The only problem I have ever seen is when people do mark the package "live animal" then the package might look like it was assaulted, Its almost like a "kick me" sticker!!
I tell mine as well. I try not to lie at any time.
They actually like to chat with me about the fish and coral. LOL!
Thanks Mr. Big!if shipping poulty or other live/ perhiable items they want you to pay the additional $7.99 charge (up to 10 lbs). this way they will cover you if it dies and they al least try to deliver it instead of waiting for some reason.

I put "FRAGILE GLASS" and "DELICATE INSTRUMENT" stickers on it from work
I tell the USPS whats inside. I usually have to explain about the hobby and how i triple bag the items and how they survive just fine. They are usually more curious than anything else.
Now my FedEx office is another animal. If it has liquid they require doubles BOXES. Thats right. I tell them its triple bagged and they say oh you only need 1 bag, but 2 boxes. I try to find out how that makes sense, you know water vs plastic and water vs cardboard. You could do 80 layers of cardboard it still won't do what a plastic bag can. So now i have to lie to FedEx.
