Who are you guys using to ship? Someone told me to find a company that discounts but I have not found any. FedEx has made it nearly impossible with the cost to send overnight.
 
I’ve worked for both UPS and USPS; I can’t endorse either. UPS handles packages VERY badly, so does USPS. With the postal service you are taking chances on overnight delivery; its just not nearly as reliable as the other express services.

DHL used to ship live, I dunno anymore as they have supposedly scaled back.

FedEx prices are high because of the above competitors issues. I’m not aware of any specialty livestock couriers with competing pricing. I’m following just in case there is.
 
I've been using shipnex but the rates lately have horrible. Currently looking for better options.

I started using finiship and Im happy with the prices.
 
I've been using shipyouraquatics for more than a year and I couldn't be happier.
