This message from them raised two big questions in my mind...one of which I asked in the Fauna thread.
First...what "outside pressure" cares that UPS would do business with a relatively small entity like RE or care that they would allow someone like RE to resell labels...and who are they that they would have that much influence over a giant like UPS in the first place?
The question I didn't ask because it's less well defined, but still makes me go "Huh???" .....
They state at the beginning of the message that there were "ONLY two more issues to work on"...as if there were a bunch of other big hurdles that they'd gotten over and were getting down to the finish line. Those two issues were "shipping snakes" and "3rd part shipping." Uhhh....DUH. So far as I know, those were the only two issues to begin with...and have been issues in one way or another from the beginning. And those two issues also happen to be the foundation of their entire business model, so far as I understand it.
The whole thing just feels a little.....off....to me. But I'm only going by what I see and have seen. I know for sure that I DO hope by some twist of a miracle that UPS finally pulls their heads out of their behinds and allows the herping community full (responsible!) use of its services.
