You need to make sure to fill the box or whatever to bring the cost per rabbit down..
For medium rabbits you can fit 10 per box which is roughly $10 per rabbit after shipping, really you should do greyhound and double the order..
For me.. I was in the Indiana area and just picked up about $350 worth of rabbits/rats/mice that will hopefully last me til the end of the year, this probably saved me $200 in shipping costs and I was in the area anyway on vacation so I'm not tacking on gas cause it was being paid for anyway...
The key to buying rodents online is to fill the box to make it worthwhile.. I finally bought a chest freezer for under $200 so I can buy in bulk and don't to have rodents where our real human food goes..
I feel your pain in the shipping costs, but those boxes are heavy and need to get there 2 day, really no way around that..
Still beats paying pet store prices, at our local pet store (chain stores like petco), their prices are ridiculous! I'm talking $8-9 for 1 large rat and $5-7 for 3 hopper mice! No way I'm paying that... ----- 1.0 Het Albino Burm
