Default Reptile Courier

How much would you be prepared to pay for a courier service? Possibly same day if distances are not too far and for next day deliveries including weekends? All by a friendly,experienced herper? Do you think there is much interest for this even though it will probably be more expensive than TNT?

I would probably be willing to pay about £50 for it to go with someone I knew wouldnt stamp on the box or anything Especially if they would deliver to your home, not just a business addy, cause thats a pain.
I would expect to pay more for it to arrive on a weekend.

Having that said my snakes arent £15 a go corns, so I am probably willing to pay more for carriage than some.

If it was your box I would stamp on it! So, depending on mileage and whether it was a weekend and your snakes where a few hundred quid how much would you pay?

Hm tight gets! Well I might think about doing it I have spare time at the weekends and would like to earn a bit of extra money but you would have to have a couple of jobs in the same area to make it worth your while I reckon. Hmm I might stick an ad up see if anyone is interested.

If I wanted a few hundred quids worth of snakes I'd pay more than £50 (only if you prmose not to stamp on em though!) If you fancy a trip to Great Yarmouth with a big car I'll give you more than that
You might even get a cup of tea when you arrive :wink: Or perhaps a fudge?

seriously mate, do some research and this will pay you.
you might have to be out on the road for a few days, but you come home with a lot of money.
