Shipping question

Okay hello all, I was interested orderning a 34.99$ coral from liveAquaria
I live in California and the shipping cost $34.99 coming out of total as
$69.98. Is this normal shipping cost?

 

Yes, LiveAquaria's shipping cost is $34.99. Which is very reasonable. Lots of websites charge 50 plus.

 

That is actually one of the lower ones.

 

You must consider the packaging that's required, plus this is overnight shipping.

 

Yes, Live Aquaria packages their items extremely well. They have stated that they make NO money from their shipping charges. It all goes into the packaging and overnight shipping.

 

Their corals are extremely well packed IME.

 

+1. Packed in a styrofoam cooler, with packing peanuts, heat pack/cold pack depending on weather, newspaper around the styrofoam, in like 5+ bags that are thicker than fish store bags, and with a blinder between fishes that burrow and species that would stress each other in close proximity....

 

liveaquaria is a awesome place to buy from. right now they have free shipping when you spend 225.00 and as we know thats not hard to do . i love the divers den . i like to see what im buying.

 

Liveaquaria packs their stuff well, DiversDen packs it even better in my opinion. Ive seen some decent packing jobs. but everything sees to be alot happier from them from the start.

Divers den tends to put more water for each specimen then liveaquaria.

I got my Achilles Tang from Divers den, and Moorish Idol from Liveaquaria. They settled in quite nicely.

 

I agree, Diver's Den has the BEST packaging. It is amazing.
