Thanks for the reply.
All valid points.
If delivery was just $1 a mile I would be all over it. Quick math tells me the delivery would cost me around $1500 when I figure in the delivery fee at $1.75 a mile plus the minimum order requirement which is $2,000 and I am only looking at maybe $1,000 of fish. I could very likely go get them twice for what it would cost to have them delivered.
I have several trucks on of which has one of those sliding bed covers. I could put coolers under it and close the cover to keep the sun off them. Or we have trailers and flatbed trucks if we wanted to take big totes to get the fish. And by totes I don't mean rubber made totes I meant the big 275 gallon IBC totes that are plastic with a metal cage around them.
Paying $2,500 to get them isn't really a deal breaker it is relatively cheap in the grand scheme of everything else I am spending on the pond it just seems crazy spending 1.5 times what the fish actually cost to get them here.
