I ran into this problem when I shipped corals to @TriggerFinger a few months ago. I decided to do 2-day shipping and was able to reduce the price from $140 to $36. Everything arrived alive except some mushrooms. I suspect the mushrooms didn't have enough water for a 2-day ride. This isn't a good idea though if temperatures are too hot or too cold.

I don’t understand how people are shipping on here for $40-$60. It doesn’t make sense to eat the shipping cost when you’re not selling super expensive frags. Do that many people really have personal or business FedEx accounts??

Apparently the large vendors on R2R get huge shipping discounts due to volume. And we hobbyists get gouged for occasional shipping.
