i know people that have used greyhound for short trips ( but longer than the average drive) like on distances shorter than a 60 hour drive.

Does Greyhound allow the transportation of live animals or herps? I'm not sure how safe that could be, does the fumes of exhast stay completely out of the cargo compartment?

Could be worth investigating though for a regional delivery solution! If anyone has more info on using busses, let me know!

Not knowingly.

Irreguardless of what your business/product is shipping is a fact of life. Accept it & deal with it or don't ship. Every single case I've heard of Herps being couriered across Canada, the reciepent recieved dead animals. Folks I know in BC that will courier things Stateside & then drive across to grab them end up more often than not with an average of 1/2 dead upon arrival & lose more in the first week as a result also. This is also very common for pet store orders from the states to Canada as well. These aren't odds I'm personally willing to take. NUFF SAID Mark
