SYR vs. Reptiles Express: MAJOR price difference

[SlitherinSisters]

We offer a consistent and reliable 20% off the FedEx retail rate at ShipYourReptiles. As your volume grows, so can the discount. If you have a question about your rate, always feel free to contact me directly, I am happy to help- Robyn@ShipYourReptiles.com

I don't know what is going on at RE. Sometimes the rate is up, sometimes it is down. I can't remember the last time their "FedEx retail rate" figure was accurate.

We bring much more to the table than a discounted rate though.

We work VERY HARD to support the reptile industry. We offer unparalleled customer service. We offer an On-Time and Live Arrival Insurance program that is the only one of its kind in the industry, entirely self-funded. You won't find that with any competitors, including FedEx, UPS or Delta Dash directly.

We have a micro-donation program that allows you to donate as little as 50 cents per shipment to USARK and PIJAC, money that goes to protect your very future to keep, breed and ship reptiles. In just a few months we have sent over $2000 to those organizations. We are super proud of that program, we can all make a difference, only 50 cents at a time!

We pay to advertise at dozens of reptile, amphibian and invert forums, we buy tables at the largest reptile shows of the year, and we donate free shipments to fund raisers, charity causes and other benefits throughout the year.

We are developing a new scholarship program now that will provide COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS for young herpers looking to further their education. (Exciting!)

I spend a lot of time each week answering questions about reptile shipping at forums and Fb pages, we are looking to help folks with the proper shipping info whether you are our direct customer or not.

Competitive companies don't do any of that. We work VERY HARD to support the reptile industry. We are the industry leader, and we strive to set the best possible example. We provide the tools, knowledge and support for folks to ship their live reptiles and amphibians safely and responsibly. We deeply appreciate each and every customer, and we would love to have your continued support.

Ugh, I thought my post went through the day when I thanked this one. Bare with me here, our power was on and off that day.

It's nice to read all the stuff you guys do for our hobby. I have let myself be bullied into using other shipping methods to save money. A good deal is big weakness of mine I don't have a problem spending a little more money to support a business that does a lot for me/the hobby. Thanks for the info Robyn!
