....yes, make sure the gecko is secure in the styrofoam lined box. then go to fedex only. do not tell them what is in the box just let them know that it must reach its destanationn by 10:30 am.....take the gecko to fed ex around 5:30 pm the day before.

Oh, thanks. Although I didnt need to know the answer to the question, I've always wondered about that. So like a 5:30p deposite on a Monday will get to the other person before 10:30a tuesday? Thats really cool.

I think you asked the wrong person at UPS... as they did allow me to do it on a regular basis. I have a whole page set up on my site on how to do it.

Go to www.milwaukeereptiles.com
click on care sheets/information
click on "steps to.. .UPS"

Now this is for a regular basis... I like being safe so I wanted to get verified, with a one time shipment I don't know what I'd do.
