        <![CDATA[ Well, I dropped off two boxes of snakes to be shipped today and was very unpleasantly surprised by the bill I got. I ship all my stuff Delta Dash because I
like the same day delivery aspect and always hated the thought of an animal sitting in a warehouse overnight somewhere in Memphis.


But, effective today (May 1st), Delta raised their prices significantly. A normal package with one or two snakes would normally run about $80. The prices have
gone up to a whopping $105 per package. I walked... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, one company I won&#39;t use is UPS. I used them twice in the past and they screwed up the shipment miserably both times.
<br>
<br>
As for Delta Dash, it seems to be the safest alternative (providing the temps are right in the plane), but it&#39;s an hour to the airport from where I
live...and the price keeps jumping. Fed Ex seems to be pretty consistent, but I&#39;ve never used them before. I&#39;m thinking about opening an account with
them, but I&#39;ve heard they are real picky about... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well I just shipped a snake out to Sony Raju, and it cost me $113 through UPS!  Only $18 of that was the &quot;fuel surcharge&quot;.  My box was large though,
so that was a lot to do with it, and it was almost 6 lbs. total.  I hate shipping, I think I am just going to keep all my babies now! ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Gary, I think it was me that helped get you with a rep that would help you. I&#39;ve been shipping with Fed Ex for years and although they&#39;ve been late
occasionally, I&#39;ve never had a dead snake. Shipping hasn&#39;t been too bad for me. $45 I think the last time I shipped a small box of snakes out. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have an account with FedEx and have sent and received multiple packages through them with no problems whatsoever. Prices have increased but it really depends
on the size and weight of the box and also how far it is going, if it is in a residential area, and if you want to have a signature required. The process to
become certified to ship reptiles is not horribly complicated either. I usually pack up my animals and drop them off at whatever shipping center has the latest
pick up hours,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve been using Delta for the last 4 months and have shipped probably 20 snakes, and will ship my 5.5 scrub group on Saturday. I&#39;ve been paying about
$95 with insurance per box, although you can tape 2 boxes together and they will count as one.
<br>
<br>
So far everyone has arrived safe and sound and there have been only two delays in Atlanta, but both were anticipated by way of tracking on the Delta website.

What I like about Delta Dash is that I pull the snakes out of... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey Kevin,
<br>
<br>
That box was probably 14 x 11 z 10.  I sent out the same size box this morning with Delta... $111.00!  I&#39;m in the process of setting up FedEx and just got
my packaging approved this afternoon.  For the heck of it I calculated what the shipping would have been with my FedEx account and it was around $55!  Amazing,
I can&#39;t wait to start using them.

			<description><![CDATA[ Wow Kevin. I sent two out Fed Ex this week and it was right at $50. Do you have a shipping account with them? Having an account will grant you a significant
discount. Also box size has everything to do with cost. Most of my box sizes are 10x8x8 or close to that. In my opinion, the more confined the better. It&#39;s
much easier to regulate temps in extreme weather situations. ]]></description>

last animal I Delta Dashed was, Python Pete 3/4 Diamond Crosses purchased from Pete, it was a while ago. I remember they were delayed and I had to pick them up
at the airport at around 11:30 PM. uGGh, Give me Fed Ex anytime. : ) ]]></description>

You folks are living in &quot;easy street&quot; down in the Lower 48. UP here, we now pay $4/gal + for gas at the pump, with some other communities paying $7
and $8 per gal. Our electric utility rates just got raised 537% due to a major avalanche that took out our entire hydro power, so we are running on backup
diesel oil generators spending over 1 million dollars a day!!!! the average household will be paying close to 2K per month on electrical utilities and that... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I&#39;m sure rising fuel costs are adding to Delta&#39;s rate increases.
<br>
<br>
With that said, while there is no &quot;perfect shipper&quot;, I left Delta two years ago and I&#39;ve never looked back.
<br>
I was a huge fan of Delta until my 10th+ package got lost while connecting in Atlanta.
<br>
<br>
I exclusively ship FedEx now.  You can ship legally, rates are substantially less than Delta&#39;s, and in most case; they&#39;ll ship door to door.
