I am looking at purchasing some shipping boxes for my upcoming litters this summer to have on hand and would love peoples opinions on different types used :) I am looking to find some that are a good bang for the buck and that are reusable preferably :) Thanks :)

Versa shippers, or Equine Express-google, you can find a few places that sell them, range from 22-30 dollars, plus shipping.

Was going to say Reproduction Resources also. Think the last time I bought them there they were $25 (ice pack included).

Do you happen to have a friend/parent/co-worker who is diabetic? My mother in law gets insulin shipped in really nice boxes with ice packs that I have used for shipping semen in. Great quality and FREE.

I just used the Rover from http://www.equitainer.com/Canine/

Shipped two boxes directly to the stud owner and ended up using both of mine and one of hers to do three inseminations. Had a litter of 9 healthy labradors two weeks ago. Boxes are sturdy and the precious "gold" arrived in perfect condition.

I saved my boxes to use again.

I have used the boxes that vaccine comes in, from Revival Animal, for years, without any problem. Cost:$3.50 plus shipping.

I thought about those insulin boxes my husband gets. I had 12!! Just tossed them all. Next time maybe I'll bring them to a show and see if anyone wants them--you're right...brand new, sturdy and with an ice pack.

I've used CLONE chilled semen kits for years and have had great success. They sell from http://innovativecaninereproduction.com/html/chilled_semen.php There frozen semen is amazing too. I hear they are under new ownership too! I tried minitube once and was very unhappy with the results. I wont make that mistake again.

Exodus for sure. I have used them for years, easy, and reliable.
