We have paid shipping on anything over $500 for many many years. In fact we might have actually started the trend, remember there used to be "box" charges also. I absolutely feel the same way, if I'm buying an expensive snake, it amazes me that someone would charge for shipping. Even though the cost has increased when we originally started from I think $32 to $76, I can't see a time where I wouldn't incorporate this expense into our pricing. One reason that individuals charge for shipping is that they are brokering animals--even high dollar ones, so their profit margins are not the same as if they hatched or had the baby born at their facility. Believe it or not some of the profit margins can be very small, so shipping multiple animals on a resale deal would make it almost not worth doing. That actually was part of our strategy when we started this practice--to make it "cost the other guy!"
