shipping tip...fedex..

[brewmaster15]

Hi all ,

When you order fish and have them shipped by fedex... ask what the size of the boxes are that the shipper will use... Fedex charges based on weight and box dimensions. If you ever want to see just how much a difference in shipping cost box sizes make.. go to...

http://www.fedex.com/ratefinder/home?cc=US&language=en

and play around with the box dimensions.


also...if your are getting multiple boxes...ask about them shipping it using fedex hundredweightservice... fedex...http://www.fedex.com/us/services/express/other/hundredweight.html

failure to be aware of this could cost you literally 100's in shipping for a relatively small order. 3 boxes of fishes recently cost me $330 in shipping by fedex! This was actually more than half the cost of the fish themselves on this order.

be aware.

hope this helps someone.

I'd suggest airfreight on any order with more than one box of fish, much cheaper! Ken

I agree with you ken,... airport to airport is the way to go. :)
