Shipping Taxidermy to US from Norwich Area

[Burke]

Hello, I have harvested a couple of Roe Deer and the taxidermy has been done in the Norwich (Shipsham) area. The taxidermist and I have tried to get a particular shipping company to respond with a quote, and ship the final trophy to me in Alaska. Neither of has has gotten a response after multiple attempts. Do any of you have experience or knowledge of a shipping company that we could try? With hopefully better luck.
TIA

Hi @Burke, did you mean Shipdham instead of (Shipsham)?

Yes, sorry.

Yes, sorry.

Just 5 miles down the road from me then. I used to live in Shipdham as a child.
Edit; Longest village high street in England I believe...

Yes, 35 + years of doing it.

Any product of this nature needs to arrive in a designated port of entry into the USA. Fish and Wildlife will need to check it before its released. It can then go on to its final destination. The sender will need to find a shipper, I use KG Logistics. If flown by air, it needs to be in a box made from aircraft grade timber. The contents must have full scientific name, common name etc on any paperwork. I have never needed a vet certificate.
Its not cheap these days. I recently sent 3 sets of Red deer and 2 sika deer heads boiled out and cleaned, in a wooden crate. Final cost from my door to New York was in excess of £1500.
Whatever you do, if there are two clients sending their trophies together, put it under one name. Otherwise you will have trouble.

Thanks for the info. I will look into this. The taxidermist is also looking into another shipper...cant remember the name off hand.
