At what price point do you think people should offer free shipping. I see most offer at $250 including us, do you think this is fair?

It's all relative to the coral pricing. If you're paying $80 for a $30 frag then shipping should be free @ $80...
?? Why would you pay $80 for a $30 coral?
This about as good as you are going to get. Most vendors cannot match this shipping price unlessi also think it depends on the price your paying for coral.
I will use my self as an example.
i dont offer free shipping at all. reason is my frags are cheap enough that if you by 200 or 250 bucks in frags you getting a good 15-20 corals. thats gonna take a couple boxes.
i dont change the shipping though. its 24 bucks if you order 1 frag or 100 frags. for me i think thats more then fair considering what you get.
i will do free shipping every now and then just because i pay alot less then most vendors do but i dont have a set rule for it.
This is actually a good point, if you were about to pay $100 for a coral, and you were about to pay $40 for shipping, just buy an extra $50 coral and you get a bonus!I think shipping is on average about $25 or $30, so to the seller they are probably willing to offer free shipping on orders of $250 or more because it roughly equals about 10% of the order price. A discount most retailers are fine giving without much thought.
Personally I would like to see free shipping on orders at the $150 threshold. It would make it more worth my while to push what I was considering purchasing up over that mark where I might just opt to pay shipping if I had to push my order up to $250. As I am hoping to not make very many of those.
Does seem like with some of the high end chalices you could exceed the minimum with just one eye.
