I had two turtles shipped to me from the forbidden State of NJ. I don't think the person sending them knew the laws and I was not familiar either until I read some of the old threads about shipping.
Anyway, the person was turned down at UPS and FEDEX, so they Priority Expressed them through USPS. That is where the bad news comes in. Since the shipper is not returning my phone calls this morning, I do not know when USPS promised them as a delivery date or time. The seller led me to believe that this was going to be an overnight ship and the turtles will get to me tomorrow. Which I had planned for, because I am off of work. What is listed on USPS tracking site for my turtles is Thursday at 3 pm. That is 50+ hours to be shipped and the sad part is, I will be at work when they arrive. If there is no one home then they cannot be signed for and will not be delivered.
I am really only venting here, because it is done and I cannot change it. I will just have to wait to see what the end result is. So, I guess when breeders say, "Know your State Laws" , I guess that is true to everyone. Not just buyers.
So, I guess I am not panicking, I am just angry.
