Fedex shipping

I just get certified to ship fedex im just curious when you ship your snakes do you drop the snake of at a fedex department or do you call to have a fedex driver pick the snake up from your house.

Book the shipment online through your account.

Drop it off at your local Fedex store or hub.

I always like to call first and check when the latest I can drop the animal off is. Its usually 30 minutes or so before they're expecting the driver at the local Fedex facility. That way the animal is in a box for as least amount of time as possible.

does it have to be at there main facility because I have a packaging department that is closer that uses fedex, ups and so on. Its not just fedex

I believe its supposed to be a FedEx staffed location.

I concur. This is optimal. Our FedEx hub lists last drop off as 8 pm. We get there at around 7:30 or so to minimize transit time as much as possible.

If the box gets picked up at your house, it will be sitting in the back of a truck all day, possibly under a bunch of other boxes. And, unloading is no gentle process. Minimize the time that the box is in the shipper's hands as much as you can.

Ok thanks, for the advice.
