[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1256703, member: 12607"] Sounds about right. When I can get semen on a bull I want from the local ABS, Select Sires, Accelerated Genetics, or Genex reps, there's no 'shipping' cost... but if I'm ordering from an outfit like Cattle Visions, Universal, Bovine Elite, etc... I'm figuring on having to pay 60 bucks or more - and I'm usually gonna order enough to get the cost/unit down to a buck or two. Order 30,40,50 units, and the hit isn't that bad. If you're just getting 5 units, then, yeah, it seems like a lot. Some them offer reduced or free shipping, if you order 50, 100, or more units. If you look at the cost of a new vapor shipper and shipping container, N2 to charge it - and the cost to ship one, round-trip, by UPS or FedEx... $60-$70 really is fairly reasonable. [/QUOTE]
