Shipping Information
If
you are unable to drop of your skull, you can ship it to us via 2 day Federal Express. Return shipping costs will be
added to your final cost. If shipping more than one skull, please include a separate shipping form for each skull.
Please try to make sure that your item(s) will reach us within 3 days, especially during warm weather. Try to ship
on Monday to avoid any weekend shipping delays that may occur. Make sure that the item is well frozen and double-wrapped
in newspaper and sealed inside a plastic bag. Check to insure that the item is tightly wrapped and sealed.
1. All skulls must be prepared (hide, eyes, lower jaw,
and brain removed) before shipping.
2. Skull must be well frozen.
3. Double-wrap the skull in newspaper
to absorb any moisture.
4. Place the wrapped skull in multiple, sealed plastic bags in order to prevent any leaks.
5. Place the skull in a Styrofoam container or strong cardboard box. Be sure to use packing material to
secure the skull and prevent any damage that may occur during shipping.
6. Fill out a shipping form for each skull
to be cleaned. Place it in a sealed bag along with the deposit (if necessary). Place the sealed bag in the box
with the skull. The total package weight should not exceed 60 lbs.
7. Write "taxidermy
items" on the outside of the box. Ship it 2 day Federal Express (no signature required) on Monday to ensure that
we will receive it by Friday.
