Snake shipping packaging

[gulfexports159]

If i use ship your reptiles to ship a snake do I need ot use the special boxes or could I just use a brown boa and write live harmless reptile on it? Also, can I use ship your reptiles to ship to canada? Do i need to be fedex certified or anything?

No you don't need to use their boxes but it's easiest because you do need an insulated box (they provide the styrofoam insert) and it needs to be labelled correctly in accordance with the Lacey Act (they provide all the labels you need).
Not sure about shipping to Canada, you should check the SYR website.
You don't need to be Fedex certified to ship with SYR.

There are definitely packaging requirements and shipping standards that you must meet to ship live reptiles, including through ShipYourReptiles.

Our packaging selection, specifically our Shipping Kits, meet those standards.

You cannot export live reptiles to Canada casually, and not with ShipYourReptiles.

Export shipments require all kinds of special permits, licensing and duties. If you are not a licensed exporter, you would need to use a broker like Dynasty Reptiles. Fees typically start around $1000 for an export shipment.

ok thanks for the help and I had no idea it was that expensive.

Domestic shipping is typically quite affordable, exports include all kinds of red tape and fees : )
