Fedex lost shipment >.<

[Morphie]

Those :expletive:!

I was having 2 adults sent to me overnight, and they are *somewhere* at the facility in Indianapolis. I called this morning (TWICE!) to see what the deal was when the tracking showed this info, and they assured me that everything was on time. I accidentally shipped them to my old address, so i literally ran over there to wait. After two hours of waiting, i called again and was informed that my tracking info was correct after all, and they *are* still in INDIANAPOLIS.

:::string of expletives:::

...anyone know what to do?? They put a trace on the package, which means they'll have more concrete info in the next 24 hours (TWENTY FOUR HOURS!).

What if they die because of FedEX clumsiness???? I'm freaking out.

If the person who shipped them packed them properly taking into account temperatures between the two cities (putting in a cool pack using an insulated box for example), then they should be fine. Doesn't make the worry any less. Hope they find them soon for you!

Have you asked the shipper to get involved on his end, to contact his account rep to see what they can do to expedite finding them?

Do contact the person you bought them from!!!!

They should be fine, if the person packed them well. I know of a person who shipped snakes via USPS. Yes the snakes were in transit for 4 days and made it.

Keep us updated

I am hoping that he packaged properly. He has been a good seller so far, so i have no real reason to expect that he did anything but the right thing for the little dudes.

I had them put a trace. I've left the seller a message asking that he do whatever he can, but I'm not sure what else could possibly be done. They know there's a problem, they've mobilized in order to solve it, and they've flagged the shipment as an emergency case. All i can do is wait.

...time to practice being patient.

Four days! I must say that is encouraging.

Wow - i would be furious and so worried. I really hope they get to you safely!!

[ADEE]

A well packed snake will be just fine for an extra day or two. I had a shipment get delayed two days. While it's frusturating and nerve-racking; I'm sure they'll be ok.

Well, after all day of waiting for the lady to call me, i call her and find out she has left for the day. They're allegedly going to deliver tomorrow between 9 and 10:30, but i'll probably wait from 8:00 onward just to be sure.

I better get, like, free shipping for a year. This ordeal has been ridiculous.

(turns out the package lost its label and was sent to the lost and found facility, and it has been there all day. It has been opened and looked through by the crew, who then had to verify it was indeed mine. They can't put snakes on commercial flights so it had to wait for tonight to ship and should be here tomorrow.)

did they know what was in it before they opened it up?
