SOUTH AFRICA: Kuche Safaris - Free State - August 2024

Ok, I used Tom Kelly with trophy shippers last time as the importer but eagle eye was the exporter.
 
Five shoulder mounts and four sculls from my hunt with Kuche in August of 2022
This is what I'm talking about. The young lady I mentioned hunted summer of 2023 and her crate arrived before yours. Makes no sense!
 
Could you walk me through the costs you incurred throughout the export, shipping, import, storage, etc. process? I'd like to prep my group on what to expect.

Here are the specifics on my crate:

Dimensions: 160 x 113 x 105 CM
Actual Weight: 144.0 KGS
Volumetric Weight: 316.0 KGS

Shipping quotes were $3,500 for air and $1,800 by sea. I chose sea.

Total fees from the importer including freight shipping from Houston to NE Oklahoma was $1,624.

Thanks!
 

Meant to mention, when I got my invoice from the importer it stated they would start charging storage after 5 days. I paid the invoice the day they sent it. It took them 2 1/2 weeks to to get my crate out of the port after I paid. They never attempted to charge me a storage fee.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
