HELP!!!bp's lost in the mail what are the chances??

[wilomn]

There's the tang of the ocean floating about this thread. Well nigh fishy you might say.

This is why Big Gunns never likes to ship on Thursday. BG has had some lost before, all but one were OK. You need to watch out when you call though, if you say it's a snake they may stop it in it's tracks and confiscate it. This may have happened anyway.

There's not much you can do but hope for the best. You can keep calling, but don't say it's a snake if he's not a verified shipper with UPS.


As far as it being "illegal". As far as BG knows it's not "illegal"(depending on the laws for the species in that state), it's against UPS policy unless you're a verified shipper of reptiles though. For some reason, even if you are a "verified shipper" you can still have problems with both Fed X and UPS. You would think they'd straighten this out by now with their employees, but it seems they have not.


Good luck.

Hey Big,

It was USPS not UPS.

Do you read these posts or just start mouthing off with no regard to the people posting.

oh yes, it was shipped via usps. I was told it was going out fedex on wed. I told him they never got here and he's frantically called as many numbers as i have, a lot of the ppl i talk to have allready talked to him and know the situation BUT can't find it. This is a disaster. As for getting my money back if they died wow i payed with 2 postal money orders so wtf. i just donn't even want to think about it cause it's gonna suck i'm sure i'm just hoping they arrive alive tom. ok

im sure they will be fine. you would be surprised with what these guys can handle. remember they are wild animals so they will fight to survive as long as they can. i had some show up late and it didnt look good at first but after i warmed um up they were fine. any later than tomorrow tho and i would be worried

Until the post below yours - no where have I seen the OP confirm that it was sent through USPS - and I've seen many a member say that their animals came through the "mail" when in fact it was shipped UPS and Fedex.

Might want to take it down a notch or two before doing exactly what you just accused BG of doing.

Just to clarify one more time - did they use the US Postal Service (US Mail) or did they ship via FedEx or UPS (brown)? Big difference between number 1 and the other two. You can also be in huge trouble violating the Lacey act if this guy shipped snakes through the USPS (government) vs. FedEx or UPS.

This post lists both USPS and FedEx

I had this happen when Fedex's plane broke down and it had to spend the night at their hub. The shipper had multiple snakes on that plane (insert movie joke here) and was on the phone with them all day ensuring that they were put in a climate controlled area. Snakes arrived fine. I was frantic as it was my first ever order and a high dollar one at that but it worked out okay.

What's up with the attitude someone peed in your cheerios.

Until the post that was posted after yours the OP said in the mail which I asked to clarified since I have seen people before use in the mail even when refering to UPS and Fedex so until the OP actually answered and said USPS there was no certainty still none actually.

So is it USPS or Fedex because your post is far from being clear here.

[MsPrada]

he shipped it usps too!!!

This was in the first post...but I'm not sure if that is "comfirmed" or not?

Anyway, did the postal people say anything about it being illegal? Do they know if someone discovered it and 'confiscated' them?
