[QUOTE="Ozark Wizard, post: 476573, member: 3652"] Just a suggestion............... If you plan to ship 'raw' untanned hides, make a brine, like a gallon of water with a half cup of pickling salt and a half cup of Alum dissolved in it. Put the hide in a large enough freezer Ziplock bag and add enough solution to totally immerse the hide. Purge all the air out of the bag and seal it. Then put THAT in another Ziplock, and another over that. That should provide a good seal... Put the works in a box just big enough to fit the bag. No movement should be allowed, as it may compromise the seals. Wait for really cold weather along the route the package will take. This is a great time of year for shipping 'heat sensitive' items. I've sent eggs, brined meats, fruits, etc. this time of year with no bad effects and no loss of products. I'm guessing they do not keep parcels temperature controlled unless you pay extra for it. Do a two day ship at the longest. (Two day shipping usually means three days from one hand to the next) Once again, just a suggestion.......... [/QUOTE]
