Question About Shipping Beardies

abstractcypher Oct 21, 2004 10:30 PM

Who do you go through to ship out your beardies? And who has the best prices?

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Ray

UPS is by far the best of the normal carriers. FedEx will work but is more expensive and a pain to get a reptile shipping account through. USPS sucks, overnight isn't guarenteed overnight but by 2 days (and it almost always takes 2 days). Delta is great also (airport to airport) but it is really expensive.

Uhm, U.S.P.S. really stinks, but they are gaurenteed. I I have recently shipped and they refunded my shipping because it took 2 days.

I use UPS. As of yet, I've had no problem with them. It usually costs me anywhere between $24-$40 for guaranteed overnight delivery. Residential deliveries are the more expensive, with the business deliveries being the cheapest. Size & weight of the package also make a difference in cost. I've never tried any of the other shipping companies, so I can't give an opinion on them.
