Hi Richard,
Hope you are doing well!
Received my trophies today!! Wanted to say again THANKS so much for all your help! Your staff worked great with Coppersmith to get them through customs, and secure delivery. Going to South Africa next year. Hunting with Thaba Mmoyo safaris. Need a room and would like to meet you. Thanks again Richard.

Good morning Richard!
Just wanted to reach out and let you know that I finally got my crate opened and unpacked. My trophies are up and look amazing on my walls.

I would like to express my thanks and gratitude for all the work you and your team put into getting them to me. It all seems worth it now that they are finally here for me to enjoy.

I also would like to send my apologies to anyone and everyone on your team that I might have gotten “snarky ” with during this whole process. It can be very stressful when you have so much time and money invested in the trophies and having no idea what is happening halfway around the world.

Kudos to you and your team for ALL of your hard work!! Tom was amazed at the crating job! He couldn’t believe your team fit all that into that crate and that it arrived in one piece. (There was one ear kinked by the top, but I was able to fix it. Who knows when and where that happened! ) I am pleased at the overall condition of the trophies. (I could critique the actual taxidermy work but that’s definitely not on you!)

Please extend my gratitude, appreciation and apologies to the entire team at AHG.

I look forward to working with you and the team on the next shipment. I trust that leaving this year’s trophies in your hands that everything will be less stressful and will go a lot smoother. Can’t wait to hear progress in the future. Fingers crossed that everything goes well from here on out!

Kindest regards, your friend,
Brenda

Hello Vanessa, that will be fine. I took a few pictures of my dining / game room , it is a work in progress.  

Thank you, Mike and Penny

All the trophies arrived in excellent order ,Very happy with the services that you provided.

Good Morning Vanessa, 

Yes, the trophies were held up in customs for quite a while ( this cost us about $2400 just in storage) , but we have finally got our trophies home.  After getting them home and opening the crates we love the trophies! They were in perfect condition and just as requested.  We especially love the pedestal mounts. They turned out wonderful!!  Thank you all for jumping through all the hoops at US customs for us to get things approved.  We were a little stressed at times but it was all worth it.  Your company did a wonderful job!!  Thank you!

Regards,

Trese

My AHG experience was exceptional and timely. The shipment arrived exactly as scheduled in excellent condition (except for the quality of the taxidermy. See photo below)  Firstly, their shipping cost estimate was 60% Less ( $1,600 US v. $4,100 US) than the freight forwarder selected by the another taxidermist. When a glitch developed with the originally contracted airline (Delta), AHG made other equally suitable arrangements. My shipment was originally consigned to Baltimore, MD to allow me to walk it through US Fish and Wildlife and US Customs and Border Protection, thus precluding the need to hire an importer at additional expense.  When air transportation required arrival at New York JFK airport, AHG paid all import and transportation expenses to have the consignment shipped directly to my home address in Maryland. 

AHG rates Five Stars in my book.  It would be hard to conceive of any way they could have improved service. This is the second time I have used AHG to ship taxidermy from SA to the US.

Good morning Vanessa,

Yes the shipment made it, and everything was in great condition! 
Thank you so much for all the help and taking care of my trophies.  I must
admit I was worried about potential damage, but everything was great. 
Just got them hung last Saturday.

Again, I appreciate all your help.  If I get to go back to Africa I
will certainly keep you in mind for shipping.  Also, please feel free to
use me as a reference if you would like to.

Thanks,

Mark

Just a quick note to let you know the skulls/hide arrived in good order.

James is talking about maybe going back so don’t be surprised if in the future we end up back in South Africa.

Thanks again for all your help in getting the trophy’s home.
