7 out of the 10 BP's I have were shipped to me through either Airborne Express or UPS. (From Florida to here in Arizona). I have yet to have a problem with them. But, like Rplank said, expect to pay upwards $50 just for overnight shipping. I don't think UPS likes the idea of snake shipments, but that is a whole other thread. :sigh:
If you are willing to have it shipped across country, and pay the cash for it, I don't see why you wouldn't have it shipped to you. A free BP? It would have already been to my house LOL!!! Better yet, you can tell her to send him to me! LOL
Just explain to her to USE A HEATPACK (20+ hours is a must); as well as a styrofoam lined box, if you plan on doing it. I'm sure you know all this, but it kind of sounds like you haven't had experience with shipping snakes. I'm only trying to help.
