I had previously emailed Brandon through Fauna (because it was through the "email" feature on the site, I don't have the actual email available) asking what he had available as far as wholesale beardies. Below are all of our email correspondences (I edited the personal info- address, number, etc). Basically, we had a planned ship date, I sent him both a shipping label, as well as the predetermined $350 through PayPal, and after that, I haven't heard a single thing from him. That was Thursday, December 1st. I have now filed a dispute through Paypal, and seeing as he hasn't even responded to that, as soon as Paypal will allow me to, it will become a claim. I just want my money back at this point!

Size doesn't particularly matter, but my max dollar amount is currently $350 (and I'll email you a prepaid FedEx label) for 20. So whatever sizes you'd be comfortable with. I'm looking for a male-heavy or all male lot if that's available as well. And I'm also willing to take nipped babies (as long as they're not missing a whole foot).

Okay, that'll work for me. Also, the low for Thursday night here is 13 F. are you comfortable shipping in temperatures that low and do you guarantee live arrival? If you are comfortable with that I'll get you the money and a label sent tomorrow.
For the label, I need all of the information listed below:
Name
Address
Zip, City, State
Phone Number
Box Size
Box Weight

I do guarantee live arrival. I ship usps usually and spoke with them and they said im able to drop it off before close, and it'll be send same night. I can have them hold package for pick up at your main post office which I prefer so its not on the truck or sitting in office for long periods.

Okay, great.
I would prefer through FedEx if that's not a problem- they're more reliable in my experience.

I spoke with fedex and not real comfortable sending package through them. The warehouse is not heated and she said they're shipped like any other overnight package. Usps said they'll hold the package up front overnight, which is temp controlled. And if you pick them up there in te am they wouldn't be in the cold to long. I wouldn't be able to guarantee anything with fedex do to how cold it is right now

The weather here isn't supposed to get any warmer for at least a week and a half and I'm not comfortable receiving reptiles through USPS- I've heard way to many stories of lost and delayed packages. Yes, FedEx overnight reptile packages are treated just like any other. But they are also delivered much quicker. I usually drop off packages at 6 PM, and they're guaranteed to be delivered by 10:30 AM the next day- much less stressful and more reliable. With 4-5 heat packs in a 12" by 9" by 6" (or similar- that's just the size I usually use and have experience with) box they will be kept nice and toasty, even if they were kept directly outside in 15 degree weather.
However, I do need a live arrival guarantee on them. I can't afford to have these guys arrive DOA. I'd be willing to put a 25% deposit to hold them until the weather breaks, as long as you can provide a live arrival guarantee through FedEx. But like I said, the weather isn't supposed to get warmer for at least a week and a half.

I usually don't send this time of year due to the cold and don't have heat packs available. Usps delivers within same time frame. I've never had any issues with them. Fedex also requires you to be signed up with them to ship reptiles, which I am not.

If I had the heat packs and knew that the temp would be ok, I wouldn't have a prob with fedex.

Even if the temperature warms up a bit, they're still going to need heat packs...
Like I said, I've heard too many horror stories with USPS- if you want my business, send them through FedEx. If not, I'll go elsewhere.
And yes, you do need to be verified to ship reptiles through FedEx- that's part of the reason why I'll be sending you my prepaid shipping label.
Thanks,
Dillon

Attached are the shipping label, reference note (goes on the front of the package), and live reptile notice (goes in the package).
With the insulated box and 5 heat packs, they should arrive just fine. I'm getting the money sent right now.

Yeah, just tape on the label like any other package. And that depends on the individual FedEx- some aren't allowed to accept live animals while others are. If you call any local FedEx and ask though, they'll tell you which location(s) will accept live animals.
