    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....

We operate an online store where we sell primarily reptiles. As of right now we use shopping cart software that lets us charge the customer an exact shipping rate through FedEx. My question is wether using this system or incorporating a Flat Rate shipping charge for everyone whould appeal more to the customer. I can see the benfits of both but would like to hear other opinions.
 
I guess it would depend on what it is you are shipping. Someone that buys a corn snake for instance might be a little put off if they have to pay teh same as someone buying a 5 foot boa. Maybe a scaled shipping charge could be arranged... large animals one charge, small ones another... just an idea
