TNT Courier Service

[Joolz1975]

Hi

Got my tortoise this morning and the breeder used TNT as courier i was a little wary to be honesy, infact was a nervous wreck waiting for him to get here!

He arrived safetly securely packaged and the packaging didnt have any marks on it, it looks like its been taken very good care of indeed!

The delivery man was carrying the box like it was a newborn baby!

I know some people wont agree with using TNT as couriers for reptiles but i weighed up my options and it was either get one locally from a petshop (none of them had UK marginated when i went round them) or get one from a respected uk breeder and risk using TNT, i chose the latter and have to say i was very impressed!!

Wouldnt hesitate to use them again!

I used SW Animal Couriers and it was £44 from Liverpool to Cornwall Steve the Courier was absolutely brilliant and my little hoggy was fantastic.

I'd highly recommend his company to anyone wanting an animals delivered, totally faultless!

ive bought reps from differant places and they have always used TNT can not fault them they have always handled them with care and because where i live im sure if i used a rep courier i would be charged an arm and a leg where ive paid £24 with TNT

I arent sure where abouts you live but I know that Steve does a Scotland run every few weeks and the charge is the same. Always worth having a second option anytime aint it and as he keeps reptiles himself I felt my hoggy couldnt be in better hands.

Also some breeders that I know of won't use any couriers unless they are specialist animal couriers so for some the TNT option may not be an option.

i live near fort william in the highlands i think steve only goes as far as glasgow i could be wrong though as i have seen some of his threads and ive only seen glasgow mentioned but there again i could be wrong. and i agree with you 100% a rep courier is far better than tnt buy havent found one that comes my way apart from tnt i even have trouble getting places to deliver me frozen food for my reps. but like i said i havent been able to fault tnt so far.

Will bear them in mind in future MrsM, i did get quotes off a few couriers and cheapest one was £90 ( i would have paid it if breeder had not used TNT before )

Ideally i would prefer to collect animals myself but on this occasion was just too far!
