They need to be sent overnight, so $50 is basically what you're going to be paying from anyone online. Might want to just stick with your local pet stores.
 
Shipping at 50.00 was worth every penny when they were legal to ship across state lines. Ad is old, you can't get any type of salamander shipped to you anymore so it doesn't matter. In case you don't know, effective Jan 28 2016! U.S. to Block Fungal Peril to Salamanders With Ban on Pet Imports. The ruling implements the Lacey Act by listing as injurious to wildlife, and thereby banning, 201 species of salamanders!

Not all salanders and newts were banned. I don't believe this particular species is on the list, although I may have missed it in my brief search.
 
To Hell with them...what are they going to do? However $50 is still way too much for shipping. I do it all the time for $12 as long as the weather is not too hot/cold.
 
This is an old advertisement and the animals have all been sold.

I am somewhat confused about the comments/questions/issues with regards to shipping. It is apparent that you either don't have animals shipping that often, are using USPS or just don't know the true rates for FedEx next day service because the rate ($50 per order) is well below what we are actually charged for next day service.

While there are sellers that charge less for shipping, generally they are charging much more for the animals which makes up the difference in shipping charges.

I appreciate the comments and inquiries... but again, the animals have been sold.

Thanks again...
 
I love Stacy's response. Odds you aren't caught. But if you are, the seller and buyer both face some pretty nice fines, and jail time is a possibility. So it wouldn't necessarily be worth it to say to hell with them. I wouldn't risk it for you.. And that's a nice usps 2 day shipping price. I'm sure LAG goes with it? I choose to pay the 50-90 bucks over using 2 day shipping even with feeder insect colonies. If you can't stomach the shipping charges, maybe you should stick to local purchases.
