Shipping discussions

[Robyn@TRR]

Yeah, ridiculous isn't it? What friggen difference does it make. Apparently, if you go with SYR, fedEx WILL deliver your reptile to a residence but not if you ship it yourself as a certified reptile shipper. WTF?

Whatever. They're both just ridiculous and I'm not asking anyone to pay $105 to ship. It's up to them if they want to do that and this is the first I've heard any complaints about my shipping. Nobody goes asking telling me "hey, I'd rather you ship using SYR at 3 times the rate". Yeah, not a lot of demand for that I noticed.

We have never met, but I get the feeling that nothing will make you happy. That's a shame. It is also a shame that you thumb your nose at reptile shipping regulations because "you can". You put us all in jeopardy with that selfish approach. I guess your "getting out of the business" lasted less than 24 hours?

We have thousands of folks using our service and getting a terrific result, I'm sorry that you see no benefit to it. I would STRONGLY encourage you to do the RIGHT thing and get individually FedEx certified.

Who said I ever changed that decision? Not currently in business anyway.

Apparently, that won't work either. I'm not a business and shipping 8-10 packages a year hardly constitutes one. If I were to use SYR, I think they would be making far more money on the deal than I, you know, the person with the product, the one doing all the work and investment of time and money. Look, I'm not saying it's not a good service or anything like that. I'm saying the cost is ridiculous. $105 from me to NY. No on time insurance, not including packaging, etc. That's outrageous.

A 12x9x6 box at 3 pounds is $67 to ship from California to NY, all the way across the country, you can run a quick free quote at ShipYourReptiles.com. That is where the rate STARTS, and can better from there.

Does spending half a million dollars to start our business and build the website count? LOL.

And yet, 12X12X12 (the size I use most often) 2lbs, from my zip (in the Portland/Vancouver metro area) to 11385 costs $105.52 and that's with no on-time insurance or anything. And no, it doesn't "get better" from there being how that price is the only way I can ship a live snake. It only goes up, when you start adding the things it doesn't include. I'm just going by the USPS receipt I have here. That's what I mailed. Guaranteed on time or your money back. Price was $36.45. So, apparently, it's buy those weird dimension boxes from you guys, then it's cheaper. Buy a box elsewhere (I don't recall ever seeing a shipping box that I can buy like that one) and you charged up the... for shipping. I see. It's like those cheap printers. Buy the printer cheap, but to refill it costs a fortune.

You totally missed to point again apparently.

Well don't leave it at that. If a point was missed, explain what the point was.

Honestly I am not sure how serious you are. You give me the chuckles at your obstinance. I think maybe you are being difficult just for fun. I'm not offended, it is kinda entertaining, but probably wears thin pretty quick.

I am not sure what goes in the blue world you live in, but the "weird" box size of 12x9x6 is by far the most common box in the reptile shipping world. It is the number one seller of every reptile packaging supplier online. "Weird".

Yes, if you use a larger box, the rate is higher. Again, not sure if you are trying to be "funny" by pointing this out, but I am laughing, so, success? : )
