We ship exclusively with Federal Express. Because of volume, we have discounted the fee to $59 per carton shipped to $59. The fee is on a per carton cost regardless of zip code & weight. The reason we do not include the FedEx in the price. It allows us to charge by the pound for lobster not by the piece. A VERY IMPORTANT POINT. WHY BUY BY THE POUND? See below. Buying by the lobster can cost you a 20% variance in weight and a price difference of $3-5 per lb of lobster. For instance: if the offer is for a box of 12 select lobsters between 2.5 to 3 pound lobsters; a 6 pound difference can occur at half a pound per lobster. You could be out the six pound difference. Our method is we validate your card and upon packing, the correct weight will be charged the true weight to your card. Using this flat shipping rate, we still beat the competition for minimum orders. When other sites have delivery included or "free delivery"; you still pay delivery because it's in the price of the lobster. You will be out of pocket for paying for delivery for the missing difference in shipping weight. Shop around and compare pricing! We do and in comparison we are lower. We sell by the pound! Not by the lobster! You do not have to LOG IN, ACCOUNT REGISTER or GIVE CREDIT CARD INFO to receive the cost of the delivered lobsters. Just enter your zip code in your first shopping cart page to validate your zip code with FedEx and your total delivered cost will appear. Multiple box orders are further discounted.
