Delta shippers

Just got certified they didn't charge me a fee, although they did say a 6 box min. per month. I doubt I'll be able to do 6 a month especially at their prices but it's nice to have none the less.

You pull that crap at my place and you get bit. I got some that come out of the tub at you.. That'll teach them

At $110 -$118 per shipment its not worth shipping with delta unless its a very large order and you can ship it priority first.

Shipping FedEx we can ship a double stack (2 boxes taped together) of the biggest boxes they make : 29"x16"x9" from Maine to California for $112 and they only have about an xtra 5-6 hours of travel time than delta does, but go directly from here to Memphis instead of here to Boston then Atlanta then to the customer.

Just not worth it any more....

Thanks for all the info.

The only reason I was joggling the idea of using them is that I heard they are the only one's who guarantee live arrival. I know FedEx doesn't, which is what I usually ship through.

That's a laugh. Have an animal killed in shipping with Delta, and try to get a penny out of them. They never gave me a cent when I lost a $3000 animal (even though the box was insured for the standard $750).

Not sure if they still have the rule but it used to be you had to ship 6 boxes in the fist year or they close your account.

We used to ship 5-6 boxes a week with delta but FedEx is more reliable and a lot cheaper, so unless its a really big order, I prefer FedEx.

I just filled out the online form a couple of weeks ago (have not been contacted yet), and the fee is $60 (application fee. But it stated that it may be charged. I have not paid anything so far).
