Shipping
I have legal shipping status to ship with FedEx. My animals are shipped out in packages that are clearly labeled as containing live boa constrictors.
I also offer international shipping - you can read more about this option at
this link.
I currently offer the following method for domestic shipping of your animal:
-
FedEx Priority Overnight service (Overnight door-to-door
service)
For convenience, this service can't be beat. The animal will be picked up
at my house in Raleigh, NC between 6-8 pm. I schedule to be the last
pickup of the day so the driver then takes the animal directly to
FedEx's facility at the airport. I use Priority Overnight shipping so as long as you are not in a remote
area, the package is guaranteed to
arrive at your door by 10:30 the following morning. From my experiences, the
package is usually delivered before 10 am to your door. Therefore, total
transit time is usually limited to 12-18 hours. I use insulated shipping
containers (see details below) and
40 hour heat packs (when appropriate). I will check the weather forecast
for Raleigh, Memphis (the location of FedEx's central sorting
facility), and your location before shipping an animal. Unless we agree to
alternative arrangements, I will only ship if the temperature is forecast
to stay between 35-90 F. The cost of this service is included in my prices. Once I schedule the shipment, I will email you the
tracking number so that you can track the package at FedEx's web site (fedex.com).
I only schedule shipments for Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Thursday
shipments are not an option because I problem will lead to the animal
being stranded in a warehouse for the weekend.
