I want to send maybe five lobsters to Minnesota and I am looking for a cheap way to do it.

I know that Harbor sends lobsters, but they charge $70. I am not sure if that is per lobster, includes the price of the lobster, or what.

There has to be something cheaper, right?

Three Sons Lobster and Fish out of Portland ship. I think its 50 bucks for 5lbs 75 bucks for 10 lbs plus cost of seafood so like 5 chix and shipping would run you 75 to 90 bucks. I am totaly doing this off memory but tryin to give a ballpark figure. Hope this helps

You can pack them in a styrofoam cooler with seaweed and dry ice and send them UPS/next day, but you have to make sure they are fresh and that someone will be home to receive them on the other end.

I'm not sure if you have to mention that you have "live lobsters", but I think you need to have it clearly stated somewhere that you are shipping dry ice.
