Its usually only a few days, and I think postal money orders may be exempt from it, but im not sure, but I do know that money orders and casheirs checks are sometimes held for a few days. (per a good friend who is a VP of a independent bank in my neighborhood)
As far as shipping fed ex (there are verified fed ex shippers for reptiles), shipping by overnight service that only works normally on M-F, tues/wed would be the only days I'd ship too, just to ensure that if the package has a problem, its not going to sit somewhere for 2 days until someone does something with it.
For the pic, i've never seen that one exactly, but as others have stated in the thread, pics of Boas in sterilite/rubbermaid boxes arent exactly rare, so it would be easy to confuse it with another similar pic.
I havent seen the ad, but if something seems fishy to you, or seems too good to be true, its been my experience that its just best to pass on it.
Not that its the case with this seller, but if you or your friend are suspicous, save yourself the stress and just forget about it, nice boas arent in very short supply, you can find another from someone who is verified as being reliable.
