Alll the major airlines have their own freight offices/terminals. So they go to pick it up at that freight office. Which is usually near the actual passanger airport but not inside the same passanger airport that you board planes in.

Yep
Usually freight offices are in a seperate building but around the general airport whether right beside it or down the street.

Not to be rude, but you should know how to use a postage calculator. Type in all the information and it tells you. I'd calculate for an 8 pound box measuring 16x12x12. Or something along those lines. There is a star next to everything you are required to fill in, it will inform you of which one you missed. :)

i know but the only reason why i ask is that i didn't know what to put for weight and the box size since their are different sizes and didnt know what size i should use. And well thanks :)
 
Yeah I will usually just guesstimate on the size of the box and weight. You will get your "average" price. Want to send some things my way?:naughty: lol

I wish silvers were 7-10 bucks here... they are like 50+ for a 4 incher. One pet store got a large one from someone who didn't want it anymore and they are trying to sell it for 200 :confused: :ROFL: I asked them "Are you serious?":ROFL:

and Sooorrrryyy Sheesh thats why i said i was a nOOb! at this :headshake

Water weighs 8lbs a gallon and then factor in a couple extra lbs for bags/box/heat packs. Whoever is shipping these first needs to borrow a syrofoamed lined box from the lfs since that's what you'll have to use.. Then you will know your box size and can even weigh the box seperate to get a better weight estimate.

The price you pay for the fish doesn't factor into the equation though.. lol
