Default Courier

We are currently investing a lot of time and effort,not to mention money,into providing a top notch Herp and Equipment delivery service
Our aim is to provide the Reptile/Exotics keeping Community with a reliable,cost effective and most of all caring option to couriering there animals from Ato B with the least amount af stress and disruption possible
We are looking to be fully operational from April 1st(possibly sooner),Goods in Transit insurance is already in place,DEFRA Licensing is applied for,Vehicle is on order,etc...
Whilst this is for us a new venture,we,as a family have been in the transport business for 30 years plus and are confident enough to be able to provide a first class service
The way we see this servive going is that we will provide all packaging,eg Polyboxes and heat pads,when we collect your animals they will be placed into said packaging ,secured and clearly labeled to avoid any mishaps
Whilst we have done our homework,we would be greatfull for your feedback and any comments or concerns you may have after all this is a service to suit you

Great idea!
we alos do it, but are from Kent.
so you have no worries with us treading on your toes, the more the better i feel, as it helps keep costs down.
only a few do it, means some people have to go without, or pay alot..
if there are more services, i think it would be better, and cheaper for most.

all the best, and good luck.

are these guys private couriers?
surely they cant charge that if there is only one job on a run? or do they only do set days and bulk runs only?
we try to keep things as cheap as possible but sometimes there is just no feesable way of keepin the cost down when only one person wants a job thats a 600mile+ round trip
