Now, What do you guys think of breeders makeing you sign for the packages? Personaly i hate it just because this has happened. I know they do it for good reasons, but id much rather have it to where the guarantees work only if you sign for the package, but if you do not it is left on the front porch. This could lead to problems but trust me, if you have a reptile coming your not likly to forget to check every five seconds.
How can you guarantee live arrival if FedEx dumps the snake on somebody's porch and walks away because they don't have to get a signature? This is a living creature we're talking about here that could be left baking in the sun, stolen by a neighbour, whatever. Signing for the package is the only reasonable, sane thing to do as far as I'm concerned when you are dealing with living creatures.

As far as I'm aware Reptster is supposed to be working on some sort of deal with UPS much as they have set up with FedEx.
