The order will then be placed with Celle, we arrange an Import Permit with CFIA for the shipment, and dry shippers are sent to the State Stud.  The shipment should arrive and, once cleared by CFIA, be available by late March or early April. Once you have been notified that the shipment has been cleared, we ask that you pick-up or arrange to have your order shipped within 30 days.    

 

We use Dr. Claire Plante DVM to store and ship the semen.  Her address is: 7666 – 8th Line, Nichol Township, Guelph, Ontario N1H 6J2, tel (519) 820-3999.  *Please note: The shipping/handling charge per dose, as seen on the order form, assists in paying for all the costs to get your semen order into storage at Dr. Plante’s facility (Shipping from Germany, import permits, insurance etc) as well as her handling fee to pack the semen when shipping it on to you, so long as Dr. Plante has more than 48 hours’ notice of shipping (If shipping is requested with less than 48 hours’ notice an extra fee of $100.00 (Subject to change) will be billed by Dr. Plante.  As well, if Dr. Plante has to charge a dry shipper the cost is $75.00 (Subject to change). The shipping/handling fee does not  cover the shipping costs of FedEx or Purolator to ship the semen to you from Dr. Plante. All FedEx and Purolator costs associated with shipping  your dry shipper to  and from Dr. Plante’s Facility are covered by you as the buyer of the doses. If you know of someone else in your area purchasing doses with us, please note this on your order form so we can ship them together, or if we see other orders coming from a similar location we will contact you to see if the doses could be shipped together in an effort to assist with lowering the shipping cost for you.   

 

When you have been notified that the shipment has been cleared by CFIA, you will have to arrange for your dry shipper to be sent to Dr. Plante ( we recommend that FedEx be used) or  you can also arrange to personally take a dry shipper to Dr. Plante.  The club also has two dry shippers and these may be rented at $50 for up to two weeks use, this does not include any courier costs for transportation or charging the dry shipper.  If you would like to rent a dry shipper contact Marjorie Haus (r_mhaus@xplornet.com).
