As far as shipping tanks go,yes for a single tank it would be very expensive due to the size,and weight if its glass.For something like that,the best way is to ship a truckload or 1/2 truckload or even a skid.The smaller the size of shipment the more per piece it will cost to ship.For example the above tank costs $282 to ship,but a skid load would be a lot less,and a truckload would be significantly less.Something to keep in mind when we deal with stores.Smaller stores regardless of the type will pay higher shipping costs unless they belong to a buying group,than the larger Wall-mart type store that can ship in volume.( I know this doesn't add to the $$ value discussion,but it will have an effect on price differential)
