Not terribly stressed.

Apparently a box that says "Fragile" and "HANDLE WITH CARE" isn't enough for a shipping place to take mind.

Yeah, they are baby ball pythons.

Though the box arrived in great shape and the packing was great, so I think they weren't jostled around too much.
Thanks!
Glad they arrived in good shape!

Those are my concerns too. There's a gate at the top of my driveway, and shipping companies won't come through it. The postman does call me when I get a package so I can come up and receive it, but UPS and FedEx just drop it and leave (UPS blasts their horn a couple times too, disturbing everyone and getting every dog in the neighborhood to bark...). So one time I ordered a saddle, and on the day it was due to arrive I heard the UPS truck blasting their horn. So I grab my shoes and start walking up the driveway. I am almost to the gate and there's my package... flying over the gate, hitting the ground with a large THUD. Plastered all over the box were "fragile" and "this side up" stickers, too. Thankfully the saddle was not damaged. The driver was already in the truck and leaving when I started yelling at him.
So I understand your concerns. If they handle our shipments in that manner in front of us, what do they do when no one is looking?
