New Shipping Regulations With Airlines

I just shipped my puppy to California yesterday for his two prep shows this weekend and then on to the National Specialty out there.

I have shipped quite a lot and know the shipping regulations. Well, I used Delta ( I usually use American) and the cargo agent said he'd have to drill 4 holes for the zip ties on the door. So I said ok and kept visiting with the other guy.

Well, just before I left they set my new Vari Kennel 100 series on the counter and there were 4 HUGE holes the size of a quarter at least. This just for Zip ties to hold the door shut! Heck a chi could get it's feet thru or his mouth stuck in it if he were a tiny chi.

It took me by such surprise I didn't say anything but as I drove home I just started fuming. How dare they destroy personal property like that. 4 small holes would have been sufficient if they needed holes at all.

American runs two zip ties together and runs that thru the window...they don't drill holes.

So lesson...before I go to the airport my husband will drill my holes for me!!!!!!!!!!
