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.

Rate per pound (a) Weight (b) Discount (c).
(a*b)*c = discount.  (* = multiply)
A simple calculator will do this.

They need to get with the decade. It should be automated. A multiple billion (trillion?) dollar company can't get their scripts to accept discounted rates?

Annoyance could have been averted...
The discounts are showing up in the rate quote...I have no idea why the PDF and my rep said I had to calculate it myself.

I agree with you completely. Should have said that too.
I was just trying to simplify it for you.

Has any one had any luck getting approved to send to residential? I know almost every large feeder company ships to residential. Surely as large of scale these business's are they wouldn't be breaking rules that would jeopardize their shipping provider. Also isn't the back of FedEx trucks climate controlled vs UPS?

Feeders are dead, they are not covered under the Live Harmless Reptiles waiver. The Live Harmless Reptiles waiver is what prohibits residential delivery. Some areas have the climate controlled Express vans, but not all.

Just called legal department there and I can honestly say i waste more time dialing the number than what I got info on. I was told even worms are not allowed to be shipped to residential. I don't understand. If they wont insure them to be there alive where does it matter where they are shipped to. I was granted to be able to use 2nd day air with FedEx but still no residential. I will be doing over 100K annual with them and they wont budge about residential. Yet every other large company gets the ok to ship doesn't really make since. Seems like selective selection. What do you mean about Feeders are dead, they are not covered under the Live Harmless Reptiles waiver.

This thread is about FedEx Reptile Certification, which feeders would not be covered under. I had assumed you were speaking of rodent feeders. My worms come in through USPS.

I ship reptiles to residential addresses through FedEx. They always add on a fee for residential delivery, but I have yet to have them refuse to. Us shipping certain reptiles who are CITES governed, it is an actual law for us to mark the boxes appropriately. If you are shipping worms, then simply marking the box "perishable" should be all that's required of you. Open a regular FedEx account, and not the reptile waiver type of account, and you should be good to go. Simply tell them when they ask what you'll be shipping, "various perishable goods". I can't see any problems arising from that. But it would still be on you to package correctly to ensure they don't die in the chance they don't hit a climate controlled truck.

My waiver specifically says I'm not permitted to ship residential (as does the official policy). Do you have an older waiver? I've noticed some of the older waivers do not have that stipulation in. Makes me wish I hadn't been lazy and done it before they started adding it.
