Forward Air

Forward Air is no longer carrying sport hunted trophies. I was to have a shipment on Ethiopian to IAD and then Forward Air to DFW, but Forward Air is refusing to carry any animal parts or finished Taxidermy. This leaves just Turkish which is screwing folks with storage charges at DFW, I don’t know about other Turkish locations.

And I emailed about unfinished animal parts and that was rejected as they don’t carry animals and animals parts.

I did Turkish to DFW in July. It took several days before my Taxidermy cleared and was moved to the Coppersmith warehouse. But I had zero storage charges, (and did not argue).

Total Coppersmith including > $400 in Customs/USDA fees was $2k, however.

Worldwide Flight Service handles all Turkish Airlines cargo at DFW. They will indeed rip you off on storage charges and anything else they can get you for. They charge a "building maintenance fee" on their rented space! They are total Assholes with a capital A! I had to deal with them last year. I will never ship trophies with Turkish because of them.

The shipper just needs to change the description on the Air waybill.

For instance, if the shipper were to identify the contents as furnishings. It would be acceptable for Forward Air.
