    FedEx Weekend Shipping ?

    Why do most if not all sellers only ship monday to wednesday? No weekend delivery for live animals? Is it because fedex dont allow live animals deliveries on weekends? Im confused. Thanks for any input.

    Because what happens if your package was lost on a thursday, and found on friday, you wouldn't get it till saturday, it costs more to ship over night on saturdays, and what happens if it gets shipped on friday and it is stoped and you cant get it till monday! It is just safer.

    take the day off of work when youre expecting a package, and cover a shift that comming weekend ( if possible)

    or work a later shift that day ( and i might have just noticed you may have been joking )

    you could see about them holding packages at the facility for you. *shrug* not quite sure how one would go about that, as i just get anything to my door. Anybody?

    Your best answer is to go to a show, and make all of your purchases in person on the weekend.

    Thanks, I think so to. But here in Sacramento, Ca its only once a year and not that much selection.

    Next best thing is to have someone accept it for me, but everyone is scared(w/ reptiles) in my family. lol. haha
