New year, new title.
Like it? I am open to other ideas.
**
Correct: I vend all Hamburg & Pittsburgh Reptile Expo events, and Pickups from either save $25 on transport!!**
EXCEPTION: Pickups for West Coast Deliveries, as I already lose money charging the $225 that I do to go out there; I would need 5+ Stops out there to start discounting down to $200.
**
FYI, I am at least starting this itinerary solo which means taking longer between some Stops, as I will need ~6 hours of sleep per day. Anyone who would like to see the countryside, meet new people and possibly see collections (when cordially invited to do so), for not much pay but all food, snacks n' drinks covered, hit me up!**
**Here is a price matrix for multiple Shipments going to one (1) Customer (Recipient), in simplest form:
One (1) Pickup = $125
Two (2) Pickups = $225
Three (3) Pickups = $300
A fourth or more Pickups will be $75/ea. on top of the $300.
NOTA BENE: This is when ALL Stops,
id est all Pickups + Delivery, are within
Standard Territory,
id est: All of PA down the east coast to Tampa, across the Gulf down to San Antonio, over to Abilene and straight up through the eastern halves/portions of OK/KS/NE, lower portion of MN, lower halves of WI and MI, all of MO/IA/IL/IN/OH, and everything within.
Id est, exempli gratia; if just one (1) Stop, whether Pickup or Delivery, is in El Paso, this will incur a $50 surcharge; if in Odessa, a $25 surcharge. These examples are part of Extended Territory. Exceptionally large Shipments still incur their own surcharge (possibly on top of an Extended Territory surcharge), whether a single large animal (
exempli gratia, an adult
D. polylepis, O. hannah or
Lachesis sp.), a large pair of animals (e.g., full-grown
B. rhinoceros), or a gazillion animals.

...I am hitting the road for my 22nd run on January 11. For those who are unaware of what all of this pertains to, please read my original ‘(VENOMOUS) ANIMAL DELIVERY SERVICE’ ad posted on 4 September 2020:
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...83#post2222383, and read all of the positive feedback on the first of the aforementioned links (11/3).
Nota Bene: This original ad needs some serious revamping, ha, but You will get the gist of it.
I will detail how the process works which is quite simple honestly, via a pre-typed description that I copy/paste to everyone, and/or over a phone call. In the meantime, please check out the previous, ‘Texas-Bound’ ads for an idea of how these itineraries work, the smooth flow n’ logical order of Pickups and Deliveries that is, and infer what You can.
As of January 22, I have 35 Shipments/44 Stops lined up so far. See photos 2-4, and a Reply with two (2) photos, for Google Maps screenshots of the current itinerary, and the corresponding list here (
id est, 'currently' because more Stops [Shipments] will likely be added which, logically, will alter the itinerary, but which
all affected Sellers and Customers will be apprised of renewed ETAs ASAP):

Nota Bene: Deliveries from us will not show a Pickup, nor will Pickups for us show a Delivery. This is to explain any discrepancy in the number of Pickups to the number of Deliveries and, ultimately, to the number of Shipments I claim.
The intention is to depict everywhere we are stopping and traveling through in case You have something to add. Also, added Shipments do
not necessarily mean added Stops if both Pickup and Delivery are locations we are already hitting up.
Id est, added Shipments will not necessarily add time (save playing Tetris to fit everything as well as more animals to inspect in our daily inspections).
Please share these ads like wildfire! The more Shipments the merrier! And as far as payment options and quotes, please inquire.
I thank You in advance for Your (continuing) patronage!! I offer many benefits to my service, including but not limited to: Daily inspections with videos of each animal sent as proof (Customers
love this!); conditional live arrival guarantee (ask for terms or details); no special crating nor IATA labels; hand-delivery to Your home, work or public place of Your choice; flexibility and versatility including able to change course last minute (e.g. from home to work); direct communication (and timely responses) with the carrier of Your precious gems.
Give Obscure Gems Reptiles’ Animal Transport Service a shot, You will
not be disappointed!!
Sincerely,
Timothy Gould
