The company has established an agreement that must be completed and adhered to before any snakes can be shipped. This includes the following shipping requirements:
- UPS Next Day Air Service: For the well-being of your snakes, all shipments must be sent via UPS Next Day Air® service to guarantee your reptiles arrive quickly and safely at their destination.
- ISTA-Approved Packaging: All snakes must be shipped in packaging approved by the International Safe Transit Association (ISTA), which is designed to provide optimal conditions and minimize stress during transit.
According to the company, the agreement is designed to ensure that the well-being of these animals are paramount and shipped under conditions that ensure the snakes health. The snakes can be dropped off and picked up at any UPS location and you can schedule a pickup at your home or business for door to door delivery.
