I have been very disappointed with the lack of reasonably priced reptile couriers in this country (Scotland in particular), this is why i have decided to start my own service.

I own a transit style van and i am awaiting the DEFRA liecence arriving, so by the time i start i will be DEFRA registered. I am based in Scotand but plan on doing north to south runs on a monthly or bi-monthly basis depending on demand, to see how this goes.

The van will be fitted with thermostaticly controlled electric blankets and a heater to maintain an ambient air temp to ensure all your reps are nice and snug during transport.

The proposed cost of the service will be a flat fee of £50 for a single collection/ drop off. There will be discouonted rates for multi collections/ drop offs, contact me for prices.

I will have in place some strict procedures to safe gaurd clients and myself against scammers i.e. I will be asking for photo's of the animals to ensure that these are the correct animals for delivery. i will aslo require contact numbers for both parties to inform of pick up/ drop off. also there will be paperwork for the parties to sign to say that the animals are fit and healthy for transport and that they have been deliverd. If for any reason I am not happy with the condition of the animals, i reserve the right to refuse transportation and i will contact the poeple concerned to let them know and give my reasons. this is also to safe gaurd the other animals in transit.


The van will also be installed with alcohol gel for use between transactions and will also be full disenfected after each run.


If there is enough demand i will be doing a run to essex for bob clarks delevery on the 10th of december. There will also be pick ups / drop offs on the way. If intrested fell free to pm or Email me at
repti-bus@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks for reading

Kevin
