This is true. No personal certification needed, as you're technically shipping through the Reptster account.
Re: How to become FedEx Certified to ship reptiles....
Will they still let you ship snakes if you are not certified?
I have to ship a snake and i have a fedEx account but I am not ceritfied. :(
Re: How to become FedEx Certified to ship reptiles....
Getting "certified" through repster is as easy as signing up and watching the video.
Also...something to note that I read over at faunaclassifieds is that supposedly you can get the same discount reptster gets (if not better) if you waive some of fed ex's responsibility. Which if you think about it is almost nil anyway because the seller is the one typically guaranteeing live arrival.
Anyone else heard this or know more?
I like the concept of reptster but so far haven't been very happy with the implementation. It will be great someday but right now it's pretty mediocre (interface, reliability, etc)
Re: How to become FedEx Certified to ship reptiles....
i have not heard that... i didn't think you could really pick and choose what you get charged with a shipping company. that doesn't make business sense to me...?

FedEx sales reps have a lot of leeway in the amount of discount that they can give to their accounts/customers. If you've ever logged in to the FedEx website and requested a quote you may have noticed that it gives two prices ... the FedEx standard rate and "your rate" ... the reason for the two quotes is because many FedEx accounts receive discounts.
It's similar to my business ... my customers that buy from me year after year get much better discounts that I can give to someone buying for the first time. Many other types of businesses do the same.
Make friends with your FedEx sales rep ... I talk to mine at least once a month ... and I definitely don't pay the standard FedEx rates. ;)
Hope this helps.

Re: How to become FedEx Certified to ship reptiles....
good info... i use fedex, i guess maybe i'm paying too much! haha
Re: How to become FedEx Certified to ship reptiles....
Do you think I would be able to get bigger discounts once I get certified because I personly know someone who owns a fedex store?:banana:
Re: How to become FedEx Certified to ship reptiles....
I need to do some of this sometime soon. Thanks for all the info.:gj:
