How much money do you guys typically spend on an online order? Just curious. Im about to buy 4 red mota with 20 dollar shipping for 50 or so dollars.

For livestock I go until I hit free shipping. For most coral shops that’s usually around the 5/$600 mark.

Whether I'm buying 2 fish or 20, I pay for no less than overnight shipping (I actually prefer same day airport to airport) and pick them up at the airlines office.
So a small package overnight (within 24 hours) is usually @ $50 (minus the cost of fish) or is around $80 airport to airport (minus cost of fish), With airport to airport, the cost is usually competitive, because a lot of fish (water weight (@9 lbs per gallon) ship for a lot less cost than even a small package with Fed Ex or even the USPS..

Typically I'll pay $150 or around that number. for Live aquaria I'll always hit over $100 each and every time so I get free shipping.
The shipping cost is null if you want the fish bad enough though, just recently bought a $5 fish with $30 shipping. Worth it in my opinion.

Live aquaria I always order up to $100 for free shipping... if I'm close enough I'll throw in some random plants to bump up for free lol

And other vendors... at least $150 preferably $200+
