Price for shipping from Europe - Page 2

Lets say you pay $500 for shipping a Pup from Belgium to wherever in the USA that i do not think is expensive
First you have to get there and back that from Belgium is 4 Hours drive each way then an hour doing this and that and Paper work, so a Day has gone by,
Does not the breeder have to charge for his days work and his fuel costs and remember that is all included in the $500 dollars 
It is the airline who makes the money
No' i when you think the fuel cost alone is about $70 dollars, then the days work the breeder is not getting anything out of that other than a little back for the work It is no fault of the breeder that the flight costs are so high then you have the crate the dog must travel in do you think that does not cost money think straight before you shout i say Who ever charges that amount is not rooking the Buyer that is certain
When i see Pups advertised Born and Bred in the USA and an asking price of 1500 USA dollars to over 2.500 dollars i do not know where some of you Guys are coming from,
 You can get a top class bred Pup from over here with both Parents Korclassed, both Parents ScH titled, both Parents Hips and Elbows top class and DNA for around 1700 USA Dollars Shipping included all in to your nearest airport in the price all in so why the big deal

Steve,

Well said - those are some of the reasons that I had my pup imported.

NO one is mentioning the price of the pup Steve ITs the airfare cost PERIOD thats too high. I can get just as good a working pup here as in Europe I promise you, You just don't know where to look. As for show dogs I dont have a clue of where to look for one.

That is what i am talking about the Airfare and what it entails, one on here quotes $500 for freight but the breeder has to get to the airport supply the crate etc from Belgium to Frankfurt it is a 4 to 7 hour drive each way depends on where you live so $500 is not expensive
I quoted the price of a Pup when i see Pups sold in the USA for silly prices when a Guy can can a top bred working line Pup for about 1700 dollars all in and that is not bad at all
I too am not talking about Showline Dogs i know nothing about them

No, 500 Euros is not the same price of a puppy. A good working puppy anyway.  500 Euros equal approx. $684 US Dollars. Who is selling a top puppy anywhere for $684 dollars?

 

I just shipped  an adult GSD 75 lbs. a week ago form Frankfurt, to RI . The cost was $ 628, plus  $35 to  for handling in Logan Airport in Boston.  I believe it is based on weight. Hope this helps.

What is a regular price over there in the USA for a top Class bred Working Line 8 week old Pup
with its Mother and Father ScH1 to 3 must  at least Sch 3 one side of its parents and KKL1 or 2
Hips and Elbows normal or maybe one grade below on one parent DNA
How much would you pay for the Pup  without transport over there for i have never asked this before as i do not live there but i find it interesting

had a 5 month old pup shipped from Czech republic to JFK airport in NY and the cost was $650. Newark International which is only 6 miles away but an easier drive for me was $950.00. Then there was the $35.00 handling charge.
Customs at JFK and just plain getting around Cargo city at JFK is a pain in the you know what BUT. Went with JFK
Anyone explain the handling charge?
