How to become Fedex Certified?

That How-to thread is also from 2006, things change fairly often. I also wanted to know if there were easier ways or different ways to do so.

I love the information on this site and I am very thankful that everyone is here to help one-another but people need to lay off the attitude giving for questions like this. So what if its been asked before? Doesn't hurt to get it up on the front page for a day or two. Can't bring back old threads because someone will complain about that too.

They had to call up the wildlife desk in Memphis to confirm that SYR is allowed to ship business-to-residential.

(And for the purposes of the transation, I guess SYR/All-Pro Shipping is the "business" in the business-to-residential shipment.)

That's an unfortunate experience but at least it worked out in the end. I have a world ship center reasonably close to me so I never get any questions. They get so many odd and unique shipments that they never even blink at live animals.

On the other hand, my Fed Ex delivery person does blink at live animals and I've had to have my incoming shipments held for pickup due to her belief that snakes are wrong to own and dangerous (lizards are just weird but harmless). I guess it's a mixed bag who you get.
