They are nice, and the cheapest shipping I've found anywhere else was 29.99.

Well I understand aceheart's frustration.....They flash in big letters FREE SHIPPING. And you can call it what you want, it will still cost $17.98 for you to get your order......
They should say SHIPPING ONLY $ 17.98..........IMO
EDITED, I earlier posted the wrong total amount and now have changed it.

i really do not mind the $10 processing, but the extra fuel charge and minimum order of $79 when all i want is something that costs $8......
seems like a rip off to me honestly, drop the fuel charge and the minimum order amount. jeez like everyone has a ton of cash to blow every single time they want 1 little thing lol

I would have to agree on that, I would order more often if they didn't have a $79. min. I do understand where they are coming from. The first time I ordered fish from them I bought a fish that I really didn't want just to get to the 79. Plus you really should only add 1 fish a month to show tank.....I had to get 3, but out of those 3, 2 did die so only ended up with one anyway. I would have to say that 1 was bi color angle, I guess theyare hard to get to live anyway.

There isn't any way you will find consistently cheaper prices and better quality at one place. Trust me!
HAHA...but if ya do let me know where it is!!!

I understand and thats one reason why I havent bought yet. However, they cant sell you anything thats live like say a crab for 3.45 and ship it to you AND garauntee it for 10.00. The fuel charge does seem to me to be screwy. But they still couldn't ship a live item that sells for 3.45 or so for 18.00. They could drop the gas charge though and then I'd buy. I doesnt take long at all to get 79.99 bucks added up.

If SWF is reading this and I hope they are, I would like the option of placing an order less that $79 and have them charge me for shipping. However they may have reasons for not doing so. I'd be interested in what they are.
I would be disappointed if they deleted this thread as it is not derogatory in anyway. Surely they can take some constructive criticism.

The 9.99 processing fee and 7.99 fuel charge actually comes to 17.99
