ive gotta complain to some1. Today , a crested gecko was supposed to be sent to me via usps shipping over night priority. the animal is worth over 250 $ , and it didnt come!!! im soo stressed out right now , ive got no idea what to do , but this is the 2nd time now that usps has messed up shipping w me! now all of those people who want to reprimand me w shipping through the mail , please save it , i just want the gecko to be safe and sound at my house ! gosh this is horrible , i have no idea what to do , and if someone could please give me some advice on how to go by getting in touch w usps please let me know.

Their site is www.usps.com with the tracking # you can find where it's at. I know it's a "no - no" to ship snakes usps but lizards are legal.
9 out of 10 times I've had good luck with usps. BUT the 1 % I had really sucked! I had an expensive jungle carpet python sent to me & was lost for 6 days in below freezing temps.....somehow. the animal never got sick at all.
Good luck & I hope your animal(s) get there safe & sound.

The only experiances we have had with them are always negative... The first package which we recieved from them was delivered two days late and even thou the door was open they left it on my door steps and didnt notify me of the delivery. The last time Steve and I used them the package arrived two days late and the animals where so cold we didnt feel they would make it.. After those experiances Steve and I refuse to except a USPS shipped animal because its just not fair to the animals and it makes you think about people who care so little that they dont want to pay the extra few dollars in shipping to get certified through Fed Ex or UPS..... I HATE shipping and recieving animals... it just stresses me and Steve out because we care so much for our animals and wouldnt want to stress them out any more....Good luck with the Gecko... Steve and I owned cresteds for a while... what amazing animals... Good luck...

Sincerely,
Rose Hipskind
