There are several federal requirements, that must be observed if you plan to ship your bird to my studio. All migratory birds such as ducks, geese, dove and woodcock must have the hunter's full name, address and date of kill. This information must accompany your birds.
Always ship out on Mondays or Tuesdays by UPS or FEDEX 2nd Day Air or Next Day Air to insure no weekend layovers. I will notify you by phone or email that your bird has arrived.
Place your bird in double plastic bags and keep frozen until shipping. When shipping place your plastic bagged bird into a small box of loose newspaper to both insulate and protect the bird during shipment. Please download a Federal Waterfowl Tag and fill out correctly and completely. Please print out this tag and send it with your birds. Please complete one copy for each bird shipped.
** Please Note - I cannot, and will not, accept any bird I receive without a Federal tag!! **
Return Shipping
I will secure your trophy in secure crushproof box reinforced with wood framing and provide a very safe method of shipping. You are only charged exact shipping and boxing costs. Shipping costs vary depending on your location and box charges will vary based on the size of the mount. I do require a 50% deposit. I will mount your bird to your specific request. When it is ready, I will photograph the piece and send you a copy via email. At that time, I will inform you of actual boxing and shipping charges and will send the bird upon completion of payment in full.
