It is harder to take the package uphill...hence the price difference! Anyway that is possibly how they justify themselves!!! |

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with AAE. They are changing the rules again to allow reptiles on the Dash-8 Aircraft (the ones that fly into "regional" areas) however this will take 2-3 months to be implemented.
Cheers

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jul-05 Location: N,QLD Age/Gender: 43 | | | | AAE is flying reptiles regionally in QLD again , Yahoooo
My uncle who worked in the states for 13 years as a lawyer had several phone conferences with Qantas big brass on my behalf and got the wheels in motion so that now reptiles are again reaching there country destinations ,
non venomous reptiles can be sent in strong plastic containers with lids taped and sealed to prevent escape ,
venomous snakes must be packed in wooden boxes and clearly labeled with lids screwed down,
price varies for each container depending on weight and size etc
but the main thing is reptiles can be delivered regionally again

sorta gets your blood boiling ... if only I could beleive it

if only the level of competence of each AAE employee was at a high level at each airport ,
then the stuff ups would not be a problem,
the other thing is apparently the reason for the shut down in country area deliveries was because of reptiles escaping ?? dew to poor containment ?
hopefully if we all are better educated ,
things can run smoothly ,
Sandee
always call and confirm with AAE everything is ok before heading to the airport, |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Aug-06 Location: Brisbane | | | Umm ... yes I have done that too, called AAE and made sure they would accept the packaging
(as I have packed for the last 10 years) and even taken the name of the person that confirmed my packing was acceptable only to arrive and have it refused...as the person I had spoken to was conveniently "not available"
Anyway thanks Roger, someone has gotta have faith
maybe it's coz I am a girl .. lol

| | Sponsor | Join Date: Jan-06 Location: Newcastle | | | | Aae run a business which utilises various road and air freight alternatives in the various freight legs. Only some aircraft have the necessary temperature controlled and pressurised freight compartment. I have shipped 1000's or animals including 100s of reptiles by air and find the staff of aae and most airfreight companies very helpful considering they are bound by the beaurocratic rules and regulations which have to accomnodate the wished of governing bodies crossing state and federal borders. A few reptiles are a very small cog in a very big machine. The easiest thing may be for that big machine to get rid of the small cog which makes soo much noise. If AAE's service suits you, use it. If not find an alternative.
