I'm thinking about getting FedEx certified too...Hoping the process isn't too time consuming...

SYR doesn't say anything on the site about not shipping snakes...

If someone didn't know what do you think could happen?

I was speculating maybe someone shipped something venemous and something went bad with the shipment?..or maybe someone was using SYR to ship something other than reptiles? I could be totally off as I dont know the whole process but the venemous theory came to mind.

fed ex might be the way t ogo but does hte process have o be renewed every year or so ?? I hate to spend high dollar money renewing somethig i may only use 3-4 times. in my life ( right now at this point sincce not selling only buying)

No once you get approved to ship "live harmless reptiles" via Fed-Ex priority overnight, then as long as your account stays active then your good to go.

It is a bit of a process to get the account setup..get with you account rep. Sign and return all the papers, setup and send your test package, get all of the Test info back and get your certified approval number..

If everything goes smooth it took us about 2 months to get everything done from start to finish..

fedex overall is a better deal. if you are a sams club member you can get around 20 percent off of overnight shipments.

?? that's hilarious... how exactly would this work? we shop there for some stuff but don't have our own membership... this might convince me to get our own instead of going with the in-laws.

I just checked that out. There is a $100 annual fee to join as a Plus member. If you think that you would save at least $100 by either shopping at Sams or with shipping, then it's not a bad deal. I think I might join.
