If you are working with a reputable breeder/dealer, you have a solid first step. If that breeder is shipping with ShipYourReptiles, you should let OUR STAFF handle any delays or issues for you. We work with a much higher level of account servicing than what you can access on your own with 1-800-FedEx. We are always happy to help!

And to put it all in perspective, at SYR we ship 1500 live reptile packages each week. Delays and exceptions/issues are typically less than 3% of packages. FedEx does an outstanding job overall, and it's a safe and responsible way to transport reptiles.

Delays can happen, but don't let it get you balled up and stressed out, in most instances, it is smooth and easy!
