i agree they provide good service but there is always room for improvement

Them receiving your furs is only the start of the process. If you value your furs being graded and lotted properly you will develop a little more patience with the process.

One of you “complainers” needs to invent a machine to grade and lot fur. Every one of the pelts in this auction is handled by a human several times. Each otter and bobcat CITES tag has to be recorded and double checked. One misplaced number can delay the entire shipment.

Back in April the FH depot in Wisconsin posted on Tman that they were looking for help to get the shipment ready to go. How many of you volunteered to help them out??

Lots of factors go into getting ready for an auction. Don’t be too hasty to criticize.

Another auction same posts . LOL Groundhog Day on Trapperman

hold more sales if they cant handle the volume in 2 sales adding i more sale would cut the workload by 1/3.

Some believe that the fur is shipped and gone to NB the night of last receiving day…….lol. Do they think FedEx just blitzes across the international border with the fur? Are they supposed to scan one fur at a time once it’s graded and lotted and update Billy’s account to appease the whiny little baby?…….lol.
There's a lot of things that happen before the accounts are updated. Some people forget that they’re trappers with full time jobs. They also let people know that they were looking for help……not too many raised their hands.


Every dam time……..
If it’s a new shipper, fine, there’s a steep learning curve……but a lot of repeat whiners. Need a job or something to do.

Bring them more fur so the buyers flying in from the other side of the planet can buy more that $100000 with of fur.

Another way to look at it is . Having three instead of two increases the work load by fifty per cent. G.

...thats what i posted about more fur but it seems they cant handle the fur coming in now what would they do with more?...most buyers dont fly half way around planet...fur brokers handle most of it...i ship through brokers all the time a zoom call with the buyer gets the buyer what he wants

The auction room was full of chinamen and koreans last sale-even more visa requests for this sale.
The small amounts of fur compared to back in the day is no problem,They need porters to work with all the buyers coming in.

....thats what i heard also i guess in the grading room most where taking photos and sending them back to the real buyers. but thats great news that there will be more buyers at this sale. thats always a good thing.hoping everyone has a great sale!

Slow your roll big rigs. Groundhog day , complainers yet you're here complaining about the complaining. Lol. I had no know idea setting for a fur auction was so involved must be different from a farm auction or let's say a rare collection auction of comic books and rare coins.

OK, so what do the porters do?

I have this image of four husky men with poles on their shoulders transporting Chinese buyers around the auction house on a fancy litter.

What does T&S mean? Fair amount of mink have it in description

ticks and scars

Porters assist the buyers by taking the samples off the racks, position them so the buyer can inspect the goods and rehangs the bundle and does that again over and over and over.

A good porter will keep the bundles moving at a steady pace so the buyer can maximum his time.

Aha. Thanks Nancy!
