Fed-Ex certified ? Whats the point ?

I am Fed -ex certified for shipping live harmless reptiles . After jumping through all the hoops required I am now told that they wont accept shipments unless it's from a business to a business . They won't accept shipments for residential delivery . They wont allow a shipment to be picked up by an individual at the nearest terminal . They wont allow a shipment to an individual at work . Most of my customers are individuals , not pet shops . This makes the entire certification process absolutely useless to me . I have stopped using Fedex to avoid a debate with the lady at the counter every time I go to ship . Anyone else having these issues?

That sounds like an issue with that particular terminal/employee - contact your rep, explain the situation, and see what can be done. The waiver IS for business to business...but there is no reason (that I am aware of) that one couldn't ship a package to be held at a FedEx terminal - heck, I do that all the time.

Well , I have contacted my rep on several occasions and discussed all of the above issues . The answers are still the same . They won't accept the shipments .

I don't have any of those issues. I don't debate the finer points of the waiver either. Home based businesses are considered business to business. You can send it business zoned and sometimes they will change it to residential, sometimes they don't. The package is still delivered. I complete all labels online then drop them off. It really has been simple. I have my rep stored on speed dial on my cell phone if I have any problems at the terminal.

ok...Is that the answer from your rep, or is the employee at the hub the one refusing to accept them?
