Choose Now, Use Later
2 ways we make it easier for you:
Guaranteed Availability: VIAL BUY & STORE
You find the donor you want now but are uncertain if his specimens will still be available when you need them.
OR
You have one child by a Fairfax donor and would like to plan a second child by the same donor.
You can keep your fingers crossed and hope your donor will be available when you need him. The more prudent option is to buy doses ahead and store them at Fairfax Cryobank Canadian Distributors. It guarantees your donor of choice is already put aside for you, and you won't find yourself disappointed if he sells out. A donor can sell out at any time, so being prepared makes sense.
All semen specimens are stored in liquid nitrogen tanks. Fairfax Cryobank Canadian Distributors offer several different billing options, including monthly and more economical long-term storage agreements. Patients pay one fee regardless of how many specimens they choose to store. Specimens in storage may be shipped to the health care provider of your choice for the current handling and shipping charges.
VIAL BUY BACK-- a program Fairfax Cryobank started in 1990
You may return any unused specimens that were purchased at regular prices and have never left the Fairfax Cryobank Canadian distributor facility and receive half the original purchase price back.
This includes ANY specimen purchased at ANY time. There are also NO limits to the number of vials you can return for this partial refund. There are NO RESTRICTIONS regarding the status of a client's account. Please note that our Vial Buy Back program is not offered on specimens that have been transferred by the original owner.
A major west coast cryobank has a vial buyback program as well, but there are several important differences. That cryobank's program is NEW, started in August of 2005. Only vials purchased after this date are eligible for a 50% of purchase price buyback. Its program has LIMITS to the number of vials that apply and the repurchase must occur WITHIN 36 MONTHS after the original purchase. Also, RESTRICTIONS apply to the status of client accounts.
Fairfax Cryobank's is a simpler and clearly superior deal: If you want to return vials, Fairfax Cryobank will repurchase them at 50% of their original selling price. We have no strings or conditions except the vials cannot have left our facility.
