BriceShipping charges
I just got the quote from my taxidermist in Polongkwane (Pietersburg). $4.00 US per kilo. Together with the extras, such as fuel surcharge, export fee, etc., etc., I'm looking at a number just slightly south of $4,000. Ouch! Does anyone have experience in ocean shipping?

nkonkaI'd get on the horn toot-sweet with Fauna and Flora and ask who they most like dealing with when it comes to ocean shipping.

butchloci brought a bunch of stuff back a couple years back had good success with it cost was about 1/3 of air and it took 30 days to get here. ocean was 3500 and air was over 10,000, but it was a lot of stuff. it has to be mounted stuff though, capes they won't take by ocean. (I tried because of the weight of ele skin)

L. David KeithPreviously, you could only ship completed (mounted) trophies via Ocean cargo. As of last week, Fauna & Flora can accept raw skins, hides, capes and horns via Ocean freight. Air takes around a week to arrive. Ocean takes about 30 days but is shipped in the original crate in water tight containers. This will save you $$ on shipping, so check with John at F&F on shipping raw items via Ocean cargo. LDK

HughiamDavid,
That is good news, I spoke with F&F not 30 days ago and you could only ship finished goods by ocean.
I know how Ill be shipping my skins home in August.
