Well was pleasantly surprised when African Trophy Exports emailed and said my crate from African Wildlife Artistry had arrived when th them. Thought I would provide some info on this transaction.
ATE is a supporter here and I will be honest has some stellar reviews and some that are down right scary.
A little back story, first trip to Africa complete and of course this is first time shipping trophies. Please see my hunt report with Nick Bowker Hunting. This hunt was so good I am going again with Nick in May. He recommended African Wildlife Artistry and they use ATE.
AWA I feel was a little lax in communication, they picked up the animals and I had to reach out to them to confirm pick up. The only reason I knew was another hunter at camp said they had their animals. I reached out via email and confirmed the pick up and paid. I will update quality after I receive the mounts. Sable, kudu, water buck, zebra, hartebeest, Nyla.
The owner or manager of trophy shippers posted on here taking active role and aware of issues that would be rectified. That statement was good enough for me so giving them a shot and needless to say will impact my plans for May.
That said my quote for a volume of 107.14 and 26 k insurance came to 1707. To DFW.
I live OkC so this works for me. Friday was their email and I replied Sat with a couple questions so awaiting the answer. I plan to update this post as we progress. Hopefully helps other people here.
