Welcome to the Shipping Forum! Reptile hobbyists and buisnesses often need to get animals from point a to point b, overnight, and safely. Shipping live animals can be a risky proposition that can be impacted by dozens of factors beyond the shippers or receivers control, from weather, to airline shutdowns, or faulty packaging. Some carriers are easy to work with, others don't accept animals at all. Learn from others shipping issues and share yours here. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the shipping of Reptiles and Amphibians from one destination to another. If you are a new user to this forum, please take the time to review the rules first before posting: Terms of Service.
