Tracking a Snake

Amazing how often one can check and recheck a shipping site to see where a snake is isn't it LOL. Ailish got to Louisville, KY about 30 minutes ago. Not like I was checking every few minutes or anything! :oops:

I swear it doesn't matter how many snakes we've had shipped in, I never relax when they are in transit and have to obsessively check the shipping company site till I finally see that "on truck for delivery" notification.

I went back and looked at some pics of her Jo... beautiful girl! *Sigh* So jealous... ;)

Whenever i send out a snake i check the progress every hour lol.Majority of the time they only update every 6 hours :mad: .Is this a new flu? Reptile seperation flu lol.Or in your case Snake parent anxiety time waiting pressure flu :rolleye2: . lol

Thanks Lynn! We can't wait to get her home with us tomorrow! Here's a pic of lovely Ailish whose on her way tonight from Robin's home in Georgia to our home here in Ohio (save anyone else from having to go looking for one LOL). She's a nice 05 and well over 600 grams these days. I love how she has that spot on her neck stripe just like Malachi does.

I'll take a couple of pics before I tuck her up in her tub after she arrives in the morning.

Oh Joanna she's stunning! I've done the same thing with the tracking when my corns were shipped to me (I picked up Puzzle to avoid shipping). I just left the browser window open and clicked refresh until the wee hours of the night and then again as soon as I got up in the morning LOL I hope she arrives with no troubles and settles in well for you.

I swear sometimes in the morning Joe I just want to call the local delivery depot by 7 a.m. and insist they get off their butts, put down their coffee and get that truck rolling LOL.

Thanks for the compliments. We think she's pretty darn gorgeous and will fit in beautifully with our other females. Robin tells me she's got a great feeding response and a bit of an attitude....just the kind of BP I love the most! Now if morning would only come so I can tuck her in the lovely tub that's all clean and toasty warm just waiting for her to arrive!

LMAO Let us know when she arrives.

She's "out for delivery" - the worst part of the waiting game knowing she's close but not here quite yet LOL.

LOL; I am doing the same thing! My little girl from Cue is being tracked by me; she left Tennessee at about 4AM, and left out of Rochester around 830; I am biting my fingernails (or would be if I did that..)

Well let's just say Robin and I are both less than pleased. She's been "out for delivery" since 8:46 a.m. this morning (it's now 12:57 p.m.) from a delivery depot not 20 minutes from our house! grrrrrrrrrrrrrr Some "overnight for 10:30 a.m. delivery" quarantee that was!

So at this point Robin's phoned and I'm pacing and waiting and watching. There goes our lunch at the park I had planned for Mikey today. :mad: The worst part really is just worrying that Ailish is okay.

The "out for delivery" is the worst .....

She will be there soon I just know it!!!!

I bet she is fine. Looks like the temp is 79 right now. I would suggest calling FedEx 800 463 3339 and see if you can get some details on what's up. Crossing my fingers for ya!

A few weeks ago I shiped my very first time!!! I was up pretty late that night and pretty early in ythe moringin i WAS UP. I checked the package loction every 30 mins. The last time I had checked it it was 11:00 IT SAID YTHE PACKAGE WAS DELIVERED!!!!!!!! I ran outside and looked on my door step...not one box(I saw the FedEx truck pass my house 2 times..... i got in a pannic and my mom called the FedEx place and they said they were going to pick it up from the house thye left it on and bring it here!!!!! well it would take several hours!! i said yeah right . Me and my mom stoped at ever 405 in my subdevion in my neiborhood and at the last one my snakes were sitting on the front POORCH!!!!!!
I was so happy ,I opped the box dug throught the newspaper and into the snake bag and there they were 2 deli cups with little bitty cornsnakes!!!! Couldnt imagion how relived I was! The weather was in the perfect climate for them too, 82 deggres and 75 % humidity(high) and raining!

Yep temps are good here Chris and Robin has called, multiple times. Some very rude woman gave her a line about mechanical issues and a plane (probably their standard excuse). Amazing that it's now almost 5 hours since she was scanned as on the truck out of Maumee, OH which is basically the south end of Toledo and all of a 20 minute drive from my house. Last word is she should be here by 3:30 p.m. as the driver is delivery "on route"...basically no priority...just whenever he shows up in our part of the city. Ridiculous considering the way Toledo is laid out you can basically be anywhere in this city in under 20 minutes unless it's rush hour. What crappy service!

If you have the patience I would call them, get connected to the local hub and find the location of your package. Then pick it up yourself. The uncertainty would kill me!!

man Jo, i know EXACTLY what you're talking about. when my red ackie was being shipped i was up by 6 in the morning when i normally would be up at around 10 on a day off. i sat by the front window for like an hour! the suspense just KILLS you.

i hope everything goes well and congradulations!

She got her safe and sound at 1:58 p.m. I'll start a new thread to show off her pics LOL.

w00t!! awesome!

I can't believe I missed this thread - oh wait - maybe it was because I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THE "CUSTOMER NO-SERVICE" GROUP, every hour on the hour after each hour passed that they said "someone will call you within the hour to give you a status" and the call never came.


What a nightmare. I call back tomorrow to try to get a refund on the "guaranteed by 10:30" delivery. Sheesh - I was so mad I was ready to cry, and all the while I'm worried about dear Skye (now Ailish) just traveling all over Toledo, or even worse, that they lost the package.

When someone finally called she said "our manager told the drivers to do trace deliveries only". What are trace deliveries? Oh - that's when the driver delivers whenever he gets to the area - he didn't leave the hub until 9:30 this morning, so he's under no obligation to deliver by 10:30 - so it should be delivered by 3:00. Last thing I said was "UNFRIGGING BELIEVABLE!" before I slammed the phone (well ok, vigorously closed my cell phone)! LOL

Poor Jo read two books sitting on the porch waiting for her! LOL

I am tracking two snakes right now......took off work this morning so that I would be here to get them....just a waiting game now....and you all will get pics after they arrive ;)
