help for shipping corns

I use FedEx and they can be a pain in the a$$ about their rules and regs. The biggest issue I have with them is that they will not insure a live animal shipment against loss. What's to keep the delivery guy from tossing the snakes in a dumpster if they don't have any responsibility for the package? That being said I have shipped to residences plenty of times without a problem. I don't have them pick up here at the house because I don't like the snakes bouncing around in a FedEx truck any longer than necessary. I take my box to the FedEx terminal in the evening (I think 6PM is the latest they will accept a package and guarantee next day delivery) which eliminates the "business" part on my end. Once they have the box in hand they are going to deliver to whatever the address is.

Actually, you are clearly wrong. It is a direct violation of the contract certified shippers sign with FedEx. Supposedly RE and SYR have an exclusion to this restriction, but I haven't seen it in writing and have nothing but their word about it.

If you want to bypass the restriction and don't mind paying a smidgen more, I'd suggest sticking with RE.
