No news, no updated tracking and aside from the poster who's relative is a postmaster, there is no detailed tracking info avail (aside from the theory it got stuck at a hub due to inclement weather)....

AND...if he doesn't arrive today, I can not sit here again tomorrow. If I'm not here to sign for him tomorrow - then what? Where does the burden lie?

SC to CA and vice versa is about the longest cross country stretch on the map. I know they offer overnight "to most destinations" but this excludes live animals, fwiw.

Chris, USPS offers express to "most states". In my experience, I have never been able to ship to CA from SC in 24 hrs. It has never been guaranteed delivery within that time frame for me personally. I have shipped out that way over two dozen times just this past year. Perhaps shipping from CA to...

I have talked to a human at the post office. I have been told the only information they have is what's listed on the online tracking info (which is essentially noting since Monday). I challenge anyone to find out something additional :) And I just want to REITERATE (not to you personally but to...

Hi all. No news so far this am. USPS does NOT offer express delivery of live animals within 24 hours. This information was posted yesterday. The seller can't even make a claim for "guaranteed delivery" until AT LEAST 3 days after estimated delivery time. THIS is the problem I have. USPS is NOT...

This is true. Then he can become the forum mascot:) If he makes it I'm sure he will be THE CHAM OF THE HOUR for a while :) Parson's people, you should be afraid. Very afraid lmao

Thanks for all the support :) The USPS website hasn't updated since yesterday. There's a good chance it won't arrive until Wed... I really don't even WANT a chameleon that's been in a box for 3 or 4+ days even if it is alive.. but I would never refuse it. Crappy situation, all the way around.

A part of me actually agrees with this. Legally it's appropriate, morally and ethically it's not. We know he shipped in styrofoam, in a cloth bag with airholes containing paper towels. I just cant fathom its going to arrive in good shape but I will reserve judgment until it arrives. I am...

"Okay, well...here's where USPS runs into problems. They do accept live animals, but for Express Mail, they do not guarantee next day arrival: https://www.usps.com/ship/can-you-ship-it.htm Quote: Live animal shipments (including poultry, reptiles, and bees) have very specific packaging...

We are all entitled to our opinion and I have received amazing support here. If someone pays for overnight shipment then that's what they should receive. If a seller ships an animal, this should be the ONLY shipment ever used. Express doesn't equate "overnight" I have thought about this poor...

I disagree. He was to be shipped overnight. NOT 2-3 day "general" express delivery. I paid for overnight shipping. This shipping delay wasn't beyond his control, he chose a method of delivery not appropriate for live animals and that's the bottom line. He lied when he said the animal was at the...

The problem is; someone here offered to go to the sort facility but as the tracking information shows ; it left the facility yesterday at 5pm. This animal has been in a box, in a cloth bag since 10am EST yesterday and he shipped 2-3 day delivery (express which, if you read the thread, doesn't...

Comforting.... and I'm sure accurate.:mad:

almost 6 months.

Yes, but the seller told me 1 hour ago it's still at the airport. He's a liar and it's unfortunate situation because he is a member here and has offered no condolences except to say I need to treat him with respect and he will do the same. If you knew me, you would know I have been more than...

Thanks guys, for all your support and helpful information. At this point, regardless of condition, I have asked for a full refund because it's the RIGHT thing to do. BEST CASE scenario, he's going to be on the brink of death and require intensive care that I'm not even sure I'm skilled enough...

Prior to arrival of the animal dead or alive?

Should I ask for a refund? I don't feel good about this at all anymore.. I really don't. He's not being very apologetic and a little humility goes a long way - He keeps explaining about the temps and facility/airplane temps - which I could give a rats ass about because no one knows this animal...

No one knows where the animal is. I've called USPS. THEY DON'T KNOW. I told him to go pick him up and he said he couldn't because he's at the airport. I believe that's wishful thinking - I told him (assuming the animal arrives alive), he will be in bad shape and I expect a 10 day health...
