General Information
A variety of preserved specimens and accessories are kept in stock, but all taxidermy mounts are custom made per request to the buyer’s specifications. Therefore there are no pre-made taxidermy mounts available for immediate delivery. Each mount is a one-of-a-kind piece of art, not a clone of the item pictured. Each piece has a character and personality unique to itself. The price of your selected piece may differ slightly from the price listed depending on availability of materials and/or any special modifications you request. All Custom Creature creations are professionally prepared by a licensed taxidermist using modern taxidermy techniques and safe state-of-the-art chemical products, thus insuring a quality mount that will remain well preserved for decades to come.
Ordering
Prepayment is required on all pieces under $300. A 50% down-payment is required on pieces over $300. Please pay promptly after receiving the invoice for your deposit so your delivery estimate can be honored. Orders are not officially placed until a payment is received. If other orders are received before your payment arrives it may push delivery back on made-to-order pieces. Deposits are non-refundable but transferable in the event you decide you would prefer a different piece. Changes can only be made if work has not already begun on your order. (Please note that changing your order may effect your delivery date) The remaining balance is due following the completion of your order. You have 2 weeks to remit the balance owed after being notified that your piece is finished. If you do not pay the balance within 2 weeks of notification you will lose your deposit and forfeit your piece. All sales are final.
Delivery Time
All in-stock items are shipped upon receipt of payment once payment clears. Delivery schedules for made-to-order items are determined by the number of orders ahead of yours. In general larger more complex mounts average 6-10 months. Smaller less complex mounts average 2-5 months. Some novelty items may deliver in as little as 4-6 weeks. Rush service may be available depending on the current number of pieces presently being worked on in the shop. Add an additional 15% for this service.

Special Note
None of the animals used in Custom Creature creations were killed for the purpose of using them in these projects.
