I am shipping some fur and was wondering the best way to box it? Is it OK to fold pelts and is it OK to roll them up? Will compressing them in a box hurt the fur? I imagine it will only be boxed for less than a week. Thanks

Have you ever gotten pelts back from Moyles? Believe me, you can CRAM tanned pelts into a box, and they will be fine.

I ship stretched and dried pelts all over the USA, folded in boxes. Tanned pelts are even more resilient.

I ship tanned pelts packed as tight as possible first in a 1 gallon ziplock bag then in a USPS flat rate box and my customers have never had an issue


Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell
