reptile taxi

[jaysnakeman]

just had a bosc and viv delivered by the reptile taxi and thought id just say that i thought the service was excellent,fast and reasonably priced, so if anyones thinking about using them but was unsure i'll just say i wouldn't hesitate to use them again

Ah yes, i should add..
they delivered my new uromastyx BOB, viv and equipment last week also.
Absolutely great service, lovely ladies and a very good price.

And my baby boa, Nyx...he arrived safely and must have been well looked after because he was nice and alert and didn't seem stressed .

who? jake?

they charge £10 per 100 miles (thats what i was quoted) i think that pretty damn cheap considering the price of fuel nowadays, only one gripe tho, im 400 miles away and was quoted £80? charge for their return trip too! still the price is great but im in scotland so it hardly seems worth an extra £80 on top of the price of a rep, imagine i was buying one of your corns nige! would be ok if you got someone to go halfs tho.
still, i dont know how they can charge a tenner per hundred miles, do you use a solar powered car? would cost me £100 on fuel to go 100 miles in my wheels!

yer £20 from manchester to Anglesey. Cheap probably be using the reptile taxi sometime

[mike mc]

i always wondered how they make a living off it,maybe they have jobs and do it for extra cash

[DeanThorpe]

The prices are cheaper now than they were originally because they have more jobs, so they dont have to do all the way wherever and back for one job so the price comes down.

I hope they continue to do well and have more and more stops to make it all more worthwhile and keep the fee's down.

If it is worked on a milage though then im not sure.

we quoted ross and leanne that price as it was a rescue we said we would only charge them for the petrol, and as it was an 800mile round trip from manchester to bristol to west lothian and back to manchester. our time was offered free, and as dean has pointed out if we have a few jobs in similar areas our costs are reduced. we do make regular journeys down south and try to tie in as many jobs as we can then it is cheaper for all concerned. when we delivered to dean we had set out from manchester at 6am and didnt get home till 3am because we had quite a few deliveries down south and everyone benefitted because individual costs were cheaper, we didnt get much sleep but thats business for you!!
