Hey-

Let me share with you something - Yesterday I took my peafowl pair to the post office to ship them. But they were not able to ship it because the destination was a restricted area where we cannot ship live birds (or any other lives). And my birds were in the box through all these time. If I had known this before, I could have saved a lot of my time.

So, I thought I would tell you guys to do something about this so that seller/buyer knows that the buyer is from the restricted area where US Postal Service will not ship to.

Just check what you can do about this. It would be wonderful if you can come out with a wonderful solution.

Thanks.

We are happy to inform you that we have implemented your suggestion in www.frankstrade.com.

When a buyer from restricted zip code tries to bid/buy an item listed for sale in www.frankstrade.com, then the buyer will get an alert message as follows:

“US Postal Service will not ship lives to your zip code. You may ask the seller to ship to a different zip code with no restriction for live shipment or ship by Delta Air or arrange a pickup. Do you want to proceed?”

The buyer can either continue with ‘bid/buy’ and can ask the seller to ship the item to a different zip code with no restriction or ship by Delta Air or can arrange a pickup or can cancel it.

Hope this helps you!
