SHIPPING. All artwork, bones and teeth are insured and shipped out of either our Virginia prep lab, or our new facility in Chicago (PP& A. FOB Origin). For art, smaller bones and teeth, and mid-sized specimens with thin processes or long, fragile sections, we primarily use USPS Priority Mail.

Larger, heavier bones are shipped using various land/sea freight companies. We carefully package and insure all items for shipping, and can provide tracking information. In most cases, rush delivery is available upon request. All international customers are responsible for paying any duties/taxes required by their country.

How shipping costs are calculated. We determine shipping costs and applicable sales tax at the time of sale because items will ship directly from either the prep lab or the artist, causing shipping costs, taxes and delivery times to vary.  Commissioned works will have all shipping and handling costs and taxes provided in the commission contract.
