Delayed snake...

I'm glad they found her. I bet she arrives just fine.

Glad to hear she's ok. I'd let the seller know that UPS messed up. Might convince him to take his business elsewhere.

Because of one missed shipment? Granted, I believe this would have been a shipping cost money back scenario under SYR's insurance policy.

Yes. Also, we still don't know if that snake will arrive ok or DOA, so don't jump to conclusions. There's a heat wave in the area right now so idk what temps that snake could have been exposed to, even though it's in an ok area now. I just don't like to play around when it comes to the health of the snakes. Why take chances with UPS when other places have better track records?

So far as the supervisor I talked to (from the RI hub) said, she's been inside the hub the whole time, but we are also keeping the breeder up to speed.

By the time I realized the snake was being sent via UPS, it was too late to change it. I will be making sure I insist on FedEx in the future. Guess I was too naive to think people were still shipping UPS with its track record of losing packages (not only snakes but all packages). I just hope this girl doesn't suffer or die because of some dumb human's (be it mine or the breeder's) mistake.

I live 3 minutes from the Warwick RI hub and believe me.. They are a horrible hub. The few animals Ive ordered that went to that destination got "lost" and not picked up, thus never delivered. Ive had to go there myself to pick one up once after never showing up by 1030 even though the tracking info said it was on the truck. And one other time my bearded dragon got lost and went out on the wrong truck and they had thier manager deliver it to me at 11 pm at night in their own car because of their mistake which was nice but I was still very mad. And two other live shipments came way after the 1030 delivery time.

Sorry, I just hate that hub so much I feel like they mess up everything. You should be fine though I know many people who had snakes come in a day late with zero issues.

She's now out of that hub... I know in my mind that she's most likely okay but I'm still a huge worrywart.

They're a lot hardier than people give them credit for. She should be fine. :)
