Are there any online stores with free shipping? or reasonable shipping prices that make buying online cheaper then the stores?
 
IMO, if you find such a vendor, it's more than likely a scam. The lfs price includes the store's shipping costs which are discounted when dealing through an account and when dealing with volume (1 2" fish ships for the same as 10 2" fish due to dimensional weight shipping calculations, volume discounts, etc.).
Reputable online dealers that offer free shipping, account for the cost of shipping in their sale prices.

Sounds like you didn't add enough to the order. Probably could have added more stuff i.e. filter media, more food, frozen food, etc.

well i didnt wanna buy stuff i didnt need, and shipping would be more due to more weight.

Depends on the stuff. If you wanted free shipping some will give it, but you'll have to spend a minimum, lowest I've seen is spend $50 and get free shipping. But usually that will not include live fish.

i am in need of a CHEAP filter for my 55, do you know where i can get a good deal? like under 30 shipped?
 
Good cheap filter? For under $30? Don't know of any off the top of my head. May have to just check as many online retailers you can find.
 
Some may give you free shipping if you buy over $50 or something like that.
