Looking at the feedback they've had its just been a few bad trip ups and there customers have jumped ship...

theres that age old sayin that sometimes you get what you pay for. Though not knockin it, if quality can be given at low prices then im all for it unfortunately price is most peoples priority and sometimes the more cost effective bulk runs just dont work out and when animals lives are involved there is very little room for error.

which is more important to you? price or experience? just a curious question. Though ive not used anyone else so cant comment on the services offered by them, i know i would much prefer to send my animals by someone who has good quality of service feedback who is a little more expensive than with someone who doesnt have the best (for whatever reason it may be) but is cheaper

Havnt decided who im going to use and was merely commenting on how there the cheapest around, sorry if you saw it differently

oh no i didnt see it differently, sorry if you thought i was having a go, cos im not, just tryna give you another view point thats all. I do realise that at this time with the credit crunch n all that money does play a big part in things, but you still have to weigh up the cost with the reputation too. im just sayin id rather pay a little more to a courier that has a good rep to make sure my animal gets to me safe, cos if something happened to them using a courier thats financially more viable with a bad rep, then its money wasted innit, not to mention the animals welfare could potentially be jeopardised

Reptile taxi is a bit dearer but their service is outstanding. You know exactly what's happening all the way. They offer a more personal service.

I used JM - they phoned me to tell me they had picked the snake up - then phoned to say they were about an hour away and then again to say they would be here in 30 mins - they were and I had no problems with them at all.

but the ones with a good quality of service feedback had to start somewhere so a new courier firm can't get the feedback till they've done a reasonable amount of business.
