Is this usually how an online order goes?

I do think in the future I will try someone a little more responsive.. temps here are in the 20s and I stayed home from work this morning expecting him to come "by 10:30am" says the tracking number... but he wasn't even shipped yet. Hopefully Bob is just waiting to ship until warmer temps come along, but a little communication would ease my mind.

Did you actually put the tracking number into FedEx's site to see where the snake is or if it had even been shipped(which it hadnt you said). I generally ignore any notifications through email once i get a tracking number and then just go by FedEx's site.

Also if it is is the 20s where you are, i really doubt Bob is going to ship until it warms up. That is just way too cold.

My main concern is just the shipping communication.. I was nervous when I got an email that said the snake would be delivered to me today at 10:30am since I have work.. I did take the morning off just in case. Perhaps the shipping email is an automated thing as well? It was from NEX, which is a third party shipping company. It did say the pick up date was the 29th though, so I called to confirm with both NEX and FedEx that it had never actually been picked up (which it hadn't).

Yes, and I called them as well and they said they hadn't received anything yesterday. I called again this morning around 8:00 am to make sure nothing was going to be delivered to my house while I wasn't home. I was inquiring about a snake from another breeder and they did let me know they weren't shipping to MA since it's so cold here, which I presume is a common practice for the safety of the snake

Well.. I got my shipment confirmation with 0 communication from Bob...

Do you know how long they're good for?? I think it's scheduled for delivery by 10:30 but I don't get out of work until 3:30. It's right next door though so I'll be able to grab him as soon as I'm out of work!! I appreciate your optimism lol

The standard is to use a 40 hours heat pack additionally since you get the animal delivered at FedEx there is no worry as the a box will be kept at room temp.
