I'm interested in hearing opinions from anyone who has used USA Foxx to have fur products made from their furs. What did you think of their fur products and customer service? Am thinking of sending some furs their to have some things made. Thank You!

I have had good luck with them. Had a hat made and a number of furs tanned. They have done good for me.

Thank You for the reply! Was it recently that you had the work done by them?

A few years back on here you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting someone that was VERY upset with them.I never dealt with them and won't because of this.

Yep!
Especially with at least six other reputable Tanneries that many of us have used as well as about half a dozen other places that make products with our fur.

I live in Duluth and have used USAFOXX for numerous hats and beaver choppers and my buddy had a beaver blanket made with coyote trim. Their workmanship is absolutely excellent. I think most of the problems were as a result of the previous owner having very poor quality control of fur as it came in and I don't think he cared. He lost a bundle of my fur and some I didn't get back so he just traded me some of his fur instead, which I was not happy about but I knew I wasn't ever getting my own fur back. If it wasn't for the new owners I would have reservations but the two brothers who bought the business are doing a excellent job and I am about ready to have them make me another beaver hat.

edit I don't think they tan anything in house, it's all sent out to various tanneries. I've had them send some out to tanneries and I've also brought in my tanned fur that I had tanned at Moyles in Idaho. The advantage for me is if I just drive to their store, I don't have to pay shipping charges both ways sending to a tannery myself.

It would be best if you checked out who owns and operates the company now and who owned it years ago. To give a bad rap to someone that had nothing to do with the problems ,just isn't right. Stop and think,if it was your business would you want to suffer for what someone else did--years ago?

They did good for me. Maybe a bit slow, but, excellent work, that's held up for work.

Don't listen to know it alls that heard this and that, but have no first hand experience.

The latest was just a year or two ago. The first time was probably 25 years ago I sent some muskrats to them to have something made for my mom. Then probably five years ago my son had a hat made and then I've just sent random hides to them to be tanned.

I have had excellent results with them. Don't have a lot of things made but have used them over a good many years and have never had any problems. I have also sent folks that have bought fur from me to have tanned and to the best of my knowledge all have been very satisfied.

USA FOXX always put out a good finished product. However, Wayne's crew did a terrible job keeping people's fur straight.

I hope they've changed under the new regime. Buyer beware.

years ago they did a good job on a #5 mountain man hat for me. i sent several people to them along with furs to have similar hats made. i cant say i would recommend any more. after an extremely long (longer than they said it would be) time, the finished product was at best inferior. unacceptable. and a bad attitude on the phone when questioned about why.

I dont know who Wayne is but the badger I sent was valuable on the fur market. I suspect it was sold. Either after it was turned into a hat to be peddled at a "mountain man rendezvous" or something, or put in the fur pipeline. Good badgers always have value even when nothing else does.

If honest people own that company now I have to wonder how they got mixed up with the crooks. Birds of a feather flock together. I don't flock with that sort.

Danny, I can't tell you how many times I've heard your story. For me, it was coal black beaver I caught through the ice...several of them. I got back reddish brown junk. That was it for me...never again!

I'm sure it helped Wayne buy a fancy new watch or gold ring.
