    FedEx?
    Hi. I am setting up my package to get certified through FedEx. WHat should I put on the package? Do I have to put Python Regius or something? Also when I ship the test package do I use their account or what do I do about that? Also I got a 24 hour heat pack since thats the highest my local store had, would that be fine? Also after I send the test package what else do I have to do? Thank you.

    I've called them four time's to get certified good luck. Their customer service is terrible I'm going to try again. I'm pretty sure they set up a test run for your package which they ship at no charge then if you pass they certify you.

    Andre,this is exactly what i did to my box.I placed the containers i use for shipping the reptiles in inside the box,make sure to tape the lids for extra security.Then i packed newspapers around the containers for extra cushion.Now you have to use boxes that are like the ones from , www.SuperiorEnterprise.com .They have styrofoam inside the boxes.If you do not use these exact boxes, you have to have a box that does have the styrofoam inside and it must be like the boxes that you will use to ship when you really ship reptiles.One question for you,do they know you are a minor? I am not sure if they will approve a certification for a minor.Let me know if you need anymore help.

    Emilio,you can not get certified by just calling them.You need to ask to talk to a rep from your area.

    I have to wait for my funds to get to my paypal account so I can get an account with FedEx. Do you have to be 18 or over? Also is a 24 hour heatpack good?

    Call Fedex and ask for you local rep. I don't think anyone here has delt with trying to get certified being under 18. Your fedex rep should be able to answer all the fedex related questions. As for the heat pad it all depends on the temp at the time your wanting to ship. if your shipping to Millwaukee WI in the dead of winter then yea a heat pad is good! If your sending your sending to me in the heat of summer them no a heat pad is bad. All things you'll need to plan as you ship.

    hope this helps

    But will they not certify me because I use a 24 hour heat pack for the test?

    Why do you have to wait for funds to get to your paypal account.When i shipped my test package to there Memphis TN testing building they paid for the shipping the box to them and when it was returned to me.Do not waste the heatpack by opening it,just tape it to the inside top of the inner box and thats good enough.Now as far as the age you need to speak to them directly about that.Since you are a minor you are to young to enter in a binding contract legally.This is concidered a contract.Let us know what they say.Be honest with them or when they do catch that you are a minor they will cancel your contract in a blink of a eye for lying to them.
