I weighed the box and it weighs the same as it said. The UPS man wasn't there when I opened it. I'm going to try and figure out where he actually lives. The address I sent my animals to was, apparently, not his address. They were being received by someone who knew him while he was at work. According to that guy, the kid lives in Lowell, MA but the phone # he gave me for contacting the kid was a cell phone based in Nashua, NH, where I sent my animals. So I'm all confused.
