Not sure I know what to make of this... but Id like for the OP to expand on it a bit.

The person that contacted me was the UPS employee that had helped me out before. She was the only helpful employee I dealt with at UPS and she actually went on to say how she thought snakes were great animals and that she had a family member that keeps a bunch. She also made a point to offer any future help that I needed in the future. So, I think she called me to give me a 'heads up' just to be friendly.

I completely agree!

Here is the email I sent and Debbie's reply:
Theodore,
I have passed this on to the owners
I again apologize for all your troubles
Although we are a new company and there are still items we need to address
as a customer you should not have been subject to what I feel is unprofessional ism and plain rudeness
I am comfortable UPS and the owners will work all this out and we both will learn and grow from this.
I can only again tell you how sorry I am and hope to do business with you in the future.
Thank You,
Debbie Price

Hello Debbie. This is Theodore Ross Hyman. You helped me a couple days ago when the St. Louis/Earth City UPS hub was giving me all kinds of problems. I wanted to thank you for all the work you put into trying to resolve the problem. My package was sent at the end of the day and the snakes arrived at their location safely!
The reason I am writing you this email is because I received a phone call from UPS yesterday. They told me that the letter you provide was a fake and that the signature on the letter was copy and pasted. They told me that Reptiles Express had a temporary pilot program for shipping with UPS a while ago but that the program ended and that Reptiles Express and their customers where not allowed to be shipping animals. In a very short amount of time UPS has gone from telling me everything is ok to no you can't ship back to everything is ok and then back again to no you can't ship - because of this I am definitely inclined to believe you over them but for now I think I'm just going back to FedEx. There has been way too much confusion over all of this. I hope all of this can be worked out, and, if it does, I would love to come back and ship through ReptilesExpress again.
