I'm trying to figure out what to do about taxidermy for an upcoming African hunting trip. I'm definitely going to have the taxidermy work done in the States. Does anyone have an idea what these fees would be for 2 finished shoulder mounts, a zebra rug and a euro warthog? I see lots of great work here but I don't know how much it would cost to get the finished product to me.

Thanks,
Dave

What are the two shoulder mounts?

Sorry. Hopefully, they will be kudu and oyrx.

You never know what the freight is going to be until you get a quote, but , just a guess comparing to crates we have shipped in the last couple of months, I would say crate and freight would be approx 500.00 -750.00 from Texas to PA. Mind you that is just a guess.

Jerry,

Thanks for the help.

If the price of oil dose not go through the roof it should stay good. I ship out freight with a 65% discount to all my clients by a certain national carrier and that adds up to a major saving. I recently shipped 2 elk to N.H. and it only cost them 485.00 divided by 2. So yours will be much less. And I just shipped out a lifesize brownie to PA and it cost $486.00 but that was a BIG , heavy crate. You will ship your 2 trophies in one box and you can also ship the kudu without its horns on-you put them on - and save much more, or not and still save. It's all about finding the best deal on shipping with great service--the people, insurance and delivery time. But it all depends on the weight of the crate. All my crates are made out of 7/16 wafer with a solid wood frame and padded cross bars. Years of experience is well worth it. But first you need to harvest them. Good Luck

be VERY careful. 3 years ago i gad a customs broker in San Francisco who wanted to charge me $600 to forward ship a crate from SFO to Fresno( 180 miles). called a local shipping company and they drove from here to SFO and back, then delivered it for $180. if the estimate you get seems hugh, CHECK AROUND YOURSELF. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE CRATING COST BUT YOU SURE CAN CHANGE THE SHIPPING COST
