I generally ship beaver from Alaska to Moyles for about $5 per hide. Flesh then salt heavily then as they dry roll them up tight in a ball. Stuff/cram/jam into a flat rate box even as they are still a bit flexible. Tape the box for blowouts as needed lol. You should be able to fit 4 xl to blkt beaver in a large flat rate box this way. The flat 'game' box shape may work better than the square type box. A friend of mine ships his dried beaver rolled and he also mentioned the $5 per pelt so his way must work as well. The other thing is that I'm really looking at with Moyles is getting a minimum of 8 skins of a given species for the price break, with 21 pelts being the big break. Not gonna happen with wolverine lol but rats, beaver, etc no problem.

USPS large flat rate box is $23.00 I believe. Salted and rolled tight should be able to get at least 4 in large USPS flat rate box.

Or....use pirateship.com
Sounds like a scam but it is completely legit. Huge discounts on UPS shipping especially with oversize packages. It is how I ship whole frozen coyotes and fox across the country.
I usually ship packages for $40-$60 that UPS would charge $200+ for
You just go on there and put in the dimensions of the box and the weight of the package, print the label, tape the label on the box, drop off at UPS store Just used pirateship.com, pretty easy. Saved about 50%.

Several years ago, I shipped a quite large brown bear to New Method tannery. I was barley able to cram it into a dishwasher box. I live in Juneau, Alaska. No roads out, so shipping is air or sea. Air freight would have been over $500.00, so it went by barge. It was still nearly $300.00, and took nearly 3 weeks to get there.
Just doing what I want now.

Thanks for all the feedback guys; after checking it all out it seems Pirate Ship is my cheapest, best option to save me considerably. Yep, just shipped two whole frozen fox 2 day across the country for $60. Would have been $250+ if I would have went straight through UPS. Pirate ship is the way to go

I checked Tubari and they were more expensive than Moyles. I did just make my shipment of 4 dried, rolled up beaver, in a 40 inch, 8x8 inch box, and total weighed 7 lbs. I used Pirate Ship (UPS) and the cost to ship it from Int'l. Falls, Mn. to Moyles was $18.00. That was the best deal I could come up with and am not disappointed. Not bad at all, definitely saved yourself some money
