UPS problem?

[shadowx362]

well I am thinking of shipping reptiles this year and so i ordered the UPS book that tell you the rates and how to ship thing and stuff and I saw a part that said they will not care if you wright "handle with care" and arrows pointing the direction of the box should be pointing and other labels like that:main_lipsrsealed: . So my question is now knowing this why bother even writing the special thing on the box anymore? would you still do it even though they wouldn't do anything about it?

I don't think it would hurt, but I use fedex..

You dont need to write handle with care, you do need to write, "Live Harmless Reptile(s)" And also an itemized list of what is in there.

I have worked in a receiving department for several years and believe me FedEx is the company I would choose based on what I see day after day.

I don't think it matters. Whatever company you use there is a high likely hood of your package being tossed around. When it's 3, 4 or 5 am on the preload shift they don't care what the box says, they just want to go home. Fortunately nothing hardly ever goes wrong during shipping anyway.
