I can give you some insight on some of these my calls to UPS and FedEx
resulted in a solid no to shipping animals through them, I did not check
airborne express.
I personally would not feel comfortable putting animals on greyhound and
unless their policy has changed recently it is no.
I do know that you cannot bring banned animals into the state at all, if you
should get caught at an inspection station entering the state with them turn
around and go back. I did talk with some other small animal breeders in
Canada and found out some interesting info. even though small animals brought
into the US for individual use do not require health certificates the
airlines out of Canada treat them like all the other animals and require
them. It also depends where you cross the border the WA state/Canada border
used to be very easy (who knows after people tried to smuggle bomb mat'l from
Canada) but I know the crossing from Quebec can be very long and thorough.
The health certificates around me (Seattle) run between 25-35 however since
one of my friends is a vet I am sure I could get it pretty cheap. The problem
is vets want to charge an office visit.
