I ship pheasants all over the country with UPS. You have to watch how big a box you use or they will stick you with high oversize costs. I use a boxes 22" X 22" X 17" high, I run zip ties over the bases and through the bottom of the box and then fill the box with packing, foam peanuts work the best. I charge $30 shipping to the customer and this usually covers the cost, but should probably be more, and insure for $300.
use DHL if you value the items! DHL has managed to screw up the only two things I sent through them and they have a host of hidden charges. I would go with UPS also.
all of the time and have had one item damaged very minorly (i fixed it and resent) - ups is a nightmare
Thanks everyone for the help,it take a load off of our mines.Thanks again for the help.Have a great day all
