Never heard that before. Have you thought to ask them about it being a home based business? A lot of people run a business straight from their home...i'd use that as a way.

Another thing you can do is ship to the customer and have FedEx hold the package for the customer. The customer will have to come pick it up from the fedex facility. That's a nice way to do it too cuz then you don't have to worry about your animal riding in a truck till it arrives..ya know?
