Has anyone shipped FedEx? Do they allow lizards as a policy, or would I have to lable them perishable (instead of live harmless lizard)? I was thinking of shipping them via fed ex priority over night. I says it will be there by 10:30am the next buisness day. Does anyone know if this is a good idea? Any feedback would be apreciated. Thanks!

I had mine shipped with ups next day was about$30. Put them separate in small plastic cups with airholes. Use a couple of napkins as padding.

Then they go in a small cartboard(sturdy) box jammed with newspapers and more airholes. Basicly you want to immobilize them. So that the UPS monkeys cant harm them.

Put on the box some warning stickers "carefull harmless life lizards".(On every side in big red letters) and you and your lizards should be just fine.

I have only shipped via UPS one time...my package was guaranteed by a certain time, and arrived late. I returned to the facility to get my guaranteed refund the next business day. I was told I had to use the 1-800 number. OK Fine...I wish I would have been told that at the counter...

I called the following Monday, after being told the computers were re-booting or something like that. On monday, I talked with them, and gave all my information again to get my Credit Card credited...I just got my statement, and it shows refund was credited by UPS!!! OK find...

I called yesterday afternoon...guess what, they can't find out right now; their computers are down again.

I just got off the phone with them again today..."I can't issue a refund, it's been later than 15 business days...I don't get mad easily, so this is good I have two girls names I've talked to, and now am awaiting a call from their supervisor.

Why is it, we have to give our names, phone number, credit card numbers...If I want to call them back..."sorry, we do not have a direct line, you'll have to call the 1-800 back and get whoever may answer the phone next. BSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Sorry to hear that, but I am sure you can find people who have a similar experience with FEDEX. My lizard shipment trough UPS worked out as promised.
