What is the estimated Volumetric weight? That will allow a proper comparison.

That seems fair. I had 11 shoulder mounts, 1 zebra rug and 2 European mounts shipped from Port Elizabeth to my door in Nebraska for $2600. This includes the broker fees in RSA and USA.

I just paid $1200 for a Kudu shoulder, 2 impala shoulders, warthog euro, zebra rug, couple pillows, some backskins, and a large (4'x5'x3") wood carving. JOburg to O'Hare/Chicago.

your crate being quite a bit larger sounds about right.

That sounds like a fair number for a pickup truck size box with that amount of contents. I've had four shipments, all fit in the back of a full size pickup bed and they ran from 1800 to 2400, sans broker fees, Joburg/Atlanta/Philadelphia, PA.

seems to be not to bad but I would never just get one quote. Get 1 or 2 more and then you will see if your good or not.

With out a doubt I would get other quotes if he owns the place. You will know if it is a fair prices after getting another quote or 2. Never hurts to get extra quotes. Unless freight went up some since my last crate your crate at 5'x 4' maybe on the high side knowing that info. May not be a lot of saving out there to get but seems about 200.00 high going by my last crate. I could be wrong but it will take you one email to get another quotes
