UPDATE ON SHIPPING

good jog Benster

Tell them not to worry about safety when it comes to shipping.....they have been safe all this time &nbsp; <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

just kidding

after them...lets see what the others will say.
actually, I am fine with UPS....if UPS is the only one who will go for it...then it is the other people's loss

Well BEn i must say this and &nbsp;we need to poll this lol , i can see your face on Reptile Magazine Now Herper of the Year !!! wow !!! but in all due respect the herp industry is goin to " blossom" if the goes well and &nbsp;all need to know that it will be a MUST to follow all guidlines set forth from this if it goes cause all it could take is for one group to find out and do a "test" to see hoe peole ship , i mean imagine if some LAME shipper ships a snake that ends up frozen dead on arrival and its to some anti snake or anti anything group this would be enough for them to stop what gets started !! just food for though and Ben ... You Are da MAN"

I contacted my local ups when I was going to ship for my first time. &nbsp;I explained what the problem was and how I packed them, and they still said no. &nbsp;They said that they did not ship any live animlas at all. &nbsp;You guys seem to have been able to ship lizards etc. &nbsp;just not snakes. &nbsp;Was it because I did not have an account? &nbsp;Or was it just this office? &nbsp;Any info would be apprectied. &nbsp;Thanks, Jacob. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

hey jacob...
it is not just you.....

the ups in south carolina says "NO SHIPPING OF ANY LIVE ANIMALS THROUGH UPS"

but i recieve them all the time.......go figure.
and the boxes I receive says. &nbsp;"Live harmless Reptile"

I guess a "Reptile" is not the same as an "animal" where ups is concerened

The UPS rate and service guide for 2002 on
page 151 paragraph [n] states
'Ups does not regularly provide service for
packages containing live animals. UPS will only
accept live animal shipments on an exception
basis. Transportation for packages containing
live animals is limited,must be prearranged,
and as with all other package,will be provided
only according to the terms and conditions
contained in the UPS tariff.'
This is copied word for word,...no mention of reptiles
Hope this helped some

so, any update on this situation? &nbsp;i would love to hear how it's developing.
thanks,

Way to go Ben!!! &nbsp;

I have been shipping geckos through UPS for a few months now, and they have been excellent to me about it. &nbsp; I got an exception to do it, but it didn't take much more than explaining to the rep what I was shipping, how many I was shipping, and then just getting through the, "and you're shipping WHAT, again?" part of the conversation. &nbsp;

It would be great to see them allowing snakes. &nbsp;In all honesty, I always thought it was silly that you could ship lizards and frogs, but no snakes. &nbsp;

Great to see you got us moving in the right direction Ben!

never heard if there was an update on this last time...
so? &nbsp;any new news?
thanks ben!
