[QUOTE="Synapze, post: 348668, member: 10818"] I prefer UPS and FedEx, unfortunately I don't drive (blind) so it does make it inconvenient, unless I'm sending out a lot on the same day... then I'll Uber them to drop off. 😀 With the rise in postal rates and delays many breeders/dealers must require Express shipping. I understand the rational completely. Delayed deliveries often result in dead specimens and the breeder usually catches the heat (and possibly bad feedback) because of something they can't control. Unfortunately, these changes have made it too expensive for many keepers. I remember when I could buy a $20 specimen and pay around $27+. Now because of delays, that same specimen will cost $50+. Many beginners can't justify the cost. 😕 Anger directed at the breeder is unwarranted. In my opinion, If the delay is caused by the shipping service, people should take that into consideration before they leave bad feedback for the breeder. [/QUOTE]
