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.

New Box Design from Ship Your Reptiles
Let's just say I liked the old style when they first started. They were the same as the Superior boxes. White with red lettering.
Now, I'm not to thrilled with them. The perishable print is much smaller and All Pro Shipping wraps around the box. OK. I can live with that. What I don't like is the fact that LLLReptiles's logo and website is plastered on the box (larger than the perishable writing).
I am not LLReptile. I have never done business with them and they have a spotty record on the BOI. I do not like their logo on MY shipment.
All Pro Shipping is fine but the LLReptile logo, that needs to go IMO.

Here is the box. The writing is the same on the other side.
At the price they charge for one "shipping package", I do not think this is acceptable.

Not acceptable, in my Opinion the "perishable" part is a bit to small and not the main focused of the box only "All pro shipping" and i really don't feel comfortable Having LLLreptile logo and website on my Shipping boxes for my business.. i hope they don't turn all there boxes like that...in that case i need to change who i order from...What was wrong with the other boxes?..Dont fix what isn't broken!

As a buyer ~ If that box showed up on my porch and I hadn't seen this post I'd be calling the breeder thinking that the snake came from LL or that the box was used. Neither of which would make me a happy buyer because of their reputation.
As a seller ~ I wouldn't ship anything I bred in it either, unless a sticker label making machine magically showed up at my house, fully supplied, so I could cover their logo with mine.

Yeah that is tacky to say the least. I for one would never ship anything in those boxes.
I dont have a problem with the size of the "perishable" print. I worked for UPS, I know how little the package handlers care about things like "perishable" and "fragile". They dont even bother looking for those types of things in most cases.
Now the LLL advertisement, that is not only tacky, but flat out rude and inconsiderate in my opinion. Fortunately I have my own Fed Ex account. Fed Ex's service and drop off/pick-up options here in central Indiana are far superior to UPS, so as long as I live in central Indiana I would never use SYR (UPS) to ship anything anyway. And the LLL advert does not do anything but reinforce those feelings.

I'm with you there, Sammy (and everybody else). Not knocking the service SYR provides, but I would never use those boxes.
*There is no requirement that one must purchase boxes from them, though, is there?*

What is wrong with used boxes if they are in good shape?
I prefer using new boxes, but I have absolutely no problem with used boxes that are still in excellent condition. Throwing away a perfectly good box is just plain wasteful and there is entirely too much of that happening on this planet as it is.
If that means my "reputation" takes a hit (like I give a rats ass what anyone thinks of me) then I can live with that.

I can only guess LLL is a sponsor of sorts?
I certainly wouldn't use it.

I've used SYR, and will use them again. Been happy with the service they provide, and the savings on shipping costs which for the last several years have been becoming more and more of a burden.
However, I use my own boxes from Superior Enterprises. I would not use a box with a big advertisement on it like that. I mean really, would any company ship their product in a box labeled with an advertisement for a competing company? I've never ordered from Sears and got my stuff in a Wal Mart box.

i contacted Shipyourreptiles about this matter and said
hi there am heather and i been ordering and shipping with you guys since you started however i noticed the shipping boxes for size 12" x 9" x 6" box with 3/4" insulation Has been changed to a Updated outside look? with bold "All Pro Shipping" around the box then in the top to smaller Corners there is a small perishable then the other side there is LLLreptiles Logo? Is there a a way i can choose weather to have the basic old boxes or will you only carry the "New boxes" in my Opinion the "perishable" part is a bit to small and not the main focused of the box only "All pro shipping" and i really don't feel comfortable Having LLLreptile logo and website on my Shipping boxes for my business..So will this be changed for your shipping boxes?
And this is what they said.
Hi Heather,
All Pro Shipping is our parent company and currently the only boxes that are printed this way is the 12x9x6. I understand your reasoning as to why you wouldn't want the change on the new boxes. Next time, if you prefer the older style, when you order just shoot us an email at the time of your order and we can call our supplier and request that they send you the older style. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have cause you. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you. Have a nice day!
So its fixable i guess with a E-mail, however i want to know Who would want the new boxes to start with....And again LLLreptile why?
