Mckenzie Update

James Taxidermy supply in Corinth Ms has deer forms made to order. Took about 3 days to get it in the mail from the day it was ordered. Fit great. Also about 30 dollars less per form than McKenzie.

 

Yeah mackenzie is a pain right now, I had 5 deer forms I needed to order from them, got 2 in a couple days been waiting about a month for the other 3.

 

I literally just got off the phone with them, no wait time . Very nice , said they are almost caught up with forms and are shipping things out . The rumor that girls are quitting because of mean ass people on the phone is just that , a rumor, not sayings the person that posted that wasn’t told that by the PA people but it not true . She said she had ask her manager and was told everyone one is still working, most from home but working . Also said 95% of the people are great , only 5 % are a little hard around the edges . But most things are coming back in stock .

 

Thanks for that report 13 point. When I called a couple weeks ago I was on hold maybe three to five minutes, not the long wait time some have indicated on here. I only buy from them when I can't get something anywhere else but I'm not going to give their order takers hell for back orders. It isn't their fault if they are out of stock on some items. They just answer the phone.

 

Hey, on a different subject I love the picture of your golden ! But I have to tell you I have always had Labs and I got a Golden a couple of years ago- well she's a great dog but she is the quirkiest/scariest dog I have ever had !!!

 

Thanks Drob! We have had goldens for over forty years. Currently two own us. They aren't just pretty, they are obedience and field trained with many titles in the ring and field. Great dogs. We want to get more but with my wife's failing health I'm not sure that is going to happen. My dog, Powderhorn-n-Riverrun Georgia Peach CD, RA, CGC, JH, CCA, WC

My wife's dog's list is twice as long as mine because she was really into obedience in the ring for years.

 

Love it ! Just amazing !

 

Ken at James Taxidermy Supply is a good dude.

 

I called Mckenzie last wed. afternoon, only sat on the phone for less than 10 min. placed my order and still had it the next day by spee-de. The forms and eyes I wanted were in stock. No problem this time.

 

Just placed a $4,000 order only issue some items not available anymore

 

Still waiting on 4 lifesize mountain lions and a few shoulder forms from an order made a month ago.

 

I’m still waiting on a couple deer forms and 5 other pcs from a month ago but here’s the kicker I called to check on them the other day as stated above , girl was very nice told me everything was in stock and it was being shipped next day , so I said I needed another deer form and ordered it , ask if it could be put in with other forms she said other stuff was boxed and ready to ship . so I said ok , well the single deer form came today and that’s it . I called back today told her the new order came today and the stuff she said was boxed and on its way didn’t and now it can’t be found in the system of even being boxed . So that form I didn’t need right away cost me $40 to ship from PA to Md could have been put in with the original back ordered stuff for one and if everything is in stock like she told me then we all should be getting out back order stuff like NOW . I’m not mad yet and I won’t take it out on the girl on phone but , here soon the manager on duty will be getting an ear full .

 

I ordered two blanks the other week. It was Monday. I asked if everything was in stock and was told they all we in NC and would ship that day. Thursdays rolls around and I call in regards to the order. “ only one was ready to go and others needed to be poured” is what I was told 3 days later. Blanks did show up the following Friday. All damaged, heads snapped off , caudel pedicles busted up, and the fins for one were not even cast completely.
McKenzie is owned by stock holders now a days.
Speaking to the rep at the McKenzie booth he said people have left in droves.
Anytime I’ve called in the last few months the average wait time have been 40ish minutes

 

McKenzie was purchased in March of 2012 by
Levine Leichtman Capital Partners

 

Interesting! So do we have here a liberal anti gun, animal rights owners of the largest taxidermy supply company ? A business that survives on dead animals provided by the evil gun ?Whose partners donate to these anti groups , knowingly or unknowingly cutting there own throat.
I always said the Jews were the smartest business people in the country as none of them were in taxidermy but maybe they are ?

 

Mudbat, you are wrong with your statement that McKenzie is owned by stockholders. LLCP does not trade on the stock market, has no ticker symbol and is a privately held company. LLCP is the money behind McKenzie's buyout spree of many taxidermy supply companies. LLCP has no interest in taxidermy other than the money and profit made by the monopoly it has created. They control every aspect of material purchasing and supply production of McKenzie, hence all the recent issues with the company. McKenzie is just a small portion of LLCP's current portfolio of companies it controls. The complete failure of the Biden administration's war against oil has caused issues with every sector that relies on the by products of petroleum. Resins, plastic's, paint, foam, epoxy, certain chemicals, make up, glues etc., etc., etc., along with the cost to deliver and ship those products for order production and delivery to the customers. LLCP's only interest is to make money and will shift it's priorities and focus within it's holding portfolio to maximize profit. Unfortunately, to LLCP, taxidermy supply has taken a back seat to other sectors that are far less effected by the direction the Biden administration is taking on oil, and many of the other senseless choices he has made. McKensie unfortunately is no longer in the drivers seat of this bus, LLCP has removed the two front wheels, and ass whole Biden won't fill up our gas tank.
