Default How does Oxbow package its shipments?

Basically my friend needs somewhere to order Oxbow hay and pellets online that doesn't say "PET PRODUCTS" and stuff like that on the shipping box because she's not allowed to have pets in her apartment. Anyone know? It's fine if the brand is on the box but preferably no reference to pet supplies. So I'm wondering about the Oxbow website itself or other sellers. I know Dr. Foster and Smith has boxes with pictures of pets all over them.

Maybe she can get somebody to receive the package (another adress). She pick it up there and snick it into her place...

Yeah, it'd just be easier if there was a company that didn't plaster animal stuff all over it.

Well Oxbow's boxes do say Oxbow pet products on the box. It doesn't have any fancy things on the outside, just their logo and name. To me it is very discreet but obviously nothing at all would work the best. Is there anyway she can have it shipped to another address?

I can't beleive that places do not allow guinea pigs as pets. I can see why no dogs or cats...but guinea pigs? Stupid if you ask me.

I think places that do not allow pets should be shut down due to stupidity

When I got my GPs. I had to wait an extra day, because the shelter needed to contact the aparment complex, and get the autorization. I had to go to the office the next day, so the office call the shelter and the employee said that the shelter had to call them, until someone pick-up. Usually there aren't people available to pick up the phone. I had to go to the shelter, and sat there for 45 min, until finally someone picked up the phone...

My landlord said that we couldn't keep your 2 cats but my mom made up some stupid excuse to keep them (something about it was the only thing left of our other house?) and he said that after they die we couldn't have any more cats! He did say that we were allowed to have cages animals. But he is gonna be mad when he finds out what my cat did to wall (she scratched it raw on a corner )!

That's the Drs. Foster and Smith site I was talking about in the first post. They plaster pics of pets all over the boxes.

I like shopping at Dr. Foster. I think if people (landlords) would open themselves to pets, they would get more business. I don't know ANYONE who doesn't have a pet!
