Every year, Fedex & UPS evaluate their shipping rates and fees. Fedex & UPS rates will increase in the new year nearly 6%, which is less than in years past. These rate changes occur so they can continue to deliver the shipping solutions you need.
Please note, the changes in price are a direct result of the Fedex and UPS rate increase and NOT of All Pro Shippings rates.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team.

1. Avoid shipping anything live on Mondays and Thursdays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays remain the safest shipping days FedEx/UPS-wise.
2. Do not call FedEx or UPS! Call or email us directly with any issues. FedEx and UPS have ZERO liability on live shipments, no matter what their customer service might tell you!
3. Our On Time and Live Arrival Insurance is the only way to protect yourself when shipping live animals through FedEx and UPS. Only certain shipments are eligible for insurance coverage. Any uninsured shipments are at the shipper's own risk.
3. No handwarmers, ever. Handwarmers and heat packs with durations less than 40 hours kill animals.
4. Using any heat pack in a box smaller than ~12x9x6 can easily kill animals.
5. Using any heat pack when temps at either the origin or destination are 70F or above can easily kill animals.
If you are dealing with straddling temps or have any concerns whatsoever, contact us for recommendations!
