i’ve used shipyouraquatics for years and they are top notch. they do use fedex so keep that in mind. incredible customer service and their website is so easy to use.

Can anyone enlighten a laymen as myself as to what this is? They just pass along a discounted shipping rate or something?

I looked up shipyouraquatics and USPS at the same time. shipyouraquatics inflates the prices then tells you that you're getting a discount which was still $14 more than just using USPS for the exact same service to the same zip code.

sure. fedex vs usps. it will vary on box size, weight and zip code. also delivery times may vary as well as shipping restrictions and guarantees.

In my experience USPS will be more than a day late most of the time. I have used them twice in the past year. Both shipments using Express took two days. FedEx costs more but gets there on time.

Shipyouraquatics and shipnex use FedEx, which does cost more but your box will actually get there. I've used shipnex for years with no issues.
