Post: Help Needed. Shipping a young bird for the first time!!!

Posted by LP on 11/30/07

I am shipping a parrotlet from Madison WI to Savannah GA.

I called Delta Dash and was frustrated with the operator
who was obviously in India. I could not make out a lot of
what she said.

What do I need to do as far as building a box?

I was going to build a very small one out of
wood,cardboard and hardware cloth. Or would cardboard be
suffcient if heavily constructed.

The buyer was also wondering about insurance. I doubt
there is insurance...or am I wrong.

Does Delta Dash operate on other airlines? The operator
gave me that impression but was unintelligible.

The cost for a small box would be approx 95 dollars.

Does anyone include a little hot pack (the kind they make
for outdoor activities) in their shipping container?

Thank you in advance!
