But the price of shipping pretty much eats up that savings!Sweet shit. And at a fraction of the cost of local taxidermists.
I keep seeing these comments. I have not seen a shipping cost posted that has been close to $10,000 except maybe a handful where people were getting like big full body and half body stuff shipped from countries other than RSA. I had more than $10,000 price difference between bullseye and US quote. I’m expecting a $5,000 shipping bill (actually was told to plan for $4k but I always budget for more cost). That’s still a $5k difference which is not insignificant. I’m having half dozen shoulders and a coupe small animals shipped. It’ll be expensive shipping for sure.But the price of shipping pretty much eats up that savings!
I don't think you're going to save as much as you think you are. Bull's eye Taxidermy is doing my work $5500 for Cape Buffalo Pedestal mount, Nayla wall pedestal, Sable shoulder, Zebra rug, Gemsbok euro, and impala euro, the shipping is going to be $6600 air freight or $3500 by ship. Then $2000 to ship the crate to my home.I keep seeing these comments.

Slightly higher bill from bullseye for me. $6800 there. Maybe I won’t save any money. At least I’ll get my stuff back faster than 3 years though. On the plus side I’ll pick up directly from coopersmiths in DFW so I won’t have that shipping cost.I don't think you're going to save as much as you think you are.

That good enough reason right there to have your work done in SA!Slightly higher bill from bullseye for me. $6800 there. Maybe I won’t save any money.

Jealous you’re getting a Buff pedestal though. Someday I’ll get one.
