OUCH! I would call bullshit. I paid a lot (and I mean A LOT) less than that for a bigger crate two years ago. Yes, yes, the rising price of fuel influences these things but not by as much as we are talking about here. JMHO, JohnTheGreek | |||

Seems to be the going rate. This past Feb. I paid $2000+/- for a shipment from Namibia and $2400+/- for one from RSA  ______________________ | |||

Good info, I am waiting for a shipping quote on my taxidermy in S Africa. Could you tell me what is actually in this box. Such as Shoulder mounted Buffalo, Kudu or whatever. It seems pretty heavy relative to the size. I bet you have a bunch of wood and soapstone carvings. Thanks Honkey NRA Life DRSS Searcy 470 NE The poster formerly known as Uglystick | |||

Baboon, If you want another opinion/quote - Check with John Meehan at Fauna and Flora[jjmeehan@faunaandflora.com] about using his Ocean Cargo scheme in conjunction with Safari Air Cargo in Johannesburg. Ocean Cargo was significantly cheaper to Florida at least, not sure about Houston. It's worth a call at least. Les | |||

I'm ok with the quote.I heard that the dock fees can bring up the price on ocean freight in Houston.The biggest reason I would not go with ocean freight is ships have rats Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war; That this foul deed shall smell above the earth With carrion men, groaning for burial. | |||

That looks kinda steep, I would give John as call as someone above mentioned. I think my stuff was 1300 total and than was to my door for one peddestal kudu mount, one sholder kudu, one shoulder WB, one impalla, Zebra rug and pictures and a big ass carving that was 6 ft long. Pietersburg (SP) to my door. Billy, High in the shoulder (we band of bubbas) | |||

Baboon, I think that all the Fauna and Flora Ocean Cargo shipments come in through New York then overland from there. Rats...well, the trophies will be pretty well packaged, inside a sealed container, tanned hides etc. - can't be too tasty I wouldn't think. Les | |||

I'd try getting a quote thru Novotrans. Just got a quote for one of my clients for a blue wb shldr, waterbuck shldr, blesbok shldr, impala shldr, zebra f/s and gemsbok shldr, air shipped, for $2300 to Chicago. Much bigger crate than you have there. Hair, not Air! Rob Martin | |||
