I looked on their website, but I didn't see a specific price, only that they charge a drumming fee for long haired animals. For those that have shipped there before, how much do they charge? Thanks!

I believe it’s on your last receipt. Should be able to do the math on what they charged.

I think they must charge drumming fees based on a percentage. I have no idea how that percentage is arrived at, who sets it or if it varies.

They charged me $15.91 to drum 28 red fox that I was paid $188.00 for. That was 8.47% of my total.

And Shakeyjake is correct, the numbers will be on your last receipt.


Eh...wot?

Apparently, the amount charged for drumming is determined at the discretion of the FHA. That's why there are no predetermined amounts listed.

Bingo! Depending on animal it has been 75 cents to maybe 2 bucks per pelt.

I think it is a per pelt charge based on the species - at least it used to be that way. It cost more to drum a coyote than it did a marten.

I will see if I can find a current chart.

I was charged $8.35 last year for the drumming of 15 fisher, a lynx and some coyotes.

Just checked my last sale and mine was .57 for marten. Must not be doing different charge per species anymore? Appears to be lower than in the past too.

Hard to charge 2 dollars on a 4 dollar item
