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?
 
In December I had a Buff, 2 Zebra, a Waterbuck and a Wildebeest shipped for $1,173. Carrier was an outfit call Spherical Freight.
 
Is that thing 72 inches wide? HOLY!!
I'd be looking for another quote for sure.
 
Just had my paltry order shipped by Spherical from Zim too. Just under a grand for 2 skulls with horns and one flat skin. Box was 30" X36" X 11" deep. Well under 100 pounds. I would look around too, thats a lot for one head.
 
Hate to rub in the salt...but I had 6 mounted heads shipped from Sth Africa to Australia air freight in a container measuring 2 metres x 1.5 x 1.o metre for around $2200. I know Sth Af's a bit cheaper but s..t, $1800 sounds exorbitant for a skull mount.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
