Shipping chilled semen for a surgical

What does your vet recommend? How should the semen be prepared, packaged and shipped for a surgical? Do they recommend spinning it, or will they want to spin it? Is there a preferred extender for a successful surgical?

My repro vet wants it LABELED with the stud dogs name first of all. He sometimes gets many tubes each day, and he has to know names. He likes it concentrated to about 6 cc's but he will spin it down anyway and re-extend it with his favorite extender.

For a very simple answer, you would do it no differently than any other shipment, nothing special on the shipping end.
