From what I've heard, UPS is not allowing ANY third party shipping. Shipyourreptiles.com has sent out numerous notifications. I haven't heard anything from Reptiles Express but it was my understanding that this was not just specifically for Shipyourreptiles.com. If I'm mistaken, someone please correct me. This really sucks as it means even small hobbiests will have to get Fedex or UPS approved unless this is lifted.
