Using your own packaging

[Stewart_Reptiles]

It's unclear to me what SYR even does for you. They allow you to print labels and have the package picked up at your house? Is this because you can't drop off live animals at the pick-up locations? Couldn't you go about all of these steps directly through UPS yourself?

I don't understand the purpose of SYR...

SYR does not use UPS nor should YOU use UPS when shipping snakes, it is against UPS policy to do so.

You can have your package picked up or dropped of at the hub, it is up to you however I would encourage to use common sense and not using pick up in extreme temps.

Using SYR allows you to print your shipping label without having to be fedex certified, it also allow you to ship residential to residential which is not allowed in your contract if you are fedex certified. People who are certified to ship reptiles via Fedex can only ship business to business in other word hub to hub and not door to door even if many do so.

Even though I am Fedex certified I benefit from a greater discounts when using SYR.

Lastly SYR has insurance available which is not the case. when using your own fedex account.
