Our shipping charges are set up in
a tier based on the dollar amount of your order. The lowest shipping charge is NOW $18.00. The next tier is $25.00,
then $30.00, $35.00, and the last is $45.00. Remember, if you live in one of the states listed above, be sure to send us an e-mail or give us a call BEFORE YOU ORDER. If you order directly
from our site you can find your shipping charge by continuing through
the checkout process. You can always resume shopping at any time.
You may request Next Day Air Delivery for an extra charge. An example of Next Day Air charges;
A 5lb. package from our zip code(32926) to Pittsburgh PA zip code(15208)
= $38.80. Please feel free to calculate your exact shipping charges
before you order. You can go to FedEx.com and enter our zip code(29720)
then your zip code. I believe you'll see a savings through the shopping
cart. If you do not see a savings or have any questions concerning
shipping, call us toll free 1-866-241-9897.
I have included the shipping pages of some of our competitors to help you compare shipping charges and extra fees.
Inland Aquatics--- Marine Depot Live--- Indo-Pacific Sea Farms---etropicals---Premium Aquatics
Here's another good example; Keys Critters sells most of the same items we do and for less. However, they have a minimum order of $100.00, a $15.00 packing/box charge and they charge the actual FedEx standard overnight shipping. If you don't want to spend over $100.00 and pay a packaging fee and want to save a little on shipping, give us a try.
Please note that most of these companies charge box charges and even though they state "no hidden fees" some of them have excessive fees and charges. Some of these sites do have cheaper shipping rates, but their prices are higher on items. I had even noticed some have minimum order amounts. We welcome small orders, large orders and we charge fair shipping charges and very reasonable item prices.
INSIGHT:
Please do take advantage of the sites offering free shipping on large orders. With fuel and shipping charges going up, they will be making less money. They will either have to raise prices, charge shipping, or go out of business.
