Shipping question

Joel_Thomas Nov 12, 2008 01:35 PM

The source I used for shipping is down, and I need to get some snakes out.

I was thinking about dropping them off for overnight delivery and not mentioning what I am shipping, has anyone ever done this before?

Thanks
Joel

i only ship about 6 times a year so i never got certified for shipping snakes, i just print out a lable and don't tell them whats in the box, but if you are going to drop it off i think they want to know whats inside the box, you can tell them there is something else in the box but there is always a chance that they can find out whats in there and i don't know if you could get in trouble or not, anyway good luck joel.

DHL -- gone.
I ship FedEx. My boxes are labeled: "LIVE ~Harmless Reptiles~ ~Avoid Extreme Heat or Cold~ RUSH" I deliver mine to the FedEx facility near me. I have an account now, but never really had any problem before I had an account. I am not "Certified".
You may choose not to label. This weather is great for shipping right now, so temp shouldn't be a problem. I would recommend a few innocuous vent-holes and don't completely tape every seam.
You can try Repster, if they're still around.

If you'd like I'll let you ship on my on my certified account. The only catch is the package has to come to me.
