If the buyer isn’t willing to spend the extra money to guarantee the safe arrival, or at the least be able to insure against it, then why should the seller be responsible?
Quote:
I would be hard pressed to blame a seller when given two options, one guaranteed and more expensive, and the other cheaper but no guarantee, when I choose the latter to save money.

If you want to save money and still be in your pajamas when your snake arrives then you choose FedEx and be responsible for that decision.

It comes down to the adage “you get what you pay for”.

The above points I would disagree with. FedEx and Delta are not that different any more when it comes to price. I have received and shipped many packages that were more than Delta when shipped FedEx.

In most cases they seem to be within twenty dollars apart. Of course it all depends on what your shipping but I wouldn't make the claim that people were wanting FedEx to save money. It is more about the convenience.
