Canadian Shipments from the States

Scott I know you just got a bunch of snakes from the uk, but would you want any from Scott f?

Ok so here I'm going to post a bit a bout the costs so we can all figure this out. I have been in contact with Scott F and he has been of great help in getting me these quotes n information.

Here's the breakdown on the fees:


1) First shipment is $250, anythereafter are $50 each, if 10 people go in it's 9 x $50 PLUS $250 divided by the ten shipments which = $70 per person


2) 5% declaration value fee (this is 5% of the value of whatever you order).


3) The shipping fee from me to Reptile express divided by the number of customers


4) The shipping from Reptile Express to you is $89. This is for a 9 x 9 x 9 box that will accomodate your snakes only in the shipment.


Basically I will send a large box full of snakes to Reptile Express. Each snake will have a number correlating to the person who ordered that snake to make it easy to id who gets what. Reptile express will then ship out the snakes to you from their Canada office.


Hope this clarifies the charges.


Thanks,


Scott


PS I was told that if we got ten customers the rate would drop to $30 per individual after the first one for $250 on the charges listed under #1

Ok so this is my quote for shipping them to me after they cross the border. I told him I'd want eight snakes.

Here's the email for your shipping cost from Reptile express to you:


Hi Scott,


We do service this request. It would be available for pickup on day of delivery at the FedEx hub by 9am. Photo ID will be required to pickup the package.


Here is your rate for Michelle:


Shipping Box: 9x9x9"
Reptile Express Fee (ON to AB): $89


Total: $89


So basically how this will happen with multiple shipments is that you will ship multiple boxes to our Buffalo location. When you ship multiple packages overnight, you do receive the consolidated discount and don't get charged a whole new rate per box. We will then ship those animals in those same boxes to the final Canadian destination.
On top of all the containers/bags you'll need to put a label identifying the common and scientific name of the animals as well as sex/quantity (such as 1.2 etc).


Because non of your Canadian customers info is going to be on the invoice or as "ship to" address, you'll need to let us know in advance which animals are going to whom.
We will create a file on that. With a pen in the corner of the labels on the containers write the number "1" for all animals going to customer so and so, the number "2" for another customer. Simply email us which customers belong to which numbers.


In our files we will write down which customer #1's belong to and #2's and so on.


Hope I didn't make it confusing. Please let me know if you need clarification.




Thanks,

As far as When we can do this....? Soon as we figure out the costs for everyone and if there is anyone else who wants in or not? Contact everyone you know with a Garter in Canada, see if they want to save on shipping from Scott F.

Any one else excited?

I'm excited and I'm not even involved.

[Dan72]

Wow, I hope everyone that gets involved in this has a smooth and wonderful transaction, sounds like a great way to save some cash. My one concern, and I'm sure these group orders have been done so not Reptile Express or Scott F's first rodeo. BUt what is the plan if customer 3 orders snakes E, F, G but ends up with A, B, C?

[thamneil]

Not sure but I pretty sure that the party responsible for the mix up would rectify it. I got faith that everyone would work it out just fine.
