Snakes can't legally be shipped through the USPS. They have their share of suck, too. We're stuck with FedEx that you have to have a waiver for, or using Ship Your Reptiles' UPS portal.

Our UPS guy is NOT a snake dude, but he's an alright guy. I'm sure he's not going to like it when he hears that someone has worked out a deal with UPS for shipping snakes.

Your SYR package came at 10am, Shadera. He made a special early stop for it.

The only good shipment I had came DHL. Overnight by 10:30AM and it arrived early. Still have the snake and hes as happy and healthy as the day I open the DHL package. Maybe we need to use them. I think the seller told me they only charged him like $35-$45.

Thanks
Brandon

DHL/Airborne are out of business in the U.S.
IME they were worse than any of the others. I had an account with them at one time. Went to Fed Ex when they opened up shipping snakes.

I had a similiar experience with fed ex... The sun was shining yet they delayed my package for 3 FREAKIN DAYS then when they did finally deliver it they delivered it to my neighbors house!! thankfully it was not a reptile it was a part for my computer. But, it still had overnight shipping. And was supposed to be here by 10 a.m (i believe thats what it was) the next day. I really don't know about some of these companys sometimes.

Throwing in my opinion. I know the post office gets its share of bad reviews but I would like to thank the post office here in Macon, GA because one nite we had some baby beardies coming in that was suppose to arrive that day and didnt. The post office called my cell to tell me that the package came in late but would be delivered the next day and as luck would have it the cell battery died just as i was getting this info. I managed to get the number up long enough to copy the number to a friends phone and the post office answered. I told them that the next day wouldnt work since these were babies and didnt need to be in the cold that nite. Thankfully they worked with me, allowed me to come to the dock and pick up the beardies after hours and all were just fine. I beleive in giveing cudos where they are deserved and Macon, GA's post office deserves this.
