Sperm Donor for you

The answer to "Do you ship?" question is " Almost never ". Before we even start talking about me, m y advice is, you will be better off (less risk AND likely less cost) simply traveling to New York City/New Jersey for in-person AI donation, rather than trying to deal with shipping . This post is to explain why I almost never ship. It will also cover what can be done to make me be willing to ship to you in case you legitimately cannot travel and thus cannot take my advice above . The main reason I avoid shipping is because I only donate as anonymous donor . I donate sperm  for free . But that does not mean I am willing to use my own money to pay for shipping - you would have to cover the cost. AND  Paying for shipping involves two separate costs : Cost of shipping kit (plus shipping and handlingh charges from kit company).  Cost of UPS Air Next Day shipping of the sperm to you. So, if you want me to ship, you have to pay for full shipping costs.  BUT,...

When a potential recipient asks me about shipping, my answer is always the same: you as a recipient should not bother with shipping. You will be better off (less risk AND likely less cost) simply traveling to where the donor is, for in-person AI donation, rather than trying to deal with shipping. Why? Costs of shipping As I calculated here , a single shipping (cost of shipping kit + delivery to you) ranges between $210 to $420 for a single shipping , depending on quality of shipping kit, whether you overnight or do 1 day delivery, and where you are located. You may need to do more than one insemination to succeed, especially since shipped sperm may not work as well - especially when opting for cheaper options. Risks of shipping You never met the person, so you don't know who you are working with.  You have no guarantee that the person used their own sperm (worst case, could be someone else's with STD) Second worst case, they simply demand pre-payment and disa...

TL;DR: Shipping kit can cost between $130 to $170 for regular and $200 for Cryo (some sites sell kits for less but they tuck ~$40 shipping charge, so total cost is the same). Shipping of sperm can cost between $80-$150 for slower riskier 24hour shipping and $110-$180 overnight (UPS Next Day Air Early), depending on location. So you are looking at a range between $210 for one shipping  at the cheapest range and $420 at more expensive range. However, please be aware that a single insemination does not always work - especially after the sperm has been shipped. So, you may need multiple shipments .  Shipping kits - 2021 edition 1. https://tenderneedsfertility.com/product/tyb-test-yolk-buffer-donor-collection-set-and-insulated-shipping-box/ $165 for the kit, $2??? for shipping it 2. https://www.nataldonor.com/ $150 for "Single TYB Donor Kit" - not 100% sure what is included and what shipping cost is. 3. Donor Home Delivery (seems different than one from...

Many potential donation recipients ask why I only donate anonymously. I'm creating this post to help explain why, and address some of their concerns/objections. The main reason to be anonymous-only sperm donor, is to protect oneself legally against future child support judgements levied by state governments. Unfortunately, the standing legal precedent in US courts is that a sperm donor is liable for child support payments, regardless if any circumstances such as signed agreements . The donor is liable even if they sign a contract with the recipient waving parental rights. The donor is liable even if the recipient themselves are not seeking child support.  The case is brought by the state government, NOT the parents. The only exception is if the insemination is performed by the fertility doctor in a clinic. Because of that, until and unless US legal climate changes fully to protect known sperm donors from legal jeopardy (via federal law, or in the specific state I...
