I'm going to make a poll with some options. Please give me yalls experience and feedback. It's not a very high dollar item, but I'd really like it to live.
People that ship livestock, which company do you recommend?

To be honest, I've had bad experience with all of them.
UPS use to have morning delivery to Perry, but I think they stopped that. Of course they also just broke my skimmer and lied to me about couple of details, so they're are not high on my approval list currently.
Fed Ex, listed that they don't have morning delivery either in my area. They have also ticked me off on item breakage. But they are my shipper of choice currently.
USPS, too many to list. Again they don't have morning delivery in all areas, mine is one. Found this out the hard way. Their site at the time said they did, but not according to the locals at the Perry branch.
And be glad you no longer have this option, the worst of the worst; DHL (Airborne). They totally sucked! Used them for personal as well as professional, and they were horrible! They don't have morning delivery in my area, called to pick up at the depot, couldn't get a hold of the driver though. So I placed a square of tape on my porch where it was shaded and left a note asking to please set the box in this area and why. They left the box in direct sunlight, no where near any shade when the box said "LIVE" all over it. Needless to say, I lost three acan colonies that day.
I have several stories surrounding all of them in addition to the ones above, professional and personal. Maybe I'm just a little cynical where they're concernend. I'm hoping off my soap box now, lol.
Good luck!
