Rob, you might want to look at Lone Star Overnight for Texas shipments.

Thanks, Bill. We will. I saw recently on the forums some were shipping this route for pretty cheap...like $15 or something for corals. That would be great, once we have some time we'll look into setting that up.

Yup I used it to ship corals to Kristy and it was only $14! Definitely an incentive for me to order!

You might look into CFI (same day) or Noble (next day) they both offer Flat Rates per Day no matter how many pkgs a day you ship. I can get you in contact with them. Both on Rittiman rd and 35

I don't see a way to choose local pick up instead of shipping...?
OK, now I see local pick up under payment options, but not under the shipping category. So does that mean if I want to pick up locally I have to have cash with me? I can't get past that last part, "Order Review." Sorry I'm being impatient, but you had to post those pictures!

Ok, Tebstan...sorry for tempting you with the pics : )
Harish and I just found a solution and local pickup should display properly now. Make sure you view your cart and verify that you do not have the $49.99 fedex option selected so that you are not billed for it.
Let me know if you need any additional help. Sorry for the confusion.

Our other flat rate options should be updated by tomorrow.
Currently we can only accept FREE local Pickup and FedEx Overnight for $49.99. If you are unable to do local pickup please wait until we have our other options up and running unless of course you are out of state and the FedEx overnight works.

Thanks for all the suggestions both here and via PM. We have updated the first post and website with the shipping services we can provide.
The website also includes more fine print info such as shipping to pickup locations during cold and hot weather to avoid having your corals ride around in a hot or cold truck.

FYI: if anyone plans to order with a LSO shipping option in the next week, please select local pickup and add $19.99 to your paypal checkout until we can configure the shopping cart with LSO $19.99 flat rate.
Thanks.

*update: we no longer offer LSO shipping due to continued errors with shipping through them. We will still offer discounted shipping solutions for our Texas customers via FedEx at a flat rate of $24.99.
