What I said in my original post is:

Don't take snake shipments to anywhere other than a FedEx Staffed location (use the search on the FedEx site) unless you get it approved with the store. Most Kinkos and other FedEx locations like pack and ship stores will not accept reptile shipments. Just because FedEx has to doesn't mean they do.


I stand by this due to MY experience. I've done quite a bit of shipping and this is what I have found. Also, whether this is true or not, I believe that boxes brought directly to a World Service Center spend less time on a truck before going to the airport. The people at the World Service Centers seem better trained and are not surprised to see a box w/ live animals inside being dropped off for shipment.

what you fail to know that fedex owns kinkos and they do have actual fedex staff there.

and as for the airport thing if i ship fedex it goes 50 miles the opposite direction of the airport then back another 70 miles to the actual airport when kinkos has a different truck and actually is the last pickup before going to the airport

No, I don't "fail to know that". I am well aware that FedEx owns Kinkos.

What exactly are you talking about?

How many reptiles have you shipped?

Incidentally, I would love to see some pics of your collection and the stuff you have produced! I looked back through threads and couldn't find any. We love pictures!

I'm sure Jamie figured that Fed Ex owns Kinkos.
Have you ever seen the employees at a FedEx/Kinko storefront? They are not exactly the most caring and efficient employees, at least at the 3 fedex/kinkos' by my house.
I personally care too much about my snakes to trust a minimum wage employee with my shipment.

I want to know what they would have done if there really were frozen rodents in the box? Put those in the cell too? :D

I totally agree with what Jamie says. I TRUST a Fedex center much more than a store.Luckily for me, I learned this when I first became certed, and had to ship out my initial dummy box. The first two places told me, "We don't ship that kinda thang!!!" I almost got into an argument with the people from the seconds place that I went to. Even though my Fedex agent told me they should have never denied my shipment, I still continued to go to the center....cause they were not shocked, knew what they were doing, and gave me excellent, brisk service :D

That little incident with the boas probably made Fedex look pretty bad.....people get soooo hyped up over nothing.

So, why was this even reported in the news? :confused:
