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.

Hot origination to Cold destination
Is this a dilemma?
When shipping from a place with warm to hot weather to a destination with cold weather do you include a heat pack.
On more than one occasion I have been shipped animals IN WINTER, or when my weather was very cold, with no heat pack. In every instance the animals originated from a place where the temperature was very warm or hot.
I even specified that heat packs had to be used and provided my temperatures as the reason why.
Invariably the reason given for not including heat packs is because it was hot where the animals came from.
How can this situation be handled properly?

When it is hot at the point of origin, there is some (legitimate) concern with heat packs. The reason being that many of the larger business begin packing shipments fairly early in the day, so they can all be ready to go for the afternoon pickup. The heat packs take a few hours to get to max temps and really heat up the box, but if temps are in the 80's and the box is sitting there sealed all afternoon.... One of the dealers that I buy from regularly sets up the boxes as the day goes on, but leaves the ones bound for cold destinations open til later in the day. then, shortly before the pickup, he will activate the heat packs and seal the boxes. I haven't received a package in cold weather without heatpacks in years.
(I still struggle with the cold origin to hot destination shipments though...they just make me nervous)
