As an ANA member you are entitled to submit coins to NGC without being a member of their Collector's Society, to submit to PCGS you must either go through an authorized dealer or join their membership (at various levels and prices). ANACS does not require any club to join and accepts direct submissions as does ICG and SEGS.
I assume the dealer will charge you the cost of slabbing and postage there and back, the dealer get's a very small break on the price from the invoiced amount, sometimes a good dealer will pass that on to you, it is usually around 20%.
What are the coins you have had sent in? And to which grading company? I assume the dealer you are working with recommended them to be slabbed? As not all coins will benefit from being graded and slabbed, sometimes the cost of such a service is more than the coin is worth. Others cases it is almost mandatory to have a particular coin slabbed - if for the authentication alone.
