YEP- Shipping costs have sky rocketed and is making it hard to sell stuff. I'm a verified FedEx Live animal shipper. Even with a FedEx account my 7" x 7" square styro lined boxes (usually hold three short deli cups) is running $58-$60... the regular sized snake boxes are easily $70 .
I try my best to charge people between $50-$60 shipping (and I eat the rest of the costs myself)...
Buyers might not realize that even ontop of the $70 shipping costs, we spent $3.50-$5.00 on a styro lined box (if we're using a new one) and ~$1 on a cold pack gas to drive the box to teh shipping office.
It's killing the online market (well that and the fact that the economy has ruined alot of values. Heck, I recently bought ADULT breeder kings for $30-$60ea...). -----
