Which is exactly what fastways do they are a franchise, the drivers pay the company to become part of their service. They use their own vans so its the same as driving them their yourself

i wouldn't, where's your come back if anything goes wrong, and with the conditions their being sent in you've not got much chance of whatever you've bought arriving in the best condition

As said before we use them and a fair few other reptile keepers use them as well.
We have never had a problem using them every.
We have one driver that collects and keeps them in the front of the van.
They then go to the depo and are transfered to another van (they still go in the front of the van)
We also use 60 hour heat packs so the reptiles are warm on their travels

Just to point out again, fastway,tnt,dhl,amtrack,fedex etc ARE NOT COURIERS. they are parcel delivery companies, ie; i am in brighton and i send a parcel to birmingham, it will be collected from me and taken to the local hub, then loaded onto a trolley and trunked to gatwick or heathrow, unloaded and sorted into destination depot postcodes then put in another tolley and taken to the destination depot, then unloaded and put into delivery postcode trollys and sit in a depot till the delivery driver turns up.
Couriers go from a to b direct, Hand to Hand
