I'm shipping a whitetail shoulder mount cape this next week and right now it's frozen in a plastic bag. Can I let it thaw and dry before shipping? Or how can I ship it frozen? Who ships things refrigerated? Any packing/shipping advice would be helpful. Thanks!

you didn't mention tanned cape so I'm going to go ahead and assume you're shipping a frozen green cape. My advice is to insulate it well, I use styrofoam boxes that you get Salmon in from Alaska but they're available at many hospitals and medical supply companies for the asking. Wrap it in a couple/few inches of paper and send it "second day"........you should be fine. I believe the cost of refrigerated shipping in probably exorbinant and unnecassary.
Actually, it's been tanned. Oh well thanks for the advice, I'll do that. I just thought it would be easier and lighter to send them thawed and dry.
just hang it up and let it dry out.
if it is tanned it will rehidrate right back up.
