Do you need to be Fedex Certified to ship live worms?

As the title states do you need to be FedEx Certified to ship live worms? USPS has been great most of the time for me but the few times they haven't been are unacceptable to me. I wish to switch to FedEx.

as far as i know you don't have to be certified to ship worms , cause i dont think they are covered under the lacey act in any way .. and when i got certified i didn't see anything on the list that pertained to worms .. but i would if i were you double check on their website ..

It would probably be a lot cheaper to send them through the mail.

The down side to USPS priority mail is 2-3 days in most cases. However its not a guaranteed service. So it could take a week which has happened before. Also they do not offer tracking.

Charlie,

You should be able to pay an extra fee for confirmation on USPS packaging. the difference when tracking by USPS, it doesnt give you step by step notes as to where your package is.

thats the problem its nothing more than a delivery confirmation number i do add that. But most time they only bother to scan it when it is about to be delivered which is unreliable since you never know when the package will be delivered. I'm going to switch to FedEx for sure since you know exactly which day it will be delivered. Just didn't know if i needed anything special for shipping worms. Thanks everyone for the response.
