I recently paidd 193. on Delta cargo and the other two biggies are even more expensive. North West and Continental. I am shipping two on Thursday in two crates and the fare is $261. Now, I ask you, should the breeder simply do away with the other charges? Besides the actual airfare, the breeder will have to purchase a shipping crate for about thirty dollars and pay for a health certificate that can be anywhere from forty dollars on up. So you have no right to complain about her asking for more shipping money. oh and did I mention that breeders travel sometimes over an hour each way to get to the airport. I know I do and that takes gas money. But as far as the other stuff, I am sorry you have been treated this way. I just felt I had to address the shipping part since I am a breeder and ship on a regular basis. |
The 261 that is being paid for these two to fly is being paid by someone else BUT, I will be spending approx. $75. at the vet tomorrow for health certificates and updated rabies shots plus buying two shipping crates. So you see, it all adds up. I am in no way taking up for this breeder just addressing your comment about shipping being only $160.and yes, when you advertise on certain websites, it askss the one selling the dog if travel crates, health certificates and etc comes with the dog. But it does not mean they are included in the price of the dog unless the words "shipping included in price" are there.
