Little Rock to Tampa

Puppymomma,
You are absolutely right. I overlooked the fact that the destination for the pup was Tampa. I could definitely see the temp. issues and I also have had that problem in the past. Due to the somewhat vague nature of your original post, I made some assumptions that I shouldn't have as you just showed me.lol For that I offer my sincerest apologies. Let me take a look at a resource I have in regards to this subject. If I find anything that may be useful I will post it here.

 

So I don't ship or anything....but don't they have Air conditioned cargo bays for animals?

I had a Parrot shipped in the WINTER time and it was heated...just wondering as this is all new to me.

 

The commercial airlines won't ship a dog during warm weather. It has to do with the loading/unloading and the wait times on the ground. Nothing really to do with the plane itself.

 

10-4 GOTTCHA!!

 

Have you talked to the buyer about the situation? I have had buyers in the past who would meet me halfway and in addition, pay for my expenses to go meet them.

I feel your frustration though as we lose sales on occasion because we are very reluctant to ship via air. It is a 100 mile drive one way to the nearest airport and thus a considerable cost for us to ship. When we give them our shipping costs, sometimes they go elsewhere for a puppy to save a few bucks, so I just say "thats fine, it is your loss". I guess what I am saying is that if they really want the puppy they may be willing to work with you and make some creative arrangements.

 

Have you tried the USPS, UPS or FedEx ????
