Dude,

First off, you're horning in on a Vendor's forum...Not Just Fish is the guy's business name, not a spot for everyone to just post up stuff.

Second, $10 per mile per pound? Are you nuts? A Taxi Cab is cheaper than that.

Third, at a dime a worm, they better arrive dressed in tuxedos. Your prices aren't competative, sorry. Maybe the fruit flies are (I don't have anything that eats them), but the rest of your wares are more expensive than feeding fresh off the dock grouper fillets.

Research what your competitors charge. I mean at LFS in my area Brine Shrimp go for about a buck a Qt. Night Crawlers are 7 1/2 cents each and a dime for extra large. Red wigglers are 50 for a buck.

Now if you have Black Worms, those go for $10 a pound from one of the Vendors here and O/N shipping is $20 for up to 3 lbs.

I wish you success in your new endeavor, but you should post up in the Marketplace Forum and not in a guy's business Forum.
