Yeah, that's a lot of money, considering that they charge just $10 shipping costs if you live in the US. I reluctantly paid the $79.95, but it might be worth emailing them and asking if there are any cheaper options. Though bear in mind the shipping costs are for a two way carriage: it includes the cost of them sending you the sample kit, and the cost of returning your sample back to them. They use the DHL courier, and this courier can be arranged to come to your home to pick up your return sample (or you can drop it off at a DHL depot if you prefer).

It also covers insurance... and as another said.. it's picked up from your own home too.

I paid that for shipping costs myself, it may seen a lot but that raw data is invaluable to have (and such a bargin at $99) and you can use it to check out so many different things. I thought of it like this.. I paid more then that to see a ME/CFS specialist for one visit.
