Shipping ?

[Michael7979]

Anyone know what shipping costs are?

I'm thinking of putting some of the last wild plain zoas on Ebay, along with some pinkish star polyps.

Any ideas?

I would say around 50ish? Overnight that is?
I have no clue though, I have to ship out a package of about 10-15 corals to Flordia soon.

i was thinking closer to 30.
Are you saying 50 for 1 bunch of zoas (5-10 polyps)

If you are doing it on e-bay figure out what the approximate weight of your package is going to be and then set the auction up to calculate the shipping for whichever method you choose.

Thanks Sean.
I'll have to look into it as I have never bought/sold on Ebay. So this will be something new for me.

couldn't you use the calculators on ups.com, fedex.com, etc? With the box dims, weight and some zip codes you should be able to get a good average...

[SeanF]

You can average it by going to the different sites but E-bay will calculate shipping on either UPS or the good old Post Office and then you don't have to worry.

It also has an option to add a little to the calculated shipping charge for a handling fee.

I have sold a few things on e-bay.

Thanks all..

Yah its easiest to just have ebay calculate it as you are posting the sale. I just put a DVD player on ebay last night :)

average is 50 but u could opt for priority which is cheaper or leave up to buyer to decide so they dont give u bad feed back if coral dosnt fair well.

don't ship overnight for zoos and shrooms and polyps. do 2nd day air and it will be $10-15. they ship fine like that.
