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.

FedEx Office (Kinko's) locations- I would strongly suggest NOT shipping to these locations. Each location sets its own policy on live shipments, and many choose to not accept nor receive them.
I have seen incoming shipments turned away from FedEx Office locations, which creates quite a panic for the recipient, and can mean a full day delay as well as $11 address change fees and other headaches.
Unless you have made arrangements with them ahead of time to accept your reptile shipment, I would not advise shipping to the Kinko's locations for customer pickup.

My first shipment of a live animal sent to me, my tortoises through FedEx taught me to never have a live shipment sent to my home again. It was June, hot here in Texas & I live in the country. I also live 60 miles from the FedEx hub and am considered being in a remote area. Their excuse for delivering to my home last.
My package finally got to me around 5:00 p.m. and luckily the tortoises were alive and in good shape. No amount of calling the main FedEx number and pleading with them helped to get the driver to show up sooner. I was told he had til 7:30 p.m. to deliver to me since I lived off the main route.
After that, I found out I could have my live shipments held at the FedEx hub office where their planes flew into and I never had another package sent to my home. I did have a couple of sellers who claimed to not know how to set my shipment up that way & I told them I knew how & would take care of it on my end. FedEx makes it very simple for either the seller or buyer to set up a hold on your packages on their website.
The hub closest to me is 60 miles away & I gladly drive the distance to ensure my animals don't have to suffer in extreme heat or cold!

I planned to buy more Chameleons and just had an experience with somebody who didn't wanna ship cuz it is in the 90s. What is later when it gets hotter? Is that even possible?

It's possible.although smarter to wait till cooler temps.
You can use fedex priority overnight if the package will get there around 10:00 am or you can have it held at the fedex hub for pick up.use at least a 3/4" insulated box and a couple small cool packs wrapped in news paper.
Do not use Kinkos locations go directly to Fedex.
