Steps To Become Fedex Certified!!!

I got a message back from FedEx this morning-- aparently they have a new, updated test package form that you can submit online as well as attaching to your box. It's here:
http://www.fedex.com/us/services/pac...ckageservices/

Any way for the first post to be updated with that link? It'd probably be helpful for those who don't want to read through 40 pages of posts before going through their own certification.

I got that email this morning as well. Did you recently send out a test package?

Yep, I did.. last week I believe.

Hope all goes well with your package. I'm anxiously awaiting approval on mine.

Thanks! You too. I have someone interested in buying some critters but they won't make a decision until I have the ability to ship... so the sooner the better.

personally i am not happy with fedex shipping . they wont ship to my town in 95912. it has taken two weeks after my purchase of a snake to have it shipped to a legit location FOR fedex. i am having to drive to a fedex kinkos location to pick it up instead of it being dropped off at my house. i never had issues like this with ups. ups made us suffer for them not training their employees right.. i just want my snake to arrive saftly. i wish this issue with locations had not happened

I'm afraid it's against the reptile certification policy to ship to a residential address. Home businesses evidently do not count...It goes off of zoning.

oh well thank you. currently i do not ship since all my snakes are still babies and i have one breeder normal male about one year old. it was also my first time ever getting a reptile shipped to me througgh fedex. now i understand why they wouldnt ship to any residential area i listed. now im just happy the shipping is going smoothly and im hoping my little male orange ghost gets here soon and saftly. thank you again for helping me understand

Yep. They got a weird way of seeing things. Even sent them a link proving it was a business address. I often wonder if it's because of that extra fee they would be losing.

I could get rezoned residential/business (we're legally a two unit), but I think it'd be more hassle then it's worth. I don't have issues with my local Staples & Postal Plus accepting my packages, so I just drop off there. I honestly didn't know that it went off of zoning, so I imagine I have violated my FedEx contract on more then one occasion.
