    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....

Where is the thread?...

Where is the info on proper packaging of a test package to ship to FedEx's Package Test Lab? I could have sworn there was a thread on here about it. I could be wrong... any help would be nice. I'd like to get this all taken care of ASAP! :) Thanks.
 
Thank you... I couldn't find it, I guess I should have looked harder... ok, in addition to my previous question, what is the specific packaging you need to do for the test box and for the actual boxes you send with live reptiles in them? Believe me, I've been to FedEx's website, the only info I can find online is UPS's shipping stuff...
Thanks everyone! :)

You won't find packaging instructions/requirements FedEx's site - they do not specify how you package (although they could probably eliminate this step if they stated: In order to ship reptiles via FedEx, they must be packaged in the following manner... But then people wouldn't be happy because their box wasn't on the list) Anyway, after they receive the package, they do a series of tests - compression, drop, vibration - and open/inspect the inside. I will try to post my test results so you can see.

as for the question of how to package the box you send to them - I believe those instructions are on the test application. you do not necessarily need to overbox (package your test box inside another for shipping), but it is recommended. The only drawback is if you don't have a box big enough to fit your test package. Good luck. The process isn't all that bad...getting it started is usually the hardest part. Once my rep finally contacted me, I was done in 3 weeks.
 
Thank you all... having pictures makes it easier to understand (I don't read directions... I leave that to my husband!)
