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. I prepare the package
and drop it off at a FedEx facility near the school where I teach. This
FedEx facility is the last pickup (7 pm) on the way to the sorting
facility at the airport (only 10 minutes away). The animal will
travel to FedEx's central sorting facility in Memphis TN before being
routed to your location. I use Priority Overnight shipping so as long as you're 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, 60 hour heat packs, or cold packs if warranted by the
conditions. 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 30-90 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 one problem will lead to the animal
being stranded in a warehouse for the weekend.
