I think a lot of people just don't do the math when it comes to the shipping. They just seen 35/40.00 shipping and flinch, which is understandable but....

If you don't have the freezer space, yeah, it's a problem, and you DO have to pay more upfront, but. The breakdown, even with the shipping costs included, really does end up being cheaper than most local suppliers and WAY cheaper than somewhere like PetSmart selling arctic mice.
