Austin Hunter2011 Rates for Dip, Pack, Ship, etc
What are the latest ball park figures to dip, pack, crate, and ship skins back to the US from RSA? Tanning done in the US. All in, delivered to your house - say Dallas TX.
My friends got some quotes it it seemed HIGH. And I'm going as well this summer and am concerned now about high costs and/or opportunistic pricing.

cameronaussieDear Austin
Not exactly what you want but. My costs.
5 full skins
5 back skins
18 capes
23 skulls
Cleaned, skins tanned, packed and delivered to RSA air port $6,500 US
How big of a crate? How many hides and horns? How far is it from the airport to the house? Are they clearing the trophies themselves or using a broker to clear them?
What price are they quoting?
Too damned much, but I keep doing it anyway.Like Hutty said, need more info.
