SwaY Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I know a few who buy a chilled semen shipped and either use Australia Post express service or they deliver to the airport and use AAE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwaY Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Any of the pet transport companies - Jet Pets, Dogtainers etc You may also want to contact Wayrod he has great prices on freight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayrod Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) Transporting chilled semen is quite straight forward if handled correctly. I transported some this morning from a Melbourne Veteranian to a Qld Veterinarian. The price you pay is based on the service that is being provided ie pickup, transportation container hire, airfare, delivery. The weight of a chilled semen transportation container is part of the total weight, so pricing for air transport is similar to transportation of a dog. Many breeders I know prefer same day service in preference to overnight services but at the end of the day the final decisions normally comes down to costs and urgency. Let me know if I can help.

sandgrubber Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 We always did airport to airport and sent it with Australian Air Express. This is relatively cheap and minimizes chances of the semen sitting around somewhere on a shelf for many hours while someone procrastinates on doing the paperwork. You can choose whether to do next flight (more expensive) or same day (which usually means next flight except if things are busy). But I lived 30 minutes from Perth Airport . . . so the drive was no big deal. Probably best to get guidance from a local breeder or vet who knows the system well.
