Robyn Markland

Founder, Partner

I created Redline Shipping and I would love to have your business and support. We have a terrific Redline team, we can provide a terrific experience and world-class customer service. I conceptualized and cofounded All Pro Shipping (ShipYourReptiles and ShipYourAquatics) in 2009, The Reptile Report in 2012, THG Heat in 2014, Redline Science (a product company) in 2019 and now Redline Shipping. I was an owner of Pro Exotics Reptiles, breeding and selling world class reptiles, in the 90's and 2000's. We have a powerhouse team of partners and staff for the Redline adventure, some of the most innovative and successful members of the reptile industry. We went to number one in live shipping in less than a year. I've worked hard (with a great team) to support hobbyists and businesses with The Reptile Report, ShipYourReptiles, and now Redline Shipping. I'm motivated to win your business and support!

Testimonials

My experiences with Redline Shipping since I recently switched at end of 2022 has been nothing but amazing! They truly go above and beyond and genuinely care about your needs. They're very much for their customers and reptiles and it shows. From the overtime when they're off the clock and still helping as much as they can, even on weekends! You can tell their passion and love for the hobby fuels the outstanding work they do. Robyn was awesome with great info and prioritizing Eliot to oversee safe and timely delivery of my package that I made a mistake on. Eliot was on top of it with communication from me, FedEx, and others. He also provided timely updates for peace of mind and to see everything through! Great conversations as well can't say enough about Redline Shipping's service. To many more shipments with you guys!

Colton Hagadone

Colton's Reptiles

I have worked with Robyn since the early 2000s and was so excited to work with him again! Redline focuses on the customer experience. I have dealt with other companies where a shipment was lost after being told they were on it and twice told I would be called back, wasn't. Redline has a dedicated team that will go the extra mile to help you get a resolution to the issue. Redline not only offers quality products at affordable prices but also goes out of the way to find new and exciting swag to give to anyone in the community at shows. Robyn comes up with ideas, like the sling bag, that brings breeders and the community closer together. All the way around, this is a company that is run the right way, success through customer focus. That's why Robyn has earned my respect over two decades and will have my business for another two!

Randy Foster

Dark Cloud Reptiles

As a longtime breeder who ships animals most weeks of the year, Redline's prices were the trigger that convinced me to stray from our usual shipper to give the "New Brand'' a try. After digging into the company’s founder & Robyn's storied history in the reptile industry, I felt more comfortable putting the safety of our beloved animals in the hands of Redline Shipping. It's when a shipping issue arises that the Redline Team really shows their expertise and has won over my business 100%. The level of support, quick response time, and knowledge is unmatched in the industry.

Josh Dunlap

Scales, Fins & Feathers

I started using Redline this season to ship my Diamondback Terrapins to customers.  

I was initially impressed with their easy-to-use platform, competitive pricing on supplies, and attention to small details in the shipping process. I love their Lacey labels.

Here recently I had an issue with a package I shipped to California. Tracking noted that FedEx attempted delivery and that the package would be delivered the following day. I called Redline customer service with low expectations because I know how FedEx customer service is. I was amazed at the quick response by Redline's customer service team. They contacted FedEx on my behalf, and the customer ended up getting his package that night, even he was surprised.  

This really meant a lot to me because I only have one chance to make a customer happy.  Redline helped me achieve that on this day... I really appreciate Redline Shipping for the service they provide. Thanks, Redline!

Thomas Colleur

Diamondback Terrapin Island

I recently shipped a snake with Redline, and on the day of delivery, FedEx ran into a delay. I reached out and the folks at Redline were already aware, and working with FedEx on my behalf until the issue was quickly resolved. The experience as a business owner genuinely felt as if I was working with the resources of a massive company, but with the customer service of a mom and pop shop just down the street. I hope no one runs into issues with their shipping, but I can honestly say that they're in good hands with Redline.

Sam

I love the Redline customer service. I couldn’t be more satisfied. You guys really are on top of this stuff and great with communicating with me. I’m really happy with Redline. It makes things easier knowing that you guys can get a person on a phone at FedEx and know what’s going on. I appreciate that. Thank you.
