The last time we ordered from J&L they calculated each person's shipping cost and put that on the invoices. :mrgreen:

Logical and easy to accomplish suggestion, boB :cool:

Take each person's invoice total, divide it by the total of the entire order.
Now you have a number that represents their percent of the order.
Multipy the shipping costs by that number for each person. That way everyone pays shipping costs equal to the amount they ordered.

that only works if the weight ='s the cost for every item. where it would go wrong is if I ordered 20 snails at 25.80 and some one ordered 1 emerald crab at 7.46, the snails are 3X the cost which means by your reasoning if shipping was 20.00 then the snail owner should pay 15 of it and the crap owner 5.00 but in reality the weight of these two items will be the same so shipping (which is based on weight in a size category) should be split equal. Only way to do it is to count up the bags that are similar size and say a small bag counts as 1 part, large bag counts as 2 parts and add the total amount of parts and divide the total by it. pain in the butt, but works.

Called my order in today Bev

30 Astrea
30 Cerith
30 Margarita
10 Nassarius
1 Sally lightfoot
and 6 sexy shrimp, but Allen doubted they'd have any in by the time this shipped

Thanks again

TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO ORDER!

For ordering information, see part way down of page one of this thread.

ORDER UPDATE

Just talked with Jeff at J&L. Shipping will most likely be during the day of Friday, February 11, but he will phone and confirm on the shipping date. If the shipment goes as planned, and is not bumped (which he said is not very likely), pick up should be Friday early evening.

Shipping costs will be added to each individual's bill, so there will be no need to bring cash to pay me for shipping.

Will update again when I get more information.

Thanks Bev :)

Pickup at your place?

Your halides shipped on tuesday so they should be here by then.

Great, Josh :biggrin: Tell me how much I owe and we'll have enough cash on hand for the halides.

Yup, pick up at my place. Will PM those who have PMed me confirming their orders with address and other specifics.

Bulbs were on my doorstep today :)
