Beaver Castor

[trapper01]

How do you ship beaver castor to NAFA? I think I read somewhere that you can ship them in a paper bag? Do you mark the number of castors or weight on the shipping tag?? Thanks.

I have shipped it---hang and let it dry first. It can then be shipped in plastic bag inside a box. They usually have one sale a year for castor. thanks

Pretty much the same for me. I do use paper or cloth instead of plastic bags sometimes, but have no preference. Whatever is available.
If I'm packing the bag to go with a shipment of pelts I wrap the castors in paper towel before stuffing them in the bag/bags.

I use NAFA shipping tags, available free upon request. On them I estimate the weight of castor never count. I would add that I know people who ship them with no count or weight and have no problems.
