    Exclamation Shipping advice!

    Hey guys

    The temps in dallas are highest 100f and the lower 81f and in Baltimore the highet would be

    What you need is to know the temps in 3 locations at 3 different times to give you an idea on whether you should ship or not and what to use.

    Origin which should be around 6.00 pm 6.30 pm when the animal is drop off (the later the animal is dropped off the less time is spent in the box)

    Main hub where your animal will usually be between 10 pm to around 5 AM

    Destination 6 to 7 am if it is a hub, 10.30 or more if it is home delivery.

    So if the temperature exceed the optimal shipping temps in any of those 3 zones at the time they are schedule to be there, common sense would be not to ship.

    Can you ship at an work location? Yes but I would advise to get a signature in that case and explain to the customer that he should make sure with his employer that it is ok to do so given the nature of the package.

    You can get help with regulating the temperature in your shipping box here: https://shipyourreptiles.com/en/get-...ds#question-15.

    And if you don't have an account with ShipYourReptiles already, go to shipyourreptiles.com and sign up for an account. You can order shipping supplies and get detailed instructions on how to ship on their website (their customer service is top notch as well). When you are ready to book your first shipment, use discount code BPnet40 to save 40% off of your first shipment.
