Shipping Questions??? I need your help!

[stargazed85]

I have never shipped before and was wondering if you guys could chime in on tips or the basics. I read Jamie's shipping sticky and it was very helpful! But here are my questions.

Which company is the best? (I'm shipping to Puerto Rico. The boy prefers Fed-Ex)

Which is the most reasonable?

Do I have to be certified?

Also I am shipping two normal breeders weighing about 1320 grams a piece. Could I ship them together as long as I pick out the right box with all the right necessities and bag them separately?

Any help would be great. Thanks

Puerto Rico is a whole other story...

West Coast Jungle has had experience with that, but I have never shipped that far before.

Plenty experience in the States, but never PR.

The guy has a ton of rep and ships back and forth all the time. He made it sound simple by basically saying shipping through fed-ex works the best where he is located. I didn't realize there was extra circumstances shipping to PR. Thanks for the help.

But could you help me answer my question about shipping both of my girls together? If I bagged them separately and made sure everything was A1 would that work? They weigh about 1320 grams a piece.

One box should be fine. Two bags, lots of cushioning inbetween, and whatever temp adjusting factors you would need (Heat or cold pack).

Are there legalities to shipping pythons to Puerto Rico?

Great!

This may sound really funny and very corny, but oh well.. I feel like your a BP celebrity around here. All I hear is people talk so great and high about you. I think that's wonderful.

Thanks for the help.

From what the guy told me, no. He never mentioned anything about that. He just mentioned I should use Fed-Ex because they are the best in his area when it come's to shipping.

He's a really nice guy. Maybe he forgot to mention it. I will check into it. I thought since it is part of the U.S we would have no problems.

Ball Pythons are 100 percent legal in PR......Should be no problem
