    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....

Do you need to be Fedex Certified to ship live worms?

As the title states do you need to be FedEx Certified to ship live worms? USPS has been great most of the time for me but the few times they haven't been are unacceptable to me. I wish to switch to FedEx.
 
as far as i know you don't have to be certified to ship worms , cause i dont think they are covered under the lacey act in any way .. and when i got certified i didn't see anything on the list that pertained to worms .. but i would if i were you double check on their website ..
 
The down side to USPS priority mail is 2-3 days in most cases. However its not a guaranteed service. So it could take a week which has happened before. Also they do not offer tracking.

Charlie,

You should be able to pay an extra fee for confirmation on USPS packaging. the difference when tracking by USPS, it doesnt give you step by step notes as to where your package is.
 
thats the problem its nothing more than a delivery confirmation number i do add that. But most time they only bother to scan it when it is about to be delivered which is unreliable since you never know when the package will be delivered. I'm going to switch to FedEx for sure since you know exactly which day it will be delivered. Just didn't know if i needed anything special for shipping worms. Thanks everyone for the response.
