Shipping for Tampa Bay Live Rock

[MoshJosh]

I want to buy 5lbs of live rock “treasure chest” Shipping options say air or UPS ground. Is ground only in Florida?

I know I’m cheap but don’t want to pay $80 shipping for my $45 purchase. . .

If I shipped live rock I know I wouldn't let my customers choose anything other than next day. The risk of death/die off is too great - resulting in an unhappy customer.

I can't find a ground shipping option on their website. I see air cargo, ups next day and local pick up.

They won't do ground

Hiya,
We only ship next day because the product is just as alive as a fish or invert shipped in water.

• For customers outside Florida, it is UPS Next Day.
• Customers inside the sunshine state also receive orders shipped "next day", UPS "ground" within the state arrives next day but with ground shipping prices.

Hope this helps.

*btw, in some scenarios air cargo can be cheaper than UPS Next Day and it ships same day!
