I have a Leo coming today but the shipper didn't inform UPS it's a live animal...UPS usually delivers here after 6...will she be okay until then?
Though that was quite (funny now that we know the beardie is okay) a story...it didn't help the worry lol!!! [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND COLD SWEAT] I'm trying hard to not watch the time but every minute is now taking twice as long to pass lol...thank you guys I'll let you know when she arrives!Laura Currado said:We were waiting on a Bearded Dragon last March. He was to be held at the hub due to the season and our location, but the breeder didn't put "Live Animal" on the box as they're required to do as live animals often get stolen in transit. Instead, the box was marked "Perishable". UPS put our expensive dragon in the cooler! Not their fault...but had my husband not been watching the tracking number like a hawk, the animal would have died. As it was, he drove home with the dragon inside his coat; said the lizard felt like a vegetable pulled from the fridge!

I shipped a tortoise that UPS lost in transit. It was lost for 5 days. When it finally arrived it was perfectly fine. Tortoises are resilient creatures. I'm sure it will be just fine!

Not necessarily although it does happen. Most times though like I said earlier, the shipping company delivers in a fashion that is the most cost efficient to them. Which you can't blame them for...
I live in the middle of a cornfield

I also let the driver know there is a tort or critter on board they look at me like I'm crazy, but they are really good about it. This is coming from someone who works for UPS and loads the trucks
