4TH OF JULY 2026 & HEAT ADVISORIES
With the 4th of July holiday approaching and Heat Advisories in effect across much of the United States—including major FedEx hubs—we strongly recommend postponing all live animal shipments until temperatures return to safer levels. If shipping is absolutely necessary, we recommend shipping ONLY this week, Monday, June 29 through Wednesday, July 1, and only if weather conditions are suitable along the entire route. The health and safety of your animals should always come first. It’s always better to delay shipping than to risk the health of your animal.
How it Works
Welcome to our step-by-step guide on how to prepare your shipping labels with us at Reptiles2You! Ensuring your reptiles reach their destination safely and efficiently begins with correctly labeling your shipment.
Step 1: Create Your Label
Go to the section on our website. Fill in all required shipment details including destination, package dimensions, and weight.
Step 2: Comply with Lacey Act Labeling
Include the common and scientific names of the species, quantity of animals inside and outside the package. Cover this information with clear tape to protect it.
Step 3: Label Placement
Securely attach the label to your package on one side, ensuring it does not cover any part of the FedEx label to remain visible and scannable.
Step 4: Double Check
Before dispatching, verify that all information on your label is correct and clearly visible. This avoids transit delays or issues.
By following these steps, your reptiles will be shipped safely and in compliance with regulations.
