Exactly! FedEx shippers are paying more the the quality of service they receive.

Haven't you all said before, "Quality isn't CHEAP?"

Looks like I'm going back to Fed Ex. Their prices are much higher, but better service in my experience.

I should have never stopped the process of becoming FedEx certified. No choice really with the move but now I know I need to complete it.

How do you get FedEx certified for shipping?

Nope... Quality isnt cheap... and cheap isnt always best.

My UPS driver knows what I do... he has brought his kids to my house to see the animals. Everytime I get a package from someone that is shipped via SYR'
s... he cringes. He knows how hot it gets in his truck... he's like... why dont you have them ship it with (deleted drivers name) with FedEx. Both my UPS and FedEx drivers know each other... and they both know what I do.

Personally Id like the climate controlled truck for a little more $$ vs 100+* in the back of a UPS truck.

Keith,

There is a whole thread about it in the shipping forum.

Ok never mind I just found out that we are FedEx certified in my wifes name. LOL! Sorry for the question. Just never used Fed Ex yet for shipping.

Bet you are thankful now!!

i currently do not sell but im guessing it will be a lot more expensive for a while. when i got 2 packages from them i was shocked my pastels where still alive due to the shape the boxes came in. both where almost crushed flat. the person who delivered them said he didnt know there was anything alive in the boxes. i was very happy with purchasing them but not satisfied with delivery. my delivery man was by first sight most likely stoned. he had no clue the boxes held live animals and i was very worried about the wellfair of my snakes apon arrival.

Oh yeah we sure are. The shipment we have going out in about 2 weeks is only $4 more through Fed Ex then SYR. So that isn't to bad with being certified.
