barrierreefcf Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) Hello PNWMAS members! It's been a pandemic plus a recovery year since we've logged in here🤪During that time we slowly built a new website and it just launched. We are constantly adding new dry goods, fish, and "What You See Is What You Get" corals. Our new site is much easier to work with and we can't wait to see it grow. You can take a look here. www.barrierreefaquariums.com We'll post updates on the forum often.

From $150-$350 its $44.99. $350+ is free. We need minimum orders of $150 in order to subsidize the shipping costs. It breaks down like this. Let's use a $100 order as an example. Roughly half the amount is the cost of goods. So right away profit is cut to $50. The boxes and heat packs cost $8-$12 depending on size/qty. So lets say its now down to $40 profit. Our overnight shipping costs range from $45 to most of the west coast and $70 to the east coast. You can see we are quickly not making money or just breaking even if we don't charge actual rates on smaller shipments and we haven't even factored in our general overhead. One thing I will look into is a special rate for Oregon. Maybe its just slightly higher than WA and we can do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
