For you guys that have went through them,,, how fast was the turnaround and did you get a good decent product back?
Thinking about sending them a batch of beaver. Think it might be cheaper to ship to Iowa instead of Idaho where moyles is.I’ve dealt with moyles and they have done fantastic work,, just trying to save some $$$$$$

Sleepy Creek does great work. They just added to tannery. Turn around will depend on what you sent and how many are in process of tanning in house.

Might be cheaper to just drive it there. What I'm going to do this year, anyhow, but I have a cheap running econo car.

I'm a fan of Sleepy Creek Tannery. If you call them, they will answer the phone and answer any questions you have (and they'll even speak English).

I sent 6 beaver and a coyote Jan 30th using Speedee and cost me $23. Delivery was next day and the called me to confirm that they got my hides. They said they will be done May sometime. This is my third year using them.


It is more blessed to give than to receive

I’ve used them 3 or 4 times and have been happy. Last time a couple years ago it took about six months. I don’t ask how long it takes anymore. I get it when I get it

I've always been very happy with them. You'll have to call to see current turnaround times. SpeeDee will get them there fast and cheap from you.

I sure don't have any complaints with the work Sleepy Creek has done for me. Great people to work with.

Have used them for many years, always great experience and top notch tanning. I’ll be sending them more here soon.

I have had nice work done in a timely fashion on most fur. Nice folks to deal with. I would use them again for sure but NOT for bear hides.

How close do you live that it's cheaper than sending it SpeeDee which is less than $20 to ship and it arrives the next day?
