    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.

    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....

DHL Lousy Carrier

I was just saying, shipping through USPS has never been a problem, never a delay or anything like that, I wasn't reccommending someone to go do that.

That's not what you were saying on the thread you started about looking for an Amel Cal King. A few people jumped on you there when you said you ship and receive snakes via USPS.
 
You're right there, but I also stated in another thread, that I will never send or obtain snakes like that again. Once again, I am simply stating, I have never had the USPS lose a snake, take too long for a snake to arrive, or make it so the snake wound up dead, that to me is better than 3/4 of the stories I've read in one thread about the "legal shippers." I'm not looking for a battle, or an ongoing confrontation about who's business is better, or what's legal and what's not, just stating my experiences. :)

The thousands of shipments done via UPS, FedEx, and DHL versus your experiences of what a few dozen shipments via USPS have no comparison. I've had many shipments via the three major carriers and have not had a problem with any of them as of yet (knock on wood). Is that to say I won't? No. If you were to continue to use USPS you would eventually have a mishap, it's the law of averages.

Though I do have a question for you. You stated in the post you started inquiring about the Amel Cal King that "anyone who pays $40 dollars for shipping is a moron". Since you now claim you won't be using USPS for receiving or sending snakes, does that mean that you are saying that your customers, as well as yourself are morons? See how things you say can come back and bite you in the butt.
 
lol nothing has come back and bit me yet, so I don't know what you're talking about. :)

There are plenty of other ways to ship for $20 or less, USPS is not the only one.

I'm unsubscribing from this thread, though thanks for the great conversation. :)

Please inform us all of the plenty other ways to ship for $20.00 or less. I'm sure there would be a bunch of others who would like to obtain this knowledge you alone seem to have.
