Recent shipping prices

Finally received some pics of my shoulder mounts from Bullseye Taxidermy and my shipping quote from the exporter. My crate contains 5 shoulder mounts and 5 euro mounts including the Cape Buffalo euro and full skin rugs for Zebra, Wildebeest and Impala, along with the full hide of my Buffalo tanned for leather goods.

The actual airfreight doesn’t seem too bad for a 4’x4’x3’ 300 pound crate, it’s all of the freakin add ons.
The taxidermy looks great! Waiting to see the sable and black impala without the black background.
 
So here’s the total with all fees. $4689. Shipped from Port Elizabeth SA to Atlanta Ga where I picked it up at Coppersmith’s warehouse. Here’s pictures of them in my house. Bobcat was already there

I got my quote from Eagle Eye Exporters for ~$2100. That's for a Pedestal Kudu mount and a Nayala shoulder mount.
Crates 1
Dimensions: 141 x 59 x 116 CM
Actual Weight: 75.0 KGS
Volumetric Weight: 161.0 KGS

Than an additional 1K to D&L for importing and airfare to O'hare international.
so roughly $3100 total.
 
1400 from joburg to jfk for skulls and capes. Only a zebra rug was finished over there. Then around 1100 to clear. I did save a pile of money and picked the trophies up from jfk and delivered to my taxidermist.
 
I had a crate shipped from Namibia to DFW earlier this year. Volumetric weight was 50 kg (.483 cubic meters). Yellow Shark Logistics (which was a sponsor here) handled it for $1776. The crate was shipped via Ethiopian Airlines.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
