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.

Witch hub for middle stop?
When shipping overnight is there any way to know what hub your shipment will make the stop in? I have had some packages routed to Indy and some to Memphis. Just curious if there is anyway to know ahead of time. Just trying to get a handle on the weather in the overnight stop area? Thanks in advance.

I know it's been a while since you posted but I just shipped last night. I talked with FedEx about this. My package was going from Arizona to Kentucky. The guy at FedEx said it will go to Memphis then Kentucky. Sure enough it went to Indianapolis. Memphis weather is 45 high and 36 low. Indianapolis 31 high and 22 low. Big difference. Snake made it but was cold. Still waiting to see how she turns out. Hopefully this helps someone out in the future

I'm not sure there's any way to tell which hub they'll be routed through. I always make sure temps are good through both hubs just in case.

I knew Memphis is a hub, and so far all my shipments I've sent have gone thru there. Where is the other hub?

If you ship along the west coast from the west coast, they will use Oakland as well. I will remember that for next time. I did look at both to determine if I could ship and that's when I decided to ask FedEx. I won't make that mistake again.

Yeah it seems like it can vary from time to time. I have not been able to get a definite answer. I have had packages get routed to Texas also. 99% of the time it is Indy or Memphis but sometimes they throw a curve. This info would help not only during the colder months but during warmer months or when trying to determine if there is any possible storms or something along the route that may delay a package.

Routing factors depend on flights, delays, weather, and a number of other unpredictable factors.
I pay attention to temps at origination and destination, but not at the hubs. Very little time is spent at the hub location. What I look for at the hubs are any delay notices, which FedEx, and usually ShipYourReptiles, post at their site.
