USPS Regulations
Here is the link that is specific to mailing animals / reptiles.
http://www.usps.com/cpim/ftp/pubs/pub52.htm
To sum it up the USPS states...
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
525.3 Reptiles
All snakes, turtles, and poisonous reptiles are nonmailable.
525.4 Poisonous Insects and Spiders
All poisonous insects and spiders, except scorpions under limited circumstances All snakes, turtles, and poisonous reptiles are nonmailable.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess since the USPS bans the shipment of snakes, then private companies follow suit. Since the goverment sets the standards them I can see why private shippers don not want to ship them.
So it seem that the case is really against the USPS and US Governement???? If they change their regulations, then there would be a huge arguement against the private shippers for disreguard of goverment policy.
Am i looking at this all wrong? OR do you agree?
