As posted last week, I recieved a box of GAR Misaje from Texas labeled
as live fish, Perishable with the DMM code posted on the box.  No
problems, 2 days for delivery.  Box was sent back to TX with fish,
label left intact and visible yesterday.  Postal clerk and Postmaster
said nothing, box was accepted and sent.  I am awaiting confirmation
of delivery, which I expect to hear tomorrow or Thursday.  I've had no
issues so far.

Others have had issues, so I do believe there is a problem.  Some
(one?) of their contracted carriers are supposedly no longer accepting
live animal shipments,  someone on the list mentioned it being fed-ex
a few weeks back.  Fed-ex does accept live fish commercially, as I
know at least 3 LFS who recieve 2 or more shipments of fish and/or
herps Fed-Ex each week.  More questions need to be asked.  If I feel
ambitious, maybe I'll do some asking tomorrow.
