E-tailers for all manner of products have seen a dramatic increase in sales over the past decade, so it should not surprise anyone that marine livestock e-tailers have flourished as well. Already a billion-dollar industry, online marine livestock sales are only going to expand. With such growth come new issues. While there are many important factors when choosing an online retailer, few have as much influence on the health and well-being of your new livestock as the vendor’s choice of a shipping carrier.

UPS and FedEx are the most commonly used carriers for shipping marine livestock between online supplier and retail customer in the United States. While both companies are competitively priced for overnight delivery, and both have similar on-time delivery statistics, the reality is that FedEx and UPS are quite different in their policies regarding live animals.
