I had a taxidermist in Alberta ask me to send the final payment on a musk ox shoulder mount, saying it was ready to ship. I sent the $$$ and after a month asked where the hell it was, since it ain't all that far from Alberta to Montana. Didn't get a reply for a week, and then he said it would be shipped immediately. After another week I called and said if I didn't have it within another week I'd be up there to pick it up myself--or the money. I got a phone call the next day from his wife saying it would arrive within three days, and it did.
