esshup	I have had people request that I ship fish to them. I tried doing it last year, and the cost and more importantly the time associated with doing it made me put on the website that I am NOT going to ship fish any more. It takes about 45 min to an hour to catch, count, bag, add O2 to the bag, then double bag, then source a Styrofoam cooler, source a cardboard box to put the cooler in, source a cold pack and make the label. Then it's another 1/2 hour (and 25 miles) each way drive to the UPS center to ship them. I quickly found out that with the way shipping companies are run today, it's pointless to ship them any other way than next day air, for delivery by noon the next day. My question to the people that think shipping and handling is too much, what would you charge for 2 hours of your time plus 50 miles? Then add in the shipping supply cost and the actual shipping cost (plus overhead to pay for taxes, etc.)?
