• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

UPS, FedEx or USPS?

What are the advantages and disadvantages for each shipping company? I have not done this in a while and found USPS only offering 2 day and FedEx not officially allowing live animals. I have been in the business of and on for 25 years, and this changes often. I was once on FedEx, but then came back 10 years back and it was USPS.

I am shipping some lizards now, but will likely want to ship some snakes in the future. Any recommendations?
 
I think FedEx is the best. Much easier to hold your package at main shipping station, which has AC. Some of the smaller pick up and ship locations do not accept live reptiles as packages to hold.

At the UPS station, the package may be held in a un-AC room. I have picked up my package before with it on the ground in the main building, while other packages are held in a garage like setting with no AC.

USPS, sometimes they can hold your reptiles at station, other times they can't hold your reptiles at station, it is almost a toss up. From my understanding, FedEx overnight trucks at smaller and have AC.
