Residential Shipping

[DAN916]

I'm purchasing a snake from SerpenCo and was wondering if I should include a "business" name with my shipping address??

Is the business an actual storefront? Or is it a house in a residential area?

Unless Rich has changed his flat-shipping-fee policy, I can't see it making any difference... but in general, shipping companies charge less to ship to a storefront than to a house. It reduces the odds of having to redeliver.

I agree with Kat

I don't really see a difference unless Rich did change his shipping policy...

Actually it does make a little bit of difference. FedEx prefers shipping to a business address, so I try to use one whenever I can.

Plus they do charge a little less for business deliveries then they do for residential deliveries.

FedEx dimensionalizes all my boxes, so my cost of shipping is substantially higher with them then it was with UPS. UPS has a floor of 1 cubic foot in volume before they dimensionalize. FedEx dimensionalizes every box.
