I just spent all morning reading through all these posts - very informative.

Thanks to all who have gotten involved. This is how things change!

Can we get an FAQ for this placed somewhere? Having to sift through all of this to try and figure out what to do is daunting and prone to errors. For example, if I had just read the first post on how to do this, I would have missed many informative topics like having FedEx Test facility pay for the shippment or how to package a test shipment.

If we place one document somewhere and update that document as we learn more, we can avoid confusion - especially in the area of "he said, she said".

Again, kudos to all involved to make this a better world for everyone!

Already don't remember if it was mentioned. Do you sign up for the account with the 10% discount or the other? What's the difference?

You sign up like normal, you get the 10% discount only if you ship online.

Hmmmm. Does that mean I goofed by selecting the 10% online account?

Sure would be nice to have an FAQ.

No I don't think so, when I signed up that was not an option to me I was never told about the online account, I was told by Daniel at Scales to ship that way and save 10% on all my shipments. Sounds like you got it easier than me is all. You should be just fine, just keep records of how much they say the packages will be I have gotten quotes online with my discount then charged higher, so write thoses amounts down, they did fix it for me though no problem.

Can someone who has recently signed up with FedEx tell me how long the entire process from submitting the test box to getting approval took.

Thanks!

Mine took about 4 weeks and I was pressing it!

Contract
 

I was wondering if someone could send me a copy of the contract i would kinda like to see one. Plus if Fedex tell me there isn't one i can tell them i've already seen it. I would really appreciate it.

Can someone tell me if there is an official name for the contract that FedEx had you sign?

I completed the box testing, and my rep called to say I could start shipping right away. I asked about signing a contract and he said it wasn't necessary....just don't want to get into trouble later. Has anyone gone through this and NOT had to sign a contract?

The waiver
 

The official name on the waiver is called, "waiver of liability for reptile and amphibian domestic shipments". This needs to be signed by you and your account rep then needs to send it to the legal department (Mr. Brown). After that you should be good to ship.
Have your rep contact Mr. Brown...he will educate her on what is needed.
Hope that helps:)
