Payments Due:

A nonrefundable 50% deposit is required at the time an order has been placed and your specimen is dropped off. Work will not begin without the required deposit. Remaining open balance is due in full upon notification of completion of work order. A storage fee of 10% per month, prorated, will be assessed for all items left over 30 days.

Unless payment arrangements have been made, it is agreed that any mounts / specimens not paid in full within six months after completion of work order will become, without notice, the sole property of Northwoods Taxidermy LLC. If a credit card has been given for payment, it is agreed Northwoods Taxidermy LLC has the client’s permission to charge any balances due to his/her credit card.

All prices reflect the finest high quality taxidermy work we can possibly provide you. However, there are additional charges that will apply to your order should you choose to upgrade your mounts to include custom bases, detailed design, alterations, open mouth, pedestal mounts, leather backings, custom habitats, etc. Standard simple bases are included in our list prices. Please know these fees will be discussed and agreed upon prior to mounting.
