Tinley or out of state shows (How to transport?)

[Cheesenugget]

I am thinking about going to the Tinley show later this year or next year. If we are to go, we would be flying in instead of driving since it is so far from where we are. How do you bring your animal home if you are flying? Is there a ShipYourReptiles vendor there that helps you ship out your animal after the show is over? Do you bring it to the local FedEx to get it shipped back to your house? Does the vendor hold it for you until they can ship it to you after the show? Or do you bring it with you on the plane or as cargo?

Ship Your Reptiles has a booth at the show and can take care of your shipping needs for purchases made. I have not had to do this because I'm fairly local, so I'd just recommend stopping to talk to them before you make a purchase to find out how it works.

Yes, we are at each Tinley Park NARBC show, and we ship out from the show. We have packaging supplies available at the ShipYourReptiles booth, and we book your package at the table.

We accept live animal packages on Sunday, and they stay in a locked room until FedEx pickup Monday morning, for Overnight delivery on Tuesday. We also ship out dry goods and merchandise, so if you pick up some cool (non-glass) merch, t-shirts, books, etc, we can also get those packaged and shipped out Ground for you as well. Makes it easier than stuffing your suitcase or lugging in-hand through the airport.

Best to stop by mid-day Saturday for boxes and supplies, as the most popular sizes may run out quickly, always difficult to anticipate!
