    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....

I just got a account with UPS for live shipping if anyone has the list of people when the petition was on here I would like to get it and as many numbers as I can for the people on it. My rep said they're would be no problem to get others online with UPS as long as the fall in the guidelines

Yeah, but isn't one of the guidelines, no snakes? That's why everybody is going with the new and improved Fed-Ex, finally a return to the good old days where you could legally ship snakes.
 
No it has right on the agreement harmless reptiles and amphibians including non venomous snakes
 
tom I am interested in jumping on this with ups as fed ex is still not getting back to me on my account and I dont like shipping fed ex without the account approval
 
I called UPS today and I get all my contract papers and legal stuff this week. I can use my acount now. As soon as I get the agreement stuff I will scan and post them here. Hope that helps everyone

Tom,

Have you received your contract papers from UPS for the "harmless reptile/SNAKE shipping account? If so, do you still plan on scanning them and posting it on here?

Please advise.

Thank you.

They gave me a account to ship reptiles. Now they are bitc@ing about snakes so now I have no idea what is going on damn shipping companys :hot:
 
Unless they specifically mention live harmless snakes as being allowed for you to ship, then assume that their GENERAL policy, which prohibits them, will be the rule you must follow. And do NOT accept a verbal exception!
 
Tom,

Welcome to the world of shipping! Who at UPS told you they would give you a "special" account for shipping harmless herps INCLUDING snakes? Was it your rep or someone at the UPS corp office? I believe in your very first post on this you stated that you had "something" from them stating that you would be given an account to ship SNAKES. Was it a email, fax, or what? From who? If you indeed have something from them in writing stating that you would be allowed to ship snakes, then at least you have something to hold over their head and you will win the battle, but I'm afraid you will still loose the war.

Were you and/or your UPS rep aware of the fact that UPS does allow the shipping of harmless herps, excluding snakes, with no special account required. This policy is now clearly stated on their website.

Please advise.

Thank you.

The statement i got about snakes was from my rep. And he signed it but the corp is say hell no so who knows?? No big deal for me I have a FEDEX account anyways but would be nice to have options
 
Hi, OK im confused . Do we need an account to ship live animals with UPS ? Because i started an account online but there was no mention of this type of account . Ill need to ship a package this week , so now i dont know what to do . Help ? LOL

Is there any company i can just show up at with a labeled package (live harmless yada yada X3) and ship without being 'pre approved' ?
