NOTA BENE: Please follow this link to my Obscure Gems Reptiles, LLC, page: https://www.facebook.com/people/Obscure-Gems-Reptiles-LLC/61578708203832/, and read my Credentials, Conditional Live Arrival Guarantee (more like Exemptions from Live Arrival Guarantee) and Payment Terms & Conditions, which are all Pinned to the top of the page.

PRICE MATRIX (for multiple Pickups being delivered at the same time, to one [1] Destination, per itinerary)
One (1) Pickup = $175
Two (2) Pickups = $325
Three (3) Pickups = $450
Four (4) Pickups = $550
Five (5) Pickups = $650
Six (6) Pickups = $750
Successive Pickups will continue to be $100/ea on top of the $750.
Another way of wording it:
1st Pickup = $175
2nd Pickup = $150
3rd Pickup = $125
4th Pickup = $100
5th Pickup = $100
6th Pickup = $100
Successive Pickups will continue to be $100/ea.
NOTA BENE: This is when ALL Stops, id est all Pickups + Delivery, are within Standard Territory, id est: All of Pennsylvania down the east coast to Tampa, across the Gulf down to San Antonio, over to San Angelo and straight up through the greater eastern halves / portions of OK / KS / NE, up to Minneapolis, the lower halves of WI and MI, and everything within. Create imaginary latitudinal and longitudinal lines if You will, and there You have it. This is all give-or-take by the way; id est, I don't cut hairs.
EXTENDED TERRITORY SURCHARGES (ETSs)
For each Stop, whether Pickup or Delivery, outside of Standard Territory, there will be a surcharge. This is called an Extended Territory Surcharge (ETS). Exempli gratia:
$25: Laredo, Lubbock & Odessa, TX
$50: El Paso, TX; Cheyenne, WY
$75: Tucson & Phoenix, AZ
Very rarely, a Shipment will incur both the Seller and Buyer (Recipient) being in Extended Territories, in which there will be two (2) ETSs. Exempli gratia: El Paso, TX-->Staples, MN would be $250 total: $175 (base fee) + $50 (El Paso ETS) + $25 (Staples ETS).
NOTA BENE: This ETS is for the Stop or general region, only charged once each time I go there. It is not per Shipment. Therefore, if there are multiple full-priced (id est, $175) Shipments associated with an Extended Territory Stop or general region, whether incoming and / or outgoing, this ETS will be divvied up over all full-priced Shipments, and if there are enough Shipments, the ETS could be negated altogether. Exempli gratia:
Odessa, TX ($25 ETS)
One (1) Shipment = $200
Two (2) Shipments = $175/ea
El Paso, TX ($50 ETS)
One (1) Shipment = $225
Two (2) Shipments = $200/ea
Three (3) Shipments = $175/ea
Tucson / Phoenix, AZ ($75 ETS)
One (1) Shipment = $250
Two (2) Shipments = $225/ea
Three (3) Shipments = $200/ea
Four (4) Shipments = $175/ea
Just to clarify, ETSs have nothing to do with the Price Matrix above. Id est, exempli gratia: If a Buyer in an Extended Territory is receiving two (2) Shipments, it will be $325 (per the Price Matrix) + whatever portion of the regional ETS if applicable, whether $75, $50, $25 or $0.
LARGE SHIPMENT SURCHARGES (LSSs)
Exceptionally large Shipments still incur their own surcharge (possibly on top of an ETS), whether a single large animal (exempli gratia, an adult Ophiophagus hannah), a large pair of animals (e.g., full-grown 1.1 Bitis rhinoceros), or a gazillion animals. This is called a Large Shipment Surcharge (LSS), and it is determined not so much by the number, size or weight of the animal(s), but rather by the overall space of the container(s). Exempli gratia:
>15 Quarts worth of space = $25
>32 Quarts worth of space = $50
>60 Quarts worth of space = $75
>100 Quarts worth of space = $100
NOTA BENE: This is per or by Shipment, which actually saves the Buyer (Recipient) money if they are receiving multiple Shipments. Id est, exempli gratia; receiving four (4) Shipments of 15 Quarts worth of space each = 60 Quarts total, yet it will only cost $550 per the Price Matrix above, not $625.
