It's well known that when shipping Delta, Atlanta is a trouble spot. But, if you pack your animals well and do things to make your boxes stand out, you can safely get animals through Atlanta.

Delta is an airport to airport service that you have to apply to become a "verfied shipper" for. Unlike FedEx, you don't need to send in a box, but you do need to allow a Delta represenative to come out and inspect your facility. They want to confirm that you will be shipping reptiles and not "something else".

Hope this helps.

You also need to guarantee that you will be shipping at least 6 times per year. I'm not sure if they revoke your privileges if you don't meet that number. I didn't get verified because I am not shipping a lot yet.
