well... 2 weeks after I shipped them, the 2 juvie leo's I sent to someone have finally turned up. We won't know until later today when they're delivered whether or not they're alive... the post office forgot to hold them and instead put them in the truck.. I can only pray they're still alive.. though my hope on that is thin... still the days have been cool in the whole route... Here's praying though its a thin hope...

I did.. the day after this all started I went and got accounts with Airborne Express, UPS, and DeltaDash... Though I won't be shipping anymore this year... I'll have everything lined up for next year though now...

That is so, not a fair thing to say. EVERY shipping company has problems. I just heard of an incident with FedEx this morning and have heard similar things with other companies as well.
I have never had a problem with USPS. I have had one package arrive a day late, but it was shipped like 2 hours before the power outage occurred back East a few weeks ago. They worked hard to find and get it back on track for me. Even with the power outage they still refunded the shipping charges.

I agree... but I lost my faith in the postal system.. they've lost 2 packages a friend sent to me and then they lost my 2 geckos that I watched hatch... We spent a week trying to track down the flights.. me and the person they were being sent to. We called across the country and found out the numbers of every distrobution center between here and the South east... Called all of them to see where the package had last been.. since no one thought to scan them in anywhere.
