I was looking on the net and i noticed AAcargo.com, its american airlines cargo shipping service. It looks to be a little cheaper than delta. I was wondering if anyone had good or bad experiences with them.

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....
AACargo? Anyone ever shipped with them?

I think delta is used more for venomous, and AAcargo doesn't take any venomous reptile/snake/animal.

Ive probably never ordered a large enough "bulk" order to go delta and my delta office is over an hour away so Ive never aksed for anythign to go delta, never had it offered either lol
The most Ive ever had shipped at one time was 45 leos from Alex Hue and 24 iggys from Herp Breeding research and delta never came up.
Id love to have same day delivery though!

I used to ship Dachsunds years ago. American was my last choice. They weren't really good when it came time to transfer the animals from one plane to another. Too many times they just leave them out in the cold or heat, cases have been filed in court where the animals were killed due to exposure. Not all of the planes have pressurized cargo spaces or temperature control on them. Many times the agents didn't even know which planes could take live cargo.
They are doing better from what I am told and many places American is the only carrier of choice. I was going to have a bassett hound puppy flown to me from Tennessee, but American was the only carrier available. Needless to say, I am going to TN this weekend!
When I checked on the shipping of the puppy, the agent was very helpful, I will give them credit for that. A puppy from Knoxville had to go west to Dallas and then east to Raleigh. Kind of backwards service to me!
For live mammals, Continental is my number one choice. They have provided me great service, don' t really know what their shipping policy is on reptiles.
I do know that the AVMA studied American Airlines a couple of years ago, so maybe they really have cleaned up their act.
Sorry, I know this didn't help much,
