I've been looking into a fish shipment as well... must take into consideration the box fee & shipping. Take the 12-15 fish you want and add $500 to it. The fish are inexpensive, but the shipping & handling makes up for that. Plus, consider you will have losses.

Doesn't make a lot of sense to buy fish you can find locally for $30ish.... I've been looking at bringing in some higher end fish, and trying to sell a couple to recoup some of the costs... but its very risky, keep that in mind. No 10 day guarantee etc. LOL
If that’s the case it’s better to order a lot at one time, then it makes up for the shipping and you get the fish for less
 
True, but space is limited. You can only get so many fish per box with the water. Larger fish also take more water. They try to make the box as full as possible. Like, I don't think you can order just 1-2 fish, even if you wanted to.

Yea haha, ordering one or two would definitely make the price not worth it
