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.

Since then Courtney has called me a few times to see how these are going on my end and to set me up with any online training for their website at fedex.com. Yesterday, I got my package together and then did their online pickup and the driver was here about 20 minutes after his window started (told them to pick up between 12:30 and 5pm). Took the package and this morning I received a email from David at FedEx Packaging Design and Development, stating that my stuff passed and to contact my rep so that she can finish up the paperwork for me. They sent me all my info through adobe's pdf files. What I thought was cool, was the fact that they had the different photos as they open the packaging. And even had on their that I made sure that, that if there had been a reptile in there, they weren't going anywhere and were as safe as possible. I showed my husband when he this afternoon when I saw him briefly and he was like good job.
Now if Delta would get back with me and get the ball rolling, then I'd REALLY be a happy camper. For now I'm happy knowing that one big obstacle is out of the way.
Chris I owe you a huge thank you and I owe you one.
Thanks for posting and sharing your experience, I wouldn't have gotten this far without you. Believe me I've been trying to get the ball rolling with Fed-Ex since March but didnt have a contact person. Thanks
For all of you out there who are not having much luck with your area reps, I would call Lenny or email him and let him know. Courtney, my rep is estatic (?), right now, I'm her first reptile client, so we are learning together as we go. What she doesnt know she goes and finds and calls me back, which is so cool having someone who WANTS to help.

Isn't it amazing how completely excited the regional reps are acting? Lenny still emails me sometimes just to see how everything is going. Man! That's just good customer service. No doubt about it. FedEx rocks!
And you don't owe me a thing. If you owe me, then I owe everybody before me. And that's a lot of owing. I remember emailing Cathy Love last year and asking about the FedEx process. She gave me some good advice. There were already a few threads about it here and there. I guess it wasn't until Lenny came on the scene that everything seemed to just click into place across the board. Maybe that's who we should owe. We should owe Lenny. In fact, I'll just refuse to pay my next FedEx bill. Then I'll REALLY owe him! =)
Take care...
Chris =)

I was thinking...Lenny has really been vital in kickstarting the FedEx process for all of us. The man has definitely bent WAY over backward in acting as a liaison between customers and other reps. And he never fails to go that one step farther...like taking Greg as his personal client, even though Greg isn't officially in Lenny's jurisdiction. That's just great customer service. Plain and simple.
Would it be a stupid idea to take up a small Fauna Fund and send him a fruit basket or something in appreciation for all his devoted work to the reptile (or any animal) industry?
Maybe a dollar each from twenty or so people? Something like that? (How much does a fruit basket cost?)
I know it sounds crazy, but Lenny really has really gone the extra mile...again and again.
Does that idea sound ridiculous?
Maybe I'll just do it myself and say that it's from everyone here. Yes?

Wow, I didn't even notice this thread until today! I have been wondering how I would go about getting setup for this and I can't wait to contact him for a reply from my local rep. Lenny is da man!

Do you have a debit card with a visa or mastercard logo on it? That should work fine as well.

I dont have a credit card either, just my debit card that has the Visa logo on it. I called fedex when I saw they had charged my account $10. I asked them what was going on, they told me this was their way of finding out if the card was actually good and being used and that it would be taken off my accout in a day or two. Sure enough it was taken off my account.
Plus when you go to ship anything through FedEx, they automatically will bill your credit card/ debit card.
So yes you need some sort of card when you register.

Oh, yes! Debit cards work, too. I actually signed up using my debit card. Everything was fine.
Good luck!

You could also arrange for invoices and/or other billing options, but I prefer to have them charge my debit card. It still takes them a week or so to charge my account, but at least I don't have another paper bill arriving in the mail. I already have plenty of those!
