Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Those numbers don't make sense, April...The FedEx and SYR "retail" rate show as pretty similar, but the RE "retail" rate is almost $50 lower.
The only thing I can guess is that RE's program doesn't use the same dimensional weight calculator...unless you had a typo when you were submitting the information, there.

Most folks shipping with a flat rate are indeed eating the difference. And it does go back to the days of regular $35-$55 shipping fees, which are indeed gone. FedEx and UPS Rates go up about 3% each year, so it is quite a bit different than 10 years ago.
As for the RE rate, the dimensional weight on that box is 11 pounds. I don't know why their site quote function doesn't figure it out correctly, but if you enter it as the 11 pounds that it will be billed at, the numbers start to all come together ("retail is $112"). Their FedEx retail figure is still off, but the math at RE has never been very accurate, as long as I have seen it. I have no idea why that is.

We also offer a deeper discount as your package volume increases, or to beat your current FedEx rate. That rate, along with our customer service and On-Time and Live Arrival Insurance coverage, adds up to the best possible shipping experience.
So when trying to match another breeder's "$55 flat rate shipping" price, he may indeed be getting that, or perhaps eating only $10 off it, compared to your $25, depending on the different rate.
