Lost trophies crate (from Mozambique) - is anyone else’s crate missing ?

[ActionBob]

Good lord. Who was your importer?

Cindy Rulon, Pro Cargo.

 

[ActionBob]

Yeah, I’ve been a victim of the permit expiring deal.

You mean there are folks who have not? Seems like that would be the more rare situation...

My expirations were mostly caused by Covid, other than that all of my imports have been pretty smooth.

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

Well … back to square one … apparently smoke and mirrors on my crate miraculously reappearing. Now there is no communication yet again from the Mozambique shipper.

I’m sure this is hard to believe and I feel terrible for your problem. This sucks and is also scary! I hope they find it and it gets sorted.

Cindy Rulon, Pro Cargo.

Always heard great things about her. She has handled lots of safaris for customers of mine. I hope they can get it sorted out.

Dang that really sucks. I hope they find your crate soon and get it to you.

Hoping I have better luck with my 2024 Mozambique trophies. They just left the outfitter last week.

I am having issues with good ol Milton as well. He is the owner of Hunter Services Limited. He has my Leopard, Hyena, Buff, Lichentstein H, Waterbuck and Warthog. I have paid him and have all the Cites paperwork but he will not ship or lost it. Who knows! He keeps telling me that it is going out this week and nothing happens. My stuff was dropped with him in April and we went through Cites paperwork which was all ready by July 2024 and it has been story after story since.

This sucks for y’all. Getting me concerned about going back to Mozambique.

Yep that’s the same bullcrap I’ve heard from him for the past 3 plus months. I think someone got all the craps mixed up (I say that since a crate with my name on it made it to Chicago and it wasn’t my stuff in the box). I got an email from him today as a matter of fact saying my airway documents were “coming soon”.

At least the guy hasn’t cutoff communication with you, so there’s still hope.

I had a taxidermist in Wisconsin steal a cackling goose, pair of blue winged teal and a red breasted merganser years ago and I remember how pissed off I was about that. I can’t imagine how bad anyone going through what y’all are going through feels.

The communication is very spotty. He responds to about every 8th email and vaguely at that. Not even sure why at this point.

Making some positive progress it seems. Looks like things have finally been sorted out and have been given a date range for shipping. …I’ve run out of popcorn on this one …

Guys I don't want to give more worries but things are not looking very positive in Moz after election.
So when it comes to shipping and any official documenttaion especially from Government you will need to have patience.

23 December the high Court will announce if the election was free and fair and that could cause more issues.

Yes true, when I arrived in Maputo 4 weeks ago they had just calmed down the riots. I got word of the election upheaval while in camp and I was a little worried about getting out of there

Has the outfitter been involved in trying to help you figure out this mess, or as a liaison between you and the shipper?
