Has anyone had to wait all day long for their critter to get to them or has the drop off time been way off? I didn't even know UPS shipped live animals....

Yup, it's not even Wednesday/Thursday and I'm a mess!!!
When i ship snakes i have them delivered by 10:30 am next day.All but one shipment in two years of shipping has had a problem.I am not sure how UPS has there delivery stuff,but with fedex the drivers are penilized if a delivery is late.In other words if it says by 10:30 am that driver had better get it their.Some of the older people who have been shipping for years used UPS before they changed there rules.So they are considered Grandfather claused into the allowing them to still ship thru UPS.Once you get the package tracking numbers you can go online and moniter the progress of the package.Keep us posted and we need to see pics of your new addition
