adding fish from SWF.com

I know you're supposed to add fish one at a time and slowly, but how do you all add your fish if you want to place an order at SWF.com. The prices are so good that I would have to order several fish to reach the $79 mark for shipping! How do you all deal with this?

I always buy some inverts (snails, hermits, macro algae), and maybe a coral or two.

By using a QT tank, doing frequent water changes in it if neccessary, and adding to the display gradually.

How many fish would it be okay to add at once? My display is 125 and these will be the first fish (it will be properly cycled first of course). I was thinking probably 2 max, but my QT is only 30 gal.

Depending on fish, I'd say you could add 3-4 small to a cycled 125.
