Falconboy, you have to assume the freight company is competent. It's not in their best interest to kill your animals through neglect.
Not sure I'd agree with that 100%. They basically have a monopoly. The herp world would practically ground to a halt without AAE. How many of us here have heard some of the horror stories that show up AAE as incompetant (at times), yet we still risk freighting animals.
How many people still sign up with Telstra/Bigpond even though a huge number of us think/know they are the most useless company to deal with, and most of us have heard of problems with their service. And theres tonnes of alternatives too. Some of the most incompetent companies survive through a monopoly or simply because of the sheer population - theres always going to be a market there for them. Australia Post also springs to mind.
