Shipping cost from SA

[jomw10]

Hi,

My taxidermy is completed, and now moving into the shipping part.
One crate 1.7x1.2x1.2 422kg. All finish taxidermy.
I have two quotes, SBS and Badger they are both about the same ($3,400) via Delta (Johannesburg, Atlanta, Houston).
Any feedback for either of them will be appreciated (SBS or Badger).

On a side question, since the entry point is Atlanta, will I get storage fees while waiting on clearances?

I have used Badger twice now with no problems and good communication from Pieter, Rare Breed, did your buff come in to Atlanta on Turkish? what did they get you for in Africa for all their fees and here Customs, Fish and Wildlife and Agriculture and your importer if I may ask thanks

I had a shipment of finished taxidermy fly on Delta, JNB-ATL-IAH and used Coppersmith. No issues, but the "Flight" from ATL to IAH was actually a truck. If the crate can't fit through the cargo door of the airplane, then it can't fly. Delta apparently doesn't fly the big, wide bodies from ATL to IAH. Not a big deal, just took an extra couple days.

Picking up my crate at Coppersmith was smooth and easy.

Happiness is picking up a crate of trophies........

In August of 2018, my daughter and I did a seven day PG hunt with @Game 4 Africa Safaris. The hunt report for that hunt is: https://www.africahunting.com/threa...orn-slam-x2-with-game-4-africa-safaris.44777/

Fast forward almost a year and the trophies were delivered to IAH and I picked them up yesterday (July 25) and they are hanging on the wall today! Zebra flatskin and shoulder mounts for Eland, Waterbuck, Blue Wildebeest, Bushbuck x2 and Warthog x2

This was the first and only time I had my...

I emailed SBS, sent message on their website and tried calling on cell and whats app. No response. Badger responds.

What was the storage fees for that day?

I just got hit with $190/day in SEATAC waiting on Agriculture for 4 days. So roughly $800 for a 24" cube shaped box. Wasn't that long ago I could rent a 2 bedroom apartment for a month for that.

Have a shipment coming from Zim and being told it will take approximately one week to clear my trophies. there are two kudu and 2 Eland in one crate. In the past it has been one day. I make dangerous goods shipments that clear in a day.
