Repster Shipping Feedback

There was a thread back in July with some feedback but I wanted to get something a little more recent since its been a few months now and more people could have used the service in that time.

I'm really curious to see if anyone has run into a problem shipping with them and if so how did it go resolving the issue with Fed-Ex.

I'm getting ready to ship out one of my snakes for a loan and this will be my first time shipping. My only worry using Repster is how to resolve a possible shipment issue if it occurs.

If you've had a positive experience with Repster that feedback is also welcome.

Thanks! :snake:

I did a trade, a kenyan sand boa for a young redtail boa, and we did the shipping through Reptster, it was very very cheap and we didnt have any problems, the animals arrived safely and on time. Overall it was a great experience and I would use them again.

A) the buyer gets a better deal.

B) the seller gets convience plus makes there snake more attractive to a buyer by lower overall cost.

C) david young of reptster.com is a great guy to work with.

seems like a win win situation to me.

BTW UPS is soon to be another option.

We've shipped over 30 packages with them so far this year and have not had the first problem.

We had a bit of trouble, NOT with Repster itself, but with Fedex being weird with our package.

A plane broke down and our shipment was showing to still be in the origin hub, when in reality it was put onto another plane and heading for me. The morning I was supposed to recieve the shipment, both the seller (Heather) and I were on the phones with Fedex trying to find out where our package was.

Fedex told us it was in California.

Heather talked with the Repster guy and he was instrumental in finding where our package was (actually in Michigan!) and getting it to us the very next morning. :)

Word to that...

I've had trouble with Fedex being a problem, not Reptster.

It'd happened a couple of times. Lucky me, but Dave was always on top of it.

yeah i've had good experiences with the shipping side, but i ordered some supplies and they took way too long. besides that, i just realized that gordon food services (GFS) has everything superior enterprizes has for about half the cost... and i have a store 5 minutes from my house.

but yes, the shipping portal is as easy as it gets and the cost really is significantly lower... i've heard of just as many problems with delta dash as fedex/ups, so what can ya do?

I've used it several times now with great success. My only frustrations has been interface on reptster and form errors you can get if you don't fill it out exactly as you should...

Ditto. And Reptster was all out of the size boxes I needed, so I had to go to FedEx to get some, then go to Home Depot to buy the foam insulation, but other than that I have no complaints so far.

Edit: Ditto, except I haven't used it several times, yet.

Haven't had any issues with it and the savings are nice to pass along...
