    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. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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....

I sent a venomous animal through Delta Dash today and it went smooth as can be. I am not a verified or known shipper, this was the first time I've ever used Delta Dash. All that is required is that you follow the IATA rules for shipping venomous animals. It cost $80 to ship from Nebraska to New Jersey and the package was there in about 10 hours.
 
Interesting - I last used Delta about a month ago...and they wouldn't process the shipment until they confirmed that I was a verified shipper.
I know that NWA used to ship without a required verification process...I wonder if the joining of the companies has anything to do with your experience? Did you set up the shipment online, on the phone, or at the cargo desk?
 
I set up the appointment over the phone after calling my local airport and confirming that they accept venomous. I explained that I would follow all IATA protocol and I did. When I took my crate in they didn't bat an eyelash at what I was asking them to send. I wonder if it's luck of the draw, I got someone helpful on the phone and someone who didn't care at the counter.
 
One thing I will say about Delta - their Ship Center representatives have always been pleasant and helpful.

That's always been my experience too, whether it was a single hot snake being shipped or several thousand pounds of retics, anacondas, blood pythons, rattlesnakes, copperheads and other vipers that flew when I moved across country.
