sales...local / shipping

With reptile shipping rates so high, do most breeders sell the majority of there snake/ lizards locally? or are most people willing to pay the shipping for a good quality animal. Here in Canada shipping is as much as 125 for a BP. I guess if you are purchasing a nigh priced morph 125$ isnt all that much when u are talking a few thousand dollars.

Wow the shipping rates around here are around $50,unless the buyer lives in the boondocks.Even then never even close to $125

S&H for the most part is between $40-$50 for FedEx or UPS next day air. Most are willing to pay the S&H or the breeder just includes it in the price of the snake or the breeder will pay for the S&H from his end.

If S&H is included in the price and you are buying more than one snake, make sure you get the discount for S&H if they are being shipped in the same box.

Same as the 3% PayPal charges, some sellers try and pass that on to the customer.

Normally its just the same price no matter how many snakes are in the box.

Well it usually costs more to ship more snakes because of the added weight, but less than shipping them all seperately.

It depends on the size of the two snakes as mentioned. From not costing anything extra to a few bucks more depending on weight.

Hey guy's how long did it take you to get Fed-ex certified?

I think it took us about two weeks.
