Last Secret Santa and change in Shipping

:iconcabinetcuriosities:

Hey folks!

Sadly 2018 was the last year that we participated in the Taxidermy Secret Santa.
It has various reasons but the declining community and new shipping prices are the main reasons.
We always had so much fun and got so lovely things from you :heart:

Unfortunately the time of shipping something at low cost is over. Since the 1st January of 2019 sending anything within the EU will at least cost 9€. Outside the EU it is 16€.
And this is the basic cost. Today I sent a seriously small skull for 9€ to the Netherlands. The whole package had 200g of weight.

It is absolutely ridiculous.
You can still sent letters and such for the low cost but nothing which is not a document.
:(
I know it has been like this for many people in Australia and America already but it is new to us.

Usually we sent quite a few packages for Secret Santa. But now even sending a feather and a piece of chocolate is 9€ for shipping at least! And getting this stuff to the US is 16€!
But that's nothing I or we can afford in the future anymore.
Sorry :(

So please be aware that buying from us will be more expensive now due to shipping fees.

Best,
Lara

I had no idea this had come in....I wonder if it's anything to do with the Brits voting to leave the EU? (Brexit)?
I can't find anything in the news about it.
I can see why it's made it prohibitive to send small things. Stupid prices for such light parcels!

I fear it is just the post service trying to compensate rivalry :(

I noticed an increase in price this year too but not as much as you ;w; You'd think with the increased demand for posting packages due to Amazon and online purchases the price would go down due to the economy of scale :/

I fear they try to add prices to stand rivalry from Asia and such.
Besides people send as much as never before but still the post service increases prices and decreases service.. :(

I agree, shipping has been brutal!! It takes the fun out of the SS for sure.
On another note, do you guys have any skulls for sale right now? Obviously I would pay the shipping as well.

thanks!

Same here, prices increased a lot. Now it's 12,30 € for a -500gr package within EU...

9€ for everything under 500g, without tracking.
15€ if you want tracking :( Even if you just send a quail egg.

Chaos with Notes and CommentsHey!
It was a bit difficult for me to keep up last year due to personal life.
Whilst going through notes and such I noticed sooo many old ones.
Since I totally lost count and some are not trackable any more I will remove all of them.
If you question was lost - I am deeply sorry! Just ask again :) I will answer this time!
Best,
Lara
Selling Original ArtHey folks!
Some of you already know that I am also an illustrator/artist.
I am trying to clear/minimalize my portfolio atm and thus I have some art for sale.

I'd be very happy if you'd drop by and take a look.
Thanks :)
No worldwide Shipping. PLEASE READHey folks!
I am sorry to bring this to you but we will set a deadline to our worldwide shipping.
After May 2019 we will no longer ship outside the EU.
The prices are simply ridiculous, the customs are getting worse and tracking is far too expensive (and packages get lost or damaged).
We always tried to get your purchased stuff to you safe and sound (and most of the time it worked just fine!) but it is unnerving by now.
Plus more and more people get into collecting but also seem to forget the laws. Therefore we can't trust people knowing about their laws and we don't feel comfortable with giving advice on laws which are not the laws of our country. Sorry :(
There will be plenty of stuff available the next weeks so if you are interested in purchasing something do it now.
This whole decision will also affect trades and requests.
If you are interested in getting a few european specimen, we might be able to find for you, ask for them soon.
You might also want to ask "Why

Rules
Post up a journal with 10 things you'd like for Christmas. We suggest at least 5 of these be taxidermy relatedMake sure to try and send other people gifts, even just sending card is nice!Asking for non-taxidermy items is fine, but if you don't want any this might be the wrong SS for you.Please include your address on the journal or a way for people to contact you to get your address to send the gift.
I thought about not joining this year but since it is always fun and since I definitely can use some fun right now... here it is ;)
And yes "I" is actually a "WE" since we are two persons running this account :) If you want to send something to both of us it is still the same address.
We open the packages on Christmas together. Just label what is meant for whom! :)

Searching for Fish ItemsHey folks.
I am searching for fish items:
- skulls
- scales (especially gar or arapaima - or anything else which is a bit more solid)
- jaws
- teeth
- and other amazing stuff
Please no:
- raw things
- wet specimen (unless it is a species of eel)
If it is teeth and such I'd like to fill bottles with it so they should be bigger than 10mm.
I can trade against other oddities or buy (depending on the price ofc)
:)
Small InformationThis account is not fully dead.
I just don't have much time or strength at the moment.
Everything just went worse and I am struggling to keep my head up.
Although I am collecting like a madman (and enjoying it, thank god) I can't bring myself to take new proper photos or treat this account and all of you as well as you deserve.
There might be day where I get up in the morning and feel well again. We'll see.
To break free from all the shit I will be gone to Norway soon.
Restoring my battery a bit.
So far:
Goodbye.

Searching a few thingsHey folks!
I am searching a few skulls to downsize my wishlist :) Tried to pick realistic ones. I'd prefer trading (wet specimen, natural oddities, skulls...) but buying might be an option too (depending on the price).
Here is the list:
Grey fox
Hedgehog FOUND!
Meerkat
Armadillo
Baby fox (with the full set of baby teeth - not changing)
Wallaby
Skunk FOUND! A lovely birthday present <3
Peccary
Grey Heron
Smooth-Billed Ani
Constrictor Snake (7-10cm, species not important) FOUND!
There are some super ordinary skulls on there and some more unusual. I am looking for good quality skulls.
Location is GERMANY - please keep that in mind. Although I can ship worldwide there are some countries without the freedom to do so.
