SHIPPING PLEASE HELP!!

micky-kennie Sep 08, 2003 05:50 PM

I'm shipping from Ohio to Maryland. What would you guys recomend? I don't want to send usps because I've heard that they hold live animals for 2 days before shipping! I was thinking ups, but they say that they don't accept live animals. I've heard about Delta Dash before, does anyone know about this? Their website said that they accept live reptiles. Is this the best way to go? What would that cost? I really need advice badly, this is my first time shipping and I'm a little nervous! Thanks!

I have not shipped frogs before, but I can say that in shipping in general Airborne Express had be outstanding. I had frogs shipped to me that were shipped in the morning and were on my door step by the afternoon. I think this depends on location, but some offer this as a guaranteed same day. I do happen to live 5 miles from the air port.

i'd say either go with airborne express or delta dash. i have never tried delta dash, but i have never heard any bad things said about it.
good luck with your frogs.
