Michael7979 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashardy Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 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. CLH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 i was thinking closer to 30. Are you saying 50 for 1 bunch of zoas (5-10 polyps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 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.

Michael7979 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkto Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanF Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitterbait Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
