Actually you don't have to qualify with USPS. I ship with them all the time. You are allowed to ship "cold" blooded animals as long as it does NOT require them to have special handling and they must be packaged not to damage. I have a PDF on my blackberry that I could copy and paste the article that the post master actually sent me personally. I deal with the post office directly for my work and they explained it to me over the phone one day. I tell them when I ship corals that they are snails and they don't question a thing!

I have also shipped via UPS and they are fine too. Fed Ex does state what you mentioned so I don't like to deal with them. And of course DHL has now stopped all domestic shipments so they are done too.

Hope that helps.

Spankey!
