General Information

A variety of pickled pets 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 and will vary slightly from the items pictured giving your piece 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

All in-stock items are first come first serve. Orders are not officially placed until a payment is received. Prepayment is required on all in-stock items and all made-to-order pieces under $200. A non-refundable 50% down-payment is required on all made-to-order pieces over $200. 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 changes 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 your payment is not received within 2 weeks of notification you will lose your deposit and forfeit your piece. Items are shipped immediately following receipt of the balance owed. 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 8-12 months. Smaller less complex mounts average 4-6 months. Some novelty items may deliver in as little as 6-12 weeks. Rush service may be available under certain circumstances depending on the current number of pieces presently being worked on in the shop. Add an additional 15% for this service. Please pay promptly after receiving your invoice. If other orders are received before your payment arrives it may push delivery back on made-to-order pieces.
