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.

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.

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?
