Aside from the other issues I will make some comments on the shipping and this goes for Matt and anyone that has shipped or would think about shipping with inadequate shipping supply.
Some days I really wonder what goes through one’s mind that they decide to ship a LIVE animal in a less then appropriate package (whether it is makeshift box put together or a box not designed to ship a live animal) – Boxes used in the shipping of lived animals are tested and designed to withstand a certain amount of pressure, altering a box or using a box not designed to that effect means jeopardizing the animal inside the box.
1# Are people that cheap? Hard to believe in this case that one would be when they brag about making $10000 in a little over a month.2# Do they care so little that they have no issue jeopardizing the life of their animal(s) and jeopardizing the ability of the rest of us to be able to ship our animals?pulled in a little more than $10k in just over one month between my 3 jobs
3# Are they that clueless? Again hard to believe in this caseThere is ABSOLUTELY no excuse for an animal to be shipped in such a way, the box could have been easily crushed and lead to the animal’s death.In over 5 years and almost 700 transactions
What is the animal had escaped from this inadequate package? (More bad press for reptile keepers, really what we need, don’t we)
Someone has a LOT to learn even thoughI guess you must have missed the chapter on proper shipping methodsI have also invested about 17 years of reading, owning, and learning everything I could about reptiles and animals in general.
Next time when using SYR, how about watching the video and read the proper way to package a live reptile if you are that clueless.
Your shipping methods are not only inappropriate (even if you only do it once) and making you look bad they can affect the rest of us as well.
Would you have send this type of package to Fedex to be certified, you would have NEVER received a certification.
