We use Federal Express exclusively for all of our live Maine lobster shipped for overnight delivery. Because of volume, FedEx gives us a discounted fee on the per carton shipped at $59. The fee is based on a per carton cost regardless of zip code & weight. The reason we do not include the FedEx shipping into the price of lobster is to facilitate pricing at the live Maine lobster market 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 wholesale lobsters
by the lobster could cost you a 20% variance (loss) in weight and a price
difference of $3-5 (increase) 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. It works the same for all lobster sizes selected if the product is offered as a spread weight. Buying lobster by the pound is the only way to get the best lobster price and the correct weight purchased.
Our method is we start the process before packing using the computerized weight and after packing the actual true weight will be credited to your card.
If you do not have a PayPal account, don't worry. Just create a personal pass word and you will go directly to the payment page. It's the safest way to purchase on line. Your credit information is not even shared or stored with our company or any other business..
