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.

There is no such thing as guaranteed overnight delivery of reptiles via the USPS. If the box arrives today, and the chameleon is alive and well; provide that info to PayPal. If it doesn't get there until Monday, or later; there isnt much you can do besides count it as a lesson learned the hard way.

Wait...you shipped it TODAY? (Yesterday, at this point in time)
Why would you expect it to be there by 10:30pm of the day you sent it? That's pretty unrealistic, don't you think?

Definitely a hard lesson learned. Say NO to shipping with USPS.
FedEx, Reptile Express or Ship Your Reptiles
Next Day Priority
Guaranteed by 10:30 or Noon 99% of the time.
Hope that poor cham makes it.

It shouldn't be used on the West coast either!
If you truly want the best for your animals, shell out the extra cash to have said animal properly shipped.
I don't care if USPS has worked on the West coast for you before or not, shipping live animals with USPS is down right irresponsible.
Good luck in the future.

It's not the east coast that's the problem. Everyone knows you don't ship reptiles through usps. That was a bad move to begin with so let this be a good lesson learned from here on out. SYR and FedEx are always the best options.

Isn't it against USPS policy to ship live animals anyway?
