It costs me $150 for the kit and and the last FedEx was $31.00--then I pay for collection. If the client has a FEDEX# the shipment can be billed to them IF NOT I pay and have to collect--kit--2 FedEx fees--collection and stud fee. I am not complaining--it it so easy once you get it all together. No more airport trips for me--the bitch has to be brought in or we do chilled. So many bitch owners are willing to pay all expense as they no longer want to ship--works for me.
