I use USPS which is the cheapest overnight shipping to use..I have used them all..Using UPS overnight runs 130.00 for the size and weight of the box...FedEx is 10 to 15 dollars cheaper than Ups...DHL is in bankruptsy right now and has the MOST lost packages of any delivery service available. DeltaDash which i have used in the past runs right at 200.00..but offers same day delivery within hours sometimes. The shipping itself runs 25 to 30 dollars..becasue Insure it and add a signature card. The boxs I use that ar insulated cost me 8 dollars a box..then inside the box i use is an enclosre that costs me about 2.50 SO shipping for lets say 26.00 plus the insulated box for 8 plus the 2.50 cup/rubbermaid depending on the sixe of the lizard I am shipping equals 36.50 ( This is minimum being I am sending a BABY..this is the price for the SMALLEST box I use ) It is not JUST shipping included in the shipping cost....it is the insulated box and all inclused inside. I hope this explains it better. The 3.50 extra charged is basically JUST IN CASE it runs over with weight and also for my Gas and time..I live 15 miles from the post office,that is 30 miles round trip, my car gets 22 miles per gallon...and gas is 2.39 a gallon here. If he thinks this is unreasonable..I do apoligize. But I use the CHEAPEST delivery available..that has the BEST results in getting your baby there SAFE and ON TIME. Blessings, Jenny P.S. These babies eat 100 live prey items a DAY...plus salad plus all of thier vitemins/calcium/cricket dust..as well as power and Uv lights and heat bulbs and paper towels changed out 5 or 6 times a day...PLUS MY TIME !! I spend 10 hours a day with these babies/ Crickets run me 15.00 per thousand PLUS just under 10 shipping ( I ONLY BUY from FLUKERFARMS.COM...becasue thier crickets are THE BEST i have found and I have had NO problems with coccidia or anything using these prey items..they are a little more expensive..but WELL worth it. SO being as these babies are 2 months old lets break it down ... It costs me $25 a WEEK ( Multiply that times 8 weeks and that alone is 200.00 in crickets PER BABY ( I loose about 100 crickets from every order..as everyone does in deaths ) Greens run me 4 dollars a bag which I buy three bags a week for all the babies so lets just say $2 a week in greens...Plus on average thier cricket dust, calcium and vitemins as well as Bee pollen ( Stimulates appitite in newly hatched babies thru selling them ) runs me about $5 PER baby throughout them being here with me..IF they are only here 8 weeks..after that I have to add money.. UV bulbs and heat bulbs $25 for the UV bulb and a heat bulb for $9.00 plus power I average out to be $6 per baby for two months usage ..MY TIME FREE ( BELIEVE ME when I say MY time is WORTH the price I charge per baby in itself). Now I also feed the lobster roaches and silkworms..each baby eats about 15 dollars worth in two months on average... So here us how much it costs me, GIVING my time free PER BABY to raise it out and get it into a new home. $278.50 PER BABY, so far... ( IF they are here ONLY 8 weeks ) NOW ADD THIS AS WELL PER BABY... ( I also have all of mine fecal tested at 10 a pop ) SO TOTAL COST TO ME PER BABY if sold at 8 weeks is a whopping .... $288.50
