There is at least one internet-based supplier who sends out live animals via Royal Mail. Totally illegal but they still do it. I was somewhat shocked and surprised when I ordered from them and a Royal Mail Parcelforce van delivered my order!!

Which was it? Royal Mail or Parcel Force?

AFAIK Parcelforce is Royal Mail's "larger than a letter" service.

Either way, though, their specific terms and conditions do forbid sending live vertebrates - we had to read through and agree to them in order to get a franking machine at work.

Before I knew better, I got a snake delivered via TNT and sent baby dragons away using the same.
Nowadays, I would never ever use this option, as I now know better.

Being in Scotland, the animals available are not the same as down south, as such I would assume we would more often use couriers. Any animals I need sent/collected will be done using Steve at SWA... my friend has used him several times and says he is great
