FedEx VS. UPS

[Dakotachristy84]

Correct me if i am wrong, cuz sometimes i am. You can ship Bearded Dragons with both fedex and UPS. I know there is talk about them starting to take snakes. Still not sure if i am correct, but if you can ship both fedex and ups, which one do you prefer and why? what are the pros and cons of each shipper? example which is cheaper or safer for the animals to travel with.

I never shipped any live animals before, so I have no idea which service is better, but here are links to their live animal shipping information:

UPS: http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/ship/packaging/guidelines/animals.html
FedEx: http://www.fedex.com/us/services/terms/us.html?link=4#liveanimals
USPS: http://www.usps.com/send/waystosendmail/extraservices/specialhandlingservice.htm (scroll down to Mailing Live Animals)

I prefer UPS as I have received a beardie from FedEx before and my son an I had to run out an yell at the delivery guy as he was tossing poor PVT Blaze around in the air. It said live animal all over the box. M0r0n!

My UPS guy is awesome an always very careful with my packages. Just last week I received an order of MVB's and the delivery guy reminded me to be careful as it was marked fragile.
