Vial transfer cost increase

Just wanted to let you know in case you didn't see it that vial transfers go up from $75 to $200 at the first of the year! The rest of the price increases aren't too bad but that one is a pretty big jump.

    You have to wonder if it's in response to all the seeking and selling that goes on here.

    Oh no that's a big jump! I've been trying to contact someone that has agreed to sale their vials but haven't heard back. I hope I'm able to buy and transfer before the end of the year if the person is still willing to sale!

    Woa!! That's a huge increase!
    It makes sense for them. They lose money on on vials that people buy "second hand" over buying vials NW is selling.

    Wow! That's a huge difference. With a fee that high, I would assume there won't be nearly as many transfers moving forward. Maybe that was their intent? Reduce paperwork while maintaining the same revenue.

    I believe this is the first shipping increase I've seen since I have been a client. I am noticing a pattern though with the vials. Nice sale on vials around the holidays that is immediately followed by price increases at the first of the new year. They used to have customer appreciation sales....

    Basically if there is only one or two vials it is almost better to give them a away. It might backfire though. People wouldn't feel as safe buying larger number of vials if they knew it would be harder to sell later. Kind of disappointing though it is already spendy. :(

    Storage fees are increasing $5 for month to month & $25 for the year. I posted on another forum I am on for other bank ideas. When I looked up the prices all I could say was WOW. we are pretty lucky and I not sure why more ppl don't buy from NW. And the other banks only have .5ML of sperm not 1 ML.
