Sending us a skin?
Follow these 3 easy steps
Get the skin into a bag as soon as possible once it is off the animal. For details see Skin Preparation
Once frozen, forward it to us. Double bag the skin to ensure it doesn’t leak on transit. Depending on the size of the skin either place it in a courier bag for 1-2 days delivery or place in a plastic box that can be sealed and send via a freight company. Please courier at the beginning of the week as we can't accept courier and freight on weekends. It can also be dropped directly to the tannery. For details see Freight Options
Include all your contact details inside the package so we know who the skin belongs to and to ensure we can contact you when the skin is completed. For details see Tanning Prices
We have two freezer locations and drop off depots across the North Island to arrange freight to Invercargill.
