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.

Need advice from our experienced shippers...
I just got an order for one of my baby balls (yay), but here's the dilemma. They are in Coral Springs, Florida. The temps for the foreseeable future are going to be daytime high's around 90. Shipping from Michigan, nighttime lows will be in the mid to upper 50's. In your opinion, would you use heat pack(s) or cold pack(s)? I'm shipping FedEx for delivery before 10:30 AM. I've never shipped to such a hot destination, so I could use some good advice. Thanks my friends!

Depending on what your temps are when you seal the box, I'd say use a cool pack, or nothing. It won't be in Michigan very long...
**Have the package held at the nearest FedEx station for the customer to pickup. It will typically be there before 830 (that's when the trucks leave for their deliveries), and will be stored inside in a nice temp controlled room.

(you can either ask the customer the location, or find it @ FedEx.com & ask which one they want. Personally, I only ship to FedEx staffed locations...not worth the fuss & aggravation if somebody at Kinko's doesn't like snakes)

Excellent, thanks Harald, I really appreciate it. I was considering not using a pack at all because of the temps issue, I'm glad you confirmed that as a valid option. Their closest staffed location is about 6 miles away, so i don't think they'll have an issue with picking it up.
