What breather bags should i get for shipping fish?

[Rocky998]

Would be less than 100 after materials tho

What??? How? That makes no sense unless I'm missing something... It's also late here and my brain is fried after over stressing this. So I'm sorry

Nobody is going to pay $50 for shipping of just one grudgeon

But have ten fish in the box and the shipping is now $5 per fish

No no no... What are you talking about? Why would I charge that for shipping!?!?
That's insane!

Cost of foam, tape, shipping labels, breather bags. It would add up, especially if you ship each fish separately.

I ship things for my business. Shipping supplies add up

I'm thinking about using this box for shipping fish:

Priority Mail Box - 4 | USPS.com

This unique, cube-shaped box accommodates a variety of items such as clothing, books, and hats.

store.usps.com

I figure I can fit up to 3 in there

For overnight shipping. Which anyone paying that much for a fish would get. Anything less is ridiculous

Yes yes I know that but what you said was: "Would be less than 100 after materials tho". No edits to it.
Should it be saying something else or am I not seeing the same thing?

Itiwhetu said your profit would be less than 100, you said it would be at least 110. I was saying that after deducting the cost of your shipping supplies you would still be making likely under $100

you should ship overnight to guarantee safe arrival...buyer pays the cost

Ah overnight costs $50... Well that's insane.

If you don’t do overnight shipping any DOAs you’ve guaranteed will come out of your pocket. You’ll have to refund both the cost of the fish, and the shipping

Wait a minute... I thought people ALSO paid for the cost of supplies. Of course not full. Like if each breather bag cost a dollar, wouldn't that be added to the shipping cost?
That's how I thought it worked because someone mentioned to me that the customer paid for supplies used as well.
Was I way wrong?? I feel horrible now.
God I have a headache...

You wouldn’t include that in the shipping cost, you could include it in the overall cost of the fish, but shipping is calculated by the site based off of package weight and location, so the supplies wouldn’t be factored into it

It’s a lot to take in, you’re fine

Why would I have to refund shipping? That doesn't make any sense...
While I know a lot of you guys here have wayyyy more experience on this sort of thing I feel like some of this info isn't adding up... Idk... I'm going nuts though right now.
I just need sleep and then I meet to do more research plus whatever else...
