I have the address of my local FedEx and send it to the seller so everyone's on the same page.
I agree 100%.

I've never had an animal delivered to my home. Too many horror stories of missed deliveries, delayed deliveries, incorrect addresses, animals cooking/freezing in the truck, and a myriad of other variables that can go wrong. My local World Center hub opens at 8:30AM and they usually let people in at 8:15AM. I've never had a bad shipment because of my policy on this.
