I like shiny things.....
Hi all! :wavey:
First off, let me begin by saying that I am sitting at my home, it's 4:04 pm. I have been waiting for a UPS delivery that was supposed to be here by 1030 this morning. In the package are two cornsnakes...an 04 bloodred female and an 04 pewter female. The temps outside are about 93 degrees and very humid.
Apparently my package (which was sent overnight air with a guaranteed delivery of 1030 this am) is on a truck about 2 hours from here. It has taken me 6 hours and dozens of phone calls to finally find it.:headbang: The hub station where it was delivered to this am at 0830 is a mere 35 minutes away. :realhot:
I contacted the shipper (Nicole from K&N reptiles) to be sure that there were cool packs in with them. She assured me that there are. I am sick with worry over these two little snakes. My husband (who is a police officer) has tracked down 3 UPS trucks so far in our area, and none of them have contained our animals.
I know corns are extremely resilient little creatures, but I feel that this is gross negligence and incompetence on the part of UPS. I am waiting to receive my package before I give them the tongue lashing they deserve. :flames:
Unfortunately, I have had the same experience with Fed-Ex in the past, so I am at a loss as to who to trust to ship my 'babies'.
Hey guys--thanks for listening--needed to vent.
I'll keep you posted.
