It certainly helps ... I've heard horror stories about snakes being caught in east bum screw hundreds of miles from both shipper and receiver because a DHL station manager discovered a box with a snake in it (they have the right to open and inspect packages) .... From what I hear, DHL's policy when this happens is to call the receiver and say "come get your snake".

Sometimes even though the shippers local DHL office is "totally cool with it", that doesn't mean some hard a$$ along the way won't try and stop the shipment. Not to sound like a cheerleader, but shipping via FedEx or air cargo are certainly the ways to go!
