How can someone quote you a shipping price???? I took a look at fedex's website looking to see if there was a estimater or something and didnt find anything..

When everyone is cooling their snakes how long do you cool them before introducing males?

Not that I ship very often, but I believe it goes by box size, weight and the zip code from and to. You want to get the smallest box possible to comfortably fit the snakes because it makes a big difference in cost if you use a 2' x 2' instead of a 1' x 1'. After that its just how much it weighs and the zips. You can call the outlet and say "I have a 10" x 12" box, 2.5Lbs and give the zips and they can tell you pretty close.

Shipping cost depends on (1)- the dimensions of the box (length, width and the height), (2)-the weight in lbs, and (3)- where it is going. Also if you add a dollar value to the package, the shipping cost will increase and it costs more if it is to be delivered to a residence versus a business.
