What affects the cost of shipping embryos
Rather than a single flat fee, the cost of a transfer reflects the specifics of your journey. The main factors are:
- Distance and route — a cross-town move and a transatlantic one are very different journeys
- Domestic or international — international transfers involve more documentation and coordination
- Timing and urgency — how soon it needs to happen
- Number of shippers or specimens — a single shipper or a larger consignment
- Documentation and permits — particularly for cross-border transfers
- Clinic requirements — the procedures at both the origin and destination
Why we quote every transfer individually
Because no two journeys are the same, we do not publish one flat rate — it would not be honest, and it would either overcharge simple moves or underquote complex ones. Instead, we look at your specific route, timing and paperwork and give you a clear, personalised quote with no surprises. Getting one is simply a conversation, and there is no obligation.

Frequently asked questions
How are embryos transported?
Embryos are transported in validated liquid-nitrogen dry shippers that hold the ultra-low temperatures cryopreserved specimens need. Every transfer is personally managed by a dedicated specialist from collection through to delivery.
Can you transport embryos internationally?
Yes. We coordinate both domestic and international transfers, working directly with fertility clinics, storage facilities and the relevant requirements to plan each journey carefully.
Will my embryos go through airport X-ray screening?
No. Your shipment stays with your dedicated specialist throughout the journey and is never checked as baggage or passed through airport X-ray screening.
Do you work directly with fertility clinics?
Yes. We work directly with clinics, embryologists and laboratory staff to coordinate collection, documentation and delivery.
Do you work with surrogacy agencies?
Yes. We regularly partner with surrogacy agencies to coordinate domestic and international transfers for intended parents.
How much does it cost to ship embryos?
It depends on the route, whether it is domestic or international, timing and documentation. We quote every transfer individually so the price reflects your specific journey.
