These shipping charges are killing my margin.
I buy and sell tarantulas for profit as well as breed and sell dubias. But good God, the shipping charges! I see people on this forum advertising around $10 overnight shipping... how?! By far the cheapest I've found is USPS, and even they're (on average) $40 for each package. This is killing my margin, there just has to be something that I don't know. Any ideas? How do you ship? Or are these people just taking the hit on shipping and making up for it with overpriced items?
To keep the mods away: Please do not discuss "brown box" shipping. I am simply looking for cheaper overnight shipping. You know, for baby clothes.
