Hey buddy , last month i also ship with dog from texas to san. I am also afraid of shipping scam happening As once you place your shipment and make the payment, they start making false promises that the pet will soon be shipped to your house. When a few days pass by, and no parcel arrives, you get suspicious. On asking several times, they keep fooling you by giving excuses in the loop. The excuses may never seem to end, like: we are facing carriage problems, the specific crate is not available, or the shipment charges are excluded from essential, high insurance charges, etc.
And also worried about the documentation required for this relocation. As different states has different rules which need to be fulfill. To avoid the headache of documentation and scams. I used Citizenshipper Dog shipping service as i found good pricing there. Then doone the documentation part and also ship my pet safely.
And arranging a perfect kernel to ensure the safety measure is also much important thing. So do some research before shipping
