Large Orders Needing Two Boxes

[goReptiles]

I'm not sure where exactly to put this, but since in a way it deals with shipping, I found this are my best bet...

So I have two questions.

1) Would you sell all of your available reptiles to one willing customer? Or do you prefer to sell a max number to one person?

2) When shipping large orders that need a second box, do you charge for the second box or have the customer pay?

I don't see why not, If the geckos are for sale and one person is willing to pay for all of them then ya. Seems like that would be easier for you. as far as the shipping, I would just charge them exactly what you get charged.

Usually just getting a bigger box is WAY cheaper than getting another box!!
Example: Last year a customer bough 21 leos and I just went to Target and bough a 10X10X10 box and it fitted 21 deli cups and a 1lb cold pack with a 1/2 of foam insulation which I bough at home depot( I believe) and it worked out nicely. The final cost was like $80 something for shipping, but I had like a discount and it was a bit less.
And the seller payed for the shipping and all.
So I would say a bigger box is cheaper than two separate boxes,

True. I was just trying to use what I had. The customer decided to just keep with the first half of the order due to space concerns, which will fit nicely in the large boxes (12x12x10) that I have.

I always get bigger boxes. I hate shipping 2 boxes even if they are taped together.
