I'm guessing the OP may still need a rough estimate for how much the box + water will weigh though for shipping? Or is it a flat rate eithin the US?

Ahh good point. I'm not sure the website did not specify so I doubt its flat rate

I guess if some one could guess the box size, you could pretend its 3/4 full of water and estimate shipping rates that way for a ball park figure?

211$ for a 26lbs box that's 12" by 12". That's 3 gallons of water. ( 8 lbs per gallon) with a 2lbs fish. I used a random ny zip and random nj zip also. This was priority overnight. May be able to use a smaller box.

Holy s**t that's a ton. That why they want you to finalize your order before they give you a shipping quote

They may be able to do better then that thou. So ask them first. Maybe they can ship in a smaller box and less water. I used 3g because that's what I think a efficient amount of water for a 7" would be. I can tell you the shipping on a 3" tig from Cali to pa cost me 40$. But when I got 2 2" paroons from cali from another place they charged me 140$ shipping....
