    Scott,same guy, not sure about sharing fences but he's very close. There was also a post on this forum about a year ago I think about Impala Safaris that wasn't very positive.

    Illegal Land Seizures and Arnold Payne

    Ken Drummond is a hated man in Zim. I would never consider booking with him or any of his partners.

    Shipping trophies from South Africa - Do not use Dip-Pack LTD

    Spike, Nobody is getting back to him! What is he supposed to do? He paid for a service and didn't get the finished product! I have to agree, it sounds like you and James are shifting blame. He paid a lot of money and didn't get what he paid for. In what other business would this happen...

    Shipping trophies from South Africa - Do not use Dip-Pack LTD

    James, I should also add, when you're dealing with professional taxidermists and shipping agents, why should you have to go to the extent of specifying wood thickness etc. for crates?

    Shipping trophies from South Africa - Do not use Dip-Pack LTD

    Shipping trophies from South Africa - Do not use Dip-Pack LTD

    Bottom line is that the guy paid to have his hide prepared AND delivered to the US. That didn't happen so why should he have to pay? He didn't receive the product. If I buy a TV from the furniture store and pay to have it delivered, and it's broken or stolen on the way, guess what.....I'm...

    Shipping trophies from South Africa - Do not use Dip-Pack LTD

    Well, I used Dip Pack last year and I would second this. Total screw up with the shipping and unwilling to accept responsibility. As a matter of fact they tried to shift the blame back to me. I also used Big Buck and there were some issues (ie damages upon delivery) but they quickly offered...

    Shipping costs from Zimbabwe

    I just got a price on shipping a cape buffalo skull from Zimbabwe......$1800. Anybody else got any recent shipping quotes from Zim, and if so, do they sound ridiculous?
