Ive sent lots out with couriers and havent had any bad experiences yet.
As long as they are very well packed you shouldnt have any problems, but it does depend on the courier you use of course.

I have used Rep Taxi and planning on trying out Pet Wheels, the service from Rep Taxis excellent, just trying out other couriers to see if there is any better.

Yep totally agree with Jas, it's ALL IN THE PACKING...what type of van/car or person carrying the box doesn't really make any odds.
A well packed reptile will be fine, even if the box ends up upside down a few times.

I use TNT Steve.
I will only courier Tuesday to Thursday, never for a Friday delivery...just in case it gets delayed as they won't deliver it over the weekend
