    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....

***Correct: Not a Tuesday (12/1) this time, but Monday (11/30) so that I can be back in time to pack for Hamburg (Saturday, 12/5), but yes, always departure on Tuesday otherwise.***

Greetings Everyone,

For those who were a part of the first and/or second itineraries, or at least followed the corresponding ads (http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=741990, http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=743530), I am still stickin' to it and returning to The Lone Star State yet again on November 30th (actual arrival = 12/1)!! For those who are unaware of what all of this pertains to, please read my original ‘(VENOMOUS) ANIMAL DELIVERY SERVICE’ ad posted on September 4: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2222383#post2222383, and read all of the positive feedback on the first of the aforementioned links.

The positive feedback and immense support from all Sellers and Customers on both runs was phenomenal, and I am optimistic for this to become even better!! I will detail how the process works which is quite simple honestly, but preferably over a phone call as I don’t have much time to type these days. Still; if I can find a moment later this week, I will bullet-point the process in a nutshell somewhere in this ad. And in the meantime; please check out the previous ‘Texas-Bound’ ads for an idea of how these itineraries work, the smooth flow n’ logical order of Pickups and Deliveries, that is.

As of December 1, I have four (4) Pickups/five (5) Deliveries lined up so far; see photos 2-4 for Google Maps screen captures of the current itinerary and the corresponding list here (id est, more Pickups/Deliveries will hopefully be added which, logically, will alter the itinerary, but which all Sellers and Customers will be apprised of renewed ETAs):

Saturday, 11/28:
*Pickup at Altoona (PA) Reptile Show (not depicted)
Monday, 11/30:
A. Pickup
Tuesday, 12/1:
B. Pickup + Delivery (from A. Pickup)
C. Delivery (from 11/28 Pickup)
D. Pickup
Thursday, 12/3:
E. Delivery (from me)
F. Delivery (from D. Pickup)
Friday, 12/4:
G. Delivery (from B. Pickup)
H. Home

Nota Bene: Google Maps Stop times show to be sooner, therefore the overall itinerary to be completed a lot sooner, based on nonstop driving, but I am doing this itinerary solo, and being realistic based on the first two (2) itineraries anyhow, I have adjusted for later days/times in creating more accurate ETAs, but also to accommodate sleep for myself on this one. As Pickups/Deliveries are added, ETAs may or may not be affected.

Please share these ads like wildfire! The more shipments the merrier! And as far as payment options ($125), it is preferable for the Customer (Recipient) to pay me directly, but one Seller on the first itinerary chose to pay me for two of his three Customers instead, as did one Seller on the second itinerary. Payment will be due upon securing the shipment from the Seller, whether from the Customer (preferable) or the Seller. My payment option details:

Zelle: [email protected]
Venmo: Burzum999
PayPal: PayPal.Me/Burzum999/125 (main site), or send to [email protected] (app, mobile site)
Square: *Over the phone unless You trust credit card details or photos via email or text which I would immediately delete, but this is NOT recommended*

I thank You in advance for Your (continuing) patronage, especially in the wake of Delta’s dreadful return on Veteran’s Day (11/11)! I offer so many benefits to our service including daily inspections with photos and videos sent as proof (Customers love this!), live arrival guarantee (ask for terms or details), no special crating nor IATA labels, flexibility and versatility including able to change course last minute, direct communication (and timely responses) with the carrier of Your precious gems, et cetera.

Sincerely,

Timothy Gould

Updated itinerary 11/29, looking to be very small compared to the first two with still only three (3) Pickups/four (4) Deliveries, but different ones from the original ‘draft’.

Nota Bene: As of this moment, I appear to be doing this itinerary solo, so, Stops will be a little slower/delayed due to needing sleep.
