I was just on the Infodog website to enter my dogs for the Bare Bones Specialty and they are charging a $15 processing fee for EACH dog. Has anyone else run into this? I want to enter 4 dogs. IMO that's a lot to charge for a processing fee!

Infodog has always charged a $15 fee for entries going to a show secretary.

If your worried about the dealine just overnight your entries to the show secretary. It will cost you about $16.50

Ok Thanks! That's a lot better than a $60 processing fee for 4 dogs....Highway robbery IMO

Yes, in fact $16.50 for all four dogs is a lot better than $15 for each dog. I don't disagree that it's highway robbery, but there are other alternatives that will get your entries there on time. Also, if you want to increase your chances that overnight really means overnight, DO NOT use the US Postal Service overnight. Once burned, thrice shy - I use Fedex, but UPS or DHL should do the job also. Good luck, and don't spend so much time griping to the Forum that you miss the deadline!

Thanks to all who answered the question about the infodog service fee. I just got back from a soccer tournament so I am just now reading the postings on the forum. Some people use an entry service but they can be rather pricey.

Overnight your entries using FedEx, etc, as Greg said I would not trust the USPS Express Mail - they do not guarantee overnight to all areas. The entries do not close until 6:00 pm on Wednesday, Oct. 10th so you can use standard overnight with FedEx or if you only have a couple of entries we do have fax entry service - I believe the fax has a service fee of $3.50 per entry of dog.
