Shipping?

[Cflow]

Have I been living under a rock or am I doing something wrong? I wanted to get frags shipped up from CA to ID and I was quoted $160 over night with UPS and Fedex. I estimated the box 10”x10”x10” at 5lbs. I just received another shipment from UT that was $30. Is is just CA?

you can try shipon.com, sign up with code reef2reef. It's about $55 from CA to ID

I’ll give it a try? They do overnight?

Finiship quoted $52 but it’s through ups. I litt just called ups and they quoted $168. How does that work?

They get bulk discounts as a shipping company and we save tons of money

Anyone use ShipYourAquatics?

Shipon offers both UPS and Fedex. I just checked again, Fedex is $52.17, UPS is only $42.88 from 90210 to 83709 for 5lbs 10x10x10

This is nice to know. I always overpay for shipping.

So how would this work from my end? I am going to pay for shipping for some frags. I would need to purchase the label, assuming the correct measurements and weight, then email it to the guy selling me the frags. Then he would just drop off at whatever shipper I used?
