Anyone in/near Knoxville, Tennessee?

I might be looking for someone who would be willing to help me out, get some rats, and ship them to me.

I would pay for everything associated with it (your gas/time, shipping fees, shipping crate, etc). The breeder is giving me a hard time and stated excuses as "I don't like how much the buyer has to pay for shipping"

When I told them it would cost me almost double to drive to them and it was perfectly safe they said "I know. Shipping isn't for me" and something about not liking the hustle and bustle of an airport *head desk*

Anyway, I don't know 100% if I'm going to be getting anything from them, but I'd just like to find out if anyone is in the area and would help me out if/when the time comes.

Thanks!!

The closest I'm ever conveniently is Memphis.

OUCH it's like, totally on the other side of the state

But thanks
