At Daytona, and at the NARBC shows in Anaheim and Tinley Park, ShipYourReptiles.com will be set up to ship home your live reptiles and dry goods. The service is available to both vendors and attendees.
Even if SYR is not at your destination show, you can still go online and book a shipment yourself, and get your items home. Quick and easy.

We hold the packages in a secure, locked, temperature controlled room for UPS pickup Monday morning. Next Day Air packages are then delivered Tuesday morning.

What if I purchase a reptile on Saturday and need to drop it off to you on Sunday for shipping? Daytona (and any show for that matter) will not allow anyone, other than vendors, to bring in live animals. How will that work?
I normally use FedEx to ship when I buy in Daytona, but would like to use you guys if it can work out.
Thanks,
Michael.

I didn't see your post until today, after the show, but the event staff was allowing folks to bring their shipments in the show for SYR drop off.

It was great having you in Daytona! It was so quick and easy to ship right from the show. I look forward to seeing you at Tinely. One word of advise...Bring more BIG boxes!

Thanks for the feedback and support. We shipped 200 packages back for attendees and vendors, it kept us very busy : )
As for large boxes, Superior was supposed to bring three times as many, but that didn't happen for some reason. But I agree, we need more large boxes!
