Was not blaming just stateing how high shipping is and letting you know where i ordered. of cource its ups  so mounts have to go up another 150 bucks to cover shipping. except this one is mine so it comes out of my pocket.

What does it matter where you order  Huh I ordered some stuff for taxidermy ,but not from a taxidermy supply company.UPS ground was the only option for shipping.The package weighs 1.5 lbs and it cost $17.00 to ship.It is what it is  Roll Eyes Let's see my last order from McKenzie cost $50.00 to ship. 5 deer forms and 4 duck forms with eyes and whatnot.Since I include $20 in my price for shipping on every mount.That's $180 for shipping, looks like shipping companies need to raise there prices some more  Grin

I recently shipped a skull to be cleaned.  I checked ups, and usps.  I couldn't believe it when I checked ups, they wanted around $13 for a small 2lb package.  It was only being shipped a few hours away!  usps was barely over five bucks with confirmation.  Ups used to have good prices, now they are just nuts.

This worry's me.  I'm going to be ordering stuff from van dyke's soon.  I'm hoping the shipping isn't going to be outrageous.  Fifty bucks!  That is crazy.

Don't put "taxidermy" in your user name until you are one.
