I thought this would be the beat place to ask this question because I am very confused. Did I go to the wrong place? I just shipped frags overnight at UPS but total was $103. Everywhere I see shipping seems to be 40-50 is that correct? Or did I ship my corals with the wrong company. Please let me know.

Most vendors like myself ship volume so we get a small discount but shipping is still more than we charge We end up eating the rest. Problem is as a vendor we aren’t permitted to sell in this group Your price was accurate.

The cheapest I have found is "Shipnex.com". It's still not cheap but usually in state it cost $25 and out of state $52. Add another $5-10 for packing supplies and that's usually what I spend.

Of the big three i have found to be the least expensive and least reliable. Have had good success with ups and fedex but it does indeed cost an arm and a leg
