Shipping question

Hi,

I'm interested in getting an order of two part and kalk for my 80G tank. Which two should I get to last me a while with combined shipping. I was thinking 5 or 10 pounds of kalk but not sure what will fit in a box. Thanks!

one box will fit either 3 kits or 10 pounds of kalk .

if you wanted both in one box it would only be possible to fit one kit and one 5 pound bag.

we are currently attempting to set up a system to offer both UPS and these boxes but it's kinda hard because one is based off how much can fit inside a box and the other how much it weighs.

for anyone that lives on a coastline state these boxes are a way better deal than UPS Like$9 a box verses $14-15 it would be with UPS. For every other state UPS is about the same price and way less confusing. I'd say 80% of our orders are coastline states though....

Thanks for the prompt reply! What about two part with a 5 pound of kalk? Will a box fit 20 pounds of kalk?

What about 5 pounds of kalk? Will it fit with any 2 part kits? I'm trying to see if I can fit it in one box to save on shipping. Thanks.
