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.

cool packs also work nicely. I just shipped out a bearded dragon to a place that was in the high 80s, but it arrived before 10:30 before it really got hot, so that probably helped..

I wonder if this is a trend with UPS lately. My last 3 shipments all got there late. First, because it was in the rural section and I had no idea it was an end of day area, because with SYR it doesn't tell you that when you book the shipment, unless I'm looking in the wrong area. It would have been nice to know being it got hot that day and I would have waited or packed differently. Second, they said the box was put on the truck for an end of day delivery, but yet the receiver had two other shipments arrive that morning...I got the run around from UPS but SYR got in touch with UPS and got it taken care of...my box and another arrived to the same receiver at 6pm(other box was 14 snakes all dead, my box fine). Then the last one yesterday, said due to inclement weather it was resceduled for today. Out of nowhere it was then dropped off at the receivers garage at 6pm and left there. No refund on that one as they said it was due to weather. I'm ready to go to fed ex.
That was my last 3 shipments.

Every carrier has issues from time to time. Given the huge volume of packages they handle, there are bound to be some screw ups. Any time you have human hands involved in the supply train, there will be mistakes. It's unfortunate, but inevitable.
IME, FedEx is no better. I was supposed to receive a shipment today and am just now finding out that it won't be here until tomorrow due to equipment failure or something like that. Do they know there are live animals in there? Yes. Do they care? Apparently not. Best I could get them to do was make sure it wasn't sitting in extreme temps until they can get it on its way again. So I've got two grand worth of ball pythons sitting in Indy right now twiddling their thumbs.

If I'm paying for a service I want what I paid for and when they knowingly take the animals they should have back up plans the whole way to ensure they make it there within the time that I paid for....just a o well they will be there tomorrow would not work for me...

I am wondering if they could not make up a service specifically for animals where they DO have a back up plan. Where they have something in place for a situation that may come up where it is a mechanical failure, bad weather, ect... I would be willing to pay more for such a service.

As the buyer, and not even the person who booked the shipment, what exactly am I supposed to do? It does zero good to call them up and scream at them. Except perhaps to get them to go drop kick my snakes off the loading dock.
Trust me, I'm frustrated right now. Moreso with the seller not seeming to have any interest in this, as I can't reach him via any of my contacts for him.
