Cost of Shipping Crate from RSA for those interested.

[migrabill]

Just got my email from Safari Cargo Solutions saying my crate(s) are ready to ship and requesting payment. There are 2 crates (one with my buddies trophies and one with mine). All work was dip and pack - no finished product. My crate contains 2 zebras, a kudu, an Impala, a red Hartebeest, a warthog, a blesbok, 2 Wildebeests (1 blue - 1 golden). My buddy's crate contains a Cape Buffalo, a zebra, a warthog, a golden wildebeest, and a bush pig. Total cost of both crates via Air from JSA to JFK is $3,520.51. We are splitting it, so $1760 each. I gotta say - it's a tad cheaper than what I was expecting.

We need the measurements of the crates to actually see what they are charging. Even with as well as they pack and shoehorn the hides, skulls, and horns into a crate for just dip and pack there are a lot of variables in the sizes.

That’s in the shipping range I’d expect lately. It’s the final clearing in the US that’s been a bigger unknown. Your buddy’s bushpig and warthog may add some extra time to shipment. I’d suspect you’ll get yours first.

That’s a very fair price.

Just wait till I post about the bad shipping experience I’m going through right now getting my Cameroon trophies home. I’m waiting to have them in my possession before posting.
