There's not much to offer in the way of tips for receiving. Just make sure you get the tracking number and be up and ready for the FedEx truck in the morning. Don't attack the delivery guy when he drives up, he'll think you're a little weird! LOL
DO make sure that you contact the seller to let them know that your baby arrived safe and sound once you've unpacked him/her and got them settled. We also love to hear that you love your new baby!
Also, if you have ANY concerns at all with the animal, contact your seller IMMEDIATELY - know their TOS regarding the sale.
