Taxidermy Crate Delivered!

[Rare Breed]

After 15 months I received my crate from Kuche Safaris in South Africa. It was my first trip to Africa and I'm very pleased with everything. Good communication from the shipper and the Kuche team on the status of my trophies. The quality of the trophies exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. I understand there are premium taxidermists that charge a premium price. I would likely use Kuche again. I live in central OK and there are LOTS of hunters and fisherman who know good taxidermy. They've all been impressed.

I’ll be hunting with them too and was wondering about their taxidermy, glad to hear a good review!

I just met Koos and Cobus at the Houston Safari Club show and they seem great and I’ve gotten other good reviews so that’s all reassuring it’ll be a great experience.

@jsskaggs is it safe to assume the 1150$ fee in HOU included trucking to OKC?

Correct.

Super cool, I will check that out. Thanks!!

I paid the S. African shipping Co $1200 and the Houston Customs agent $1150. Mine was shipped by boat so all theses prices are from Oct/Nov. It was shipped to my office in OKC. Poster was done at canvasondemand.com. BOOMER!

Were you satisfied with the “shipping by boat” process and cost? We I’ll have two crates being shipped sometime in the next 4-5 months and due to their size this is the direction we are thinking of using. Most of what I hear is that most if not all of the initial savings is taken up with storage and handling fees once the crate hits the port.
Since you have recently gone through this shipping by boat process could you give your experience with it?
Greatly appreciated,NMEH
