If the destination is LEO, where most everything is happening, it is closer to 2.7 km/s. From most asteroids considered, delta v is negligible off the surface. To ship resources to LEO I'm sure it would be more but unlikely more then the moon. And if we capture very small nearby NEOs that are whizzing by the Earth anyway, the delta v is even lower.
