Reptiles Express
Reptiles Express is membership-based services that supply shipping facilities and reduced FedEx services to reptiles, amphibians, and related goods for development and distribution.
As a high-volume shipper, FedEx has secured rates that enable them to give their Member customers significant discounts off regular transport costs.
Premium Crickets , Phat Jack Farms and Georgia Crickets – big manufacturers of live feeder insects in the United States – are the company’s owners.
You made use of this current arrangement with FedEx to provide you with this facility.

FedEx has already approved your account for Reptiles – saving you trouble dealing with FedEx for this exemption.
To maintain their FedEx account, they (their members) must meet FedEx’s terms and conditions. They must adhere.
FedEx wants ReptilesExpress to know and judge how to market labels to its clients.
If a shipper misjudged them and sells labels that breach the rules, they risk losing Live Animal Waiver – not good for anyone.
They will contact you to confirm your account after you register for membership. Their operation may deliver no venomous snakes at all.
You must promise to understand national rules and not ship snakes in states where it prohibited such animals.
You would also have to accept the use of authorized delivery and shipping services.
In the case of additional charges from FedEx, they will have to keep your credit card in a file (e.g. incorrect weight entered when label purchased, etc).

ReptilesExpress Canada Shipping
Their new program – exporting the reptiles to Canada. In the past, you had to work with other corporations and government departments to reach Canadian consumers for your animal.
Now, you are managing the shipping as a whole with just one business, ReptilesExpress.
Question 1: What Animals Can I Ship?
CITES governs all animals (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna Flora). Both animals are categorized in four different categories;
Non-CITES
The most directly exported species are these animals!
The most common of these species are crest geckos, leopard geckos, maize snakes, and Western Hognose snacks.
The main is not CITES. Because of Australian law, many non-cited animals may present a problem with exports (Bearded Dragons, knob-tailed geckos & Blue Tongue Skinks to name a few).
These plants are now told to avoid exporting.
CITES I
Appendix I include species threatened with extinction. Trade-in specimens permitted these species only in exceptional circumstances.
At this time, they do not offer this appendix for export. An animal you may not know what’s in this category is the Dumerils Boa!
CITES II
It is the most frequent CITES appendix! Here live Ball Pythons, Boa Constrictors, and other creatures like Panther Chameleons! You should ship this Appendix.
But the wait is lengthy for the paperwork. The turnaround for US Fish and Wildlife usually takes 2-3 months. There is also a $100 USFWS non-refundable premium.
CITES III
Is a very unusual Appendix in Reptiles and amphibians but you don’t have to think about this at this moment!
Question 2: What costs my reptile in Canada for delivery to a customer?
They will ship the reptile for the first time within seconds to your domestic client! Visit the ReptilesExpress.com Fast Shipping Quotation system.
Enter your Zip number, Zipcode (recipient) of your customer, weight, and package size, and press “Go.”
The price includes the FedEx Priority sticker for delivering your animal to its Atlantean facilities, testing fees for fish & fauna, retention fees, brokerage fees, customs fees, and delivery fees to your Toronto partner in Toronto, refreshment fees, and FedEx Priority for Toronto distribution to your Canadian client.
If you wish to send several animals simultaneously to several buyers, the system makes the price for the whole shipment fast.
Additional charges for CITES II and 5 percent VAT (Value Added Tax) are allowed.
Question 3: How does the service work?
To keep service rates as stable for anyone as possible, they send animals to shipping ‘classes.’ ReptilesExpress schedules all-party shipments.
You are happy to ship your order on your own if you don’t want to expect a party shipping! Instead of saving on the community price, you pay the maximum USFW rate.
These shipments will be shipped in Toronto to their girlfriend, Reptile Runner. Reptile Runner divides the orders and directly transfers them to the customers.
Question 4: How do I send a CITES II animal to my customer in Canada?
FWS needs 3 US shipping documents:
- CITES 11 licenses
- Animal Comment
- FWS Inspectorate
You will send documentation for one shipping on your behalf and party permits.
The FWS processing permits take 30 to 60 days. If you get the permit, they arrange a time to send your animal(s) in Canada to their client.
The cost of obtaining the CITES II authorizations is:
| Number of Animals Shipped | Import Permit Fee |
| 1 | $150.00 |
| 2 | $280.00 |
| 3+ | $400.00 |
They cannot reimburse the allowance payments. You must properly fill the forms out so that the fish and the animals may not refuse the license. At the scheduled time of delivery, the last payment of the shipping costs will be made.
Question 5: How do I send a non-CITES animal to my customer in Canada?
FWS requires two US shippers documents:
Animal Statement Type.
Inspection of FWS
FWS is not demanding the authorization to export to Canada your non-CITES cat.
You will supplement the declaration details to FWS during the inspection when you complete your order online for each animal.
When you put your shipping order, the available shipment dates are highlighted:
Question 6: Can I ship my Reptiles anywhere in Canada?
FedEx is not yet serving Canada as a whole with one-day service. If they deliver your shipment from their Toronto office within a two-day Priority Overnight zone, the shipment is not valid. For the cat, that’s far too long in transit.
You will determine, by adding customers zip code to the Fast quotation system, whether your shipment can qualify for ReptilesExpress shipping:
ReptileTracker
ReptileTracker™ is a combination of hardware and software that works together to provide a cellular LTEM network with the position, temperature, moisture, and other data.
Critics have a ReptilesExpressTM tracker in their shipping Reptile kit and allow travel via their website.
The reptiles’ app on your breeder’s mobile or website monitors the location of your reptiles in motion in almost real-time.
Signaling of main transit activities may require text messaging.
Question 7: Why use a High-Resolution Reptile Tracking solution?
The more details you have about your reptile in transit, the more likely it is that you will be alive and safer.
The efficiency of your packaging methods can be shown by temperature monitoring.
.
FedEx Package Tracking Current Low Information:
The FedEx data comes from the FedEx box scans during transit. These scans perform once or twice a day.
Typically, there are big holes between the position of your shipment and the ‘actual’ location for FedEx Tracking.
New High-Resolution ReptileTracking™ from ReptilesExpress™
ReptileTrackerTM incorporates Google Street View™ to show you exactly where your package was located.
Access your reptile shipment’s historical location and sensor info…and a lot, a lot more!
Question 8: Am I required to use the ReptileTracker™?
Currently, the European Union needs high-resolution, recorded records, and animal shipment monitoring.
They agree that time is only needed here in the United States and Canada before monitoring and travel data recording.
At the date of this announcement, high-resolution data logged on it does not require animal shipping from the United States government.
Question 9: What the ReptileTracker™ can’t do
Data cannot be sent by the Reptile Tracker while you are on the air or screened inside a jar.
Question10: What will the ReptileTracker™ cost?
They continue to focus on the price model and will reveal it in the immediate future. Their objective is to make this service as accessible as possible.
It will introduce as an optional separate service that incorporates ReptilesExpress.
Question 11: Is the Tracker disposable and suitable for one-time use?
The tracker is reusable. You will print a return label that includes your tracker when making your shipping label.
You take the tracker off and place it in a pre-paid sealed return box when your client gets their reptile.
Question 12: Can the ReptileTracker™ notify my customer that their shipment is about to be delivered?
When the package enters/leaves a zone (geo zone), a text message for the customer’s telephone is one of the best functions that they want.
Question 13: How many times have you or your customer sat around all day at your house waiting for FedEx to deliver your package?
Today, as the shipment stands several miles from the shipping zip code, you and your client will get a text message. Receive the text to get it back home.
Question 14: What are the benefits of integrating ReptileTracker™ into ReptilesExpress?
In reptilesExpessTM, the device can collect the customer’s zip code, phone number, name, etc when you create the shipment mark. All the data is transferred to the traceable ‘shipment’ on your tracking console and combined with the FedEx tracking number.
All the details you need are accessible for higher visibility of packaging position in one area.
Battery-powered detection tools. The battery life is limited every time a tracker sends or emits a signal.
The app ReptilesExpress changes the signal every 15 minutes when the shipment is in transit. The ReptilesExpress app switches signal propagation to 2 times a day until they ship your animal.
Question 15: Will ReptilesExpress customer support be able to provide better customer support when I use the ReptileTracker?
It is true! RE Customer Support can use everything you see in the management console. You can transfer parcels and run external delivery services on your behalf directly via FedEx.
It takes too much time for FedEx to find the shipment if a delay occurs.
Now that you have lost your order, they should say FedEx your pet where it is. In certain cases, the gap between live access and disaster is also several hours and saved in transit.
Question16: When will the ReptileTracker service be launched?
Most of the device is currently being developed and tested. Any of their clients take a beta test. You are scheduled to arrive in July/August.
Tracking of Package IoT and the LTE-M marketplace (the Internet of Things) are fast-growing. Look for several new improvements to your products quickly to help you expand your company quickly.

The biggest complaint from people is to purchase a label, put it on their package and bring it to the FedEx shop, only to let them know that FedEx won’t ship snakes.
To minimize this problem, you’ll receive a FedEx representative with a PDF file of their Live Animal Waiver for every order.
If you have any questions, you will have a ReptilesExpress contact number. Use this document to have your reptile shipped via FedEx as your ‘passport.’
Note that FedEx staff may refuse any packages where they believe these packages are not acceptable (for example, inappropriate packed) or “susceptible.”
This guideline was implemented after 11/9 and makes sense because it is a general guide to deal with suspicious things.
Please accept their opinion and call on the FedEx officials to solve the situation if you do not accept your package.
They can establish a strong partnership by fulfilling their terms and conditions to successfully expand their company.
You can now offer a lower shipping cost to your customers and grow your business.
