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.

Airborne now DHL?????
I've heard that DHL has taken over Airborne.
On the internet, Airborne comes up as DHL.
Not sure if there are any other changes as yet. I called DHL and they said Airborne accounts will continue to use the Airborne account number.

DHL and Airborne did merge. I have had nothing but problems with them since the merge. DHL is an international shipping company, and they open boxes randomly for inspection. So anyone who is shipping through AIrborne and not doing it the legal way beware, they will make you come get whatever it is or they will turn it over to the local humane society.

Airborne DHL merge
I had a legal account to ship reptiles with Airborne for 7 years, when they merged with DHL they informed me they would not continue to honer my account. I know the same thing happened with Ken Foose, owner of Exotic Pets. I don't know if it's this way all over the country but I suspect it is. If you are shipping on the sly with unmaked boxes you are also in violation of the Lacey act. My concern would be if Airborne/DHL opened a box and discovered reptiles they may opt to call local fish and game. That's when you could get nailed in regards to the Lacey act. They may just call you and tell you to come pick up the shipment and drop your account.
Good Luck

Unfortunately DHL did buy out Airborne Express. I am just a buyer, and even for me it has become a nightmare. None of the changes seem to be for the better.
No longer do I receive my items on time, and I now receive a lot less help from customer service than I did Airborne. (Which was bad enough!)
I can imagine what the shippers are going through. Thank heavens for UPS!!! I have never had a problem with them.
