Have some coral that i need to get rid of do to space.

12 polyps of sunny D's $100
Large 50 plus polyp blue hornet colony $350
50 Plus LA laker colony $150
20ish polyps Tubs Blue zoanthids $40
Teal Blue Acan -$20
Superman Acan-$20
Rainbow Acan -$60
Orange Rainbow Acans-$50
Large Teal Maze Brain -$75
Speckaled zoo colony-$15
18 polyp Fruit Loop Colony-$80

Take ALL and fill a nano for $900 shipped

Will ship fedex priority overnight for $60, DOA rules apply (picture of dead coral in bag within 1 hour of arrival) or will ship USPS priority 2 day but you take risk.
 
Would love to see some pics of those acans

Yes, overnight should be around $60...and at that it means i'm most likely paying $75 plus heatpacks so $20ish out of pocket. Vermont would probably be a lot cheaper since could probably do overnight through usps

You should be more thrifty in your shipping IMHO, and if you shop around you can get the materials to ship for $2-5 total. The rest would be shipping. Just trying to help with the sale. Overnight from Boston to VT it should be about $20-$30 max. I can ship to Cali for $30-35 over night most times. I have also received multiple shipments from cali for $20-$45 overnight... See at $60 I am assuming your taking the bags to fedex and telling them to deal with the rest? If that is the case I can see how it would be so much...

Nope, box everything myself and brin to fedex and it costs me close to 80 to ship to cali. Did it last week. Pm me how to ship that cheap through fedex and id appreciate it
 
I agree, I am lucky to be able to ship at all overnight for less than 75.

you would have to have a commercial account to get that kind of discount and there is a min amount of packages you have to ship. I don't know exactly but its probably way more than you ship out.
And as far as 5.00 for shipping materials thats something i wouldn't want to receive my expensive corals in. I get my boxes at uline for excellent quality styrofoam thats min1" thick all sides. To me the handling and care of the corals in shipping is the part where the utmost care should be taken, not where to save a few pennies.
