Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Anyone else have trouble getting a name and number for their represenitive? I have been on the phone with multiple people @ fedex today and no one seems to have a clue what I am talking about and say there are no represenitives they can give me a name and number for. This is a real pain!

Thanks

If you put the babies in deli cups, include deli cups - secured the way they would be when you ship. If you sometimes bag them, or use other containers, send those, too.
Heat or cold packs can be included (no need to activate them)
If you routinely use holes, do so with the test package.
In other words, send the package exactly as it would be when you ship. You can have the box + contents returned, so you won't be out any supplies.

Ask to speak with an account services supervisor - don't be surprised when they ask what the call is about, and take your phone number for a return call.

They will take your number and will return your call! I called 1-800-633-7019 gave them all the info they needed and told them I was trying to get a waiver to ship reptiles and my representative returned my call the next day as well as called a couple of days later to make sure that I received the info I needed through E-mail and to see if I had any questions for him! I am sending my test package off today and he said it should only take a couple of days to get the package inspected and the waiver returned so my representative is Very Helpful and always available to me!

According to FedEx, each box size/type that you will be using should be tested.

I've never done that. I was never told by my rep that was required for Live Animal Shipping. It's not listed on your certification what box sizes you're allowed to ship with and they're not going to stop a shipment because you use different sizes boxes. They're testing to make sure you know and understand how to properly ship Live Reptiles & Amphibians, not the quality of the manufactured boxes (Superior, if you use those boxes, went through a testing process...That's what the stamp on the bottom is for).

For the testing, it doesn't matter. True.
My rep told me that the testing department asks that we send in a box of each type we'll be using to ship.

It will probably be fine if you just send one box, it won't specify on the waiver.
Most of us are hearing that you only need to send one, so my guess is that your rep is just misinformed.
Either that, or they meant completely different boxes (like ones from different manufacturers).
