    Interestingly enough I lived in several countries and postal services all have one thing in common they how horrendous.
    ill have to disagree with you on that. i use USPS for any other things and have never had a problem with them. UPS is garbage and i hate using them to ship anything.

    if USPS changed rules so that it was legal to ship reptiles or inverts (Ts and scorpions) i would use them without question. to me, its USPS, FEDEX, or nothing.

    Maybe UPS and USPS are different where you live, but USPS where I live is pretty bad. They have lost my packages on several occasions. I have never had any issues with UPS, and have shipped and received snake and non-snake packages with them many times. I actually like UPS better than FedEx for snake shipments. I did have a couple FedEx snake shipments get lost. Luckily they found them not long after and were only a couple of hours late.

    Re: Postal Service Snake Shipping Poll

    last UPS shippment i made was for snakes. i didn't want to do it for other reason and i don't feel like arguing those at this time. the person i was shipping to insisted on using them so i did. the package was supposed to be there around noon but didn't show up till 7.

    every over night shippment i have made with USPS has showed up on time all over the country. made its just where you live.....im sure its different every where but USPS has been good to me.
