Where do the Skins Come From?

The Lapp in northern Finland raise reindeer for food.  They have been doing this for hundreds of years.  The skins are a by-product of the food industry.  Reindeer are not killed just for their hides.

Care of the Skins

Reindeer (and other members of the deer family) have a hollow hair that will break if walked on or sat upon.  Please do not walk on the hides as you will destroy them over time.  Keep in mind that a 100-pound dog sitting on the skins all of the time will also break hair and cause the skins to shed.  Also, expect a minor degree of shedding over time, especially in the south where it is hot and humid or in a hot room up north.  The skins are ideally mounted on a wall, draped over a rail, or used as a floor covering where they are not walked on.  If they are draped over a couch, expect some shedding from sitting against the skin.  Expect some degree of shedding from hollow-hair hides.  

We do not accept returns on reindeer skins after our standard five-day inspection period.

Domestic Shipping Information

  The reindeer hides weigh about 4-6 pounds each.  The shipping cost for one reindeer hide within the U.S. is in the US$8.00 to US$10.00 range, depending on where it's being shipped and the weight/size of the hide.

Overseas Shipping Information

For shipments overseas, we recommend using the U.S. Mail Service's Global Express Mail.  This is the best way to send the reindeer hides and offers a tracking number.  Global Express takes 3 - 5 business days to most countries (not including customs delays).

You can save money by shipping using regular insured air mail, but this takes 1-2 weeks (plus customs delays--which can add up to 3 or 4 weeks) and does not offer a tracking number.  We cannot track these parcels and the U.S. Post Office will not investigate a shipment until at least one month has passed. 

Shipping cost to other European destinations is about the same.  Please see the U.S. Post Office's website at www.usps.com for their postage calculator to determine the cost to your country.  Allow six or seven pounds for the weight of the skin and the box depending on the size of the hide.  Add US$5.00 for insurance, delivery confirmation, etc.

Import Program for Wholesale Customers

Twice a year we import a shipment of reindeer skins from Finland.  We usually firm up orders with a number of customers in early October for shipment in late November or early December and delivery in late December or early January and then again take firm orders in March for shipment in April and delivery in May.  

If you are able to buy at least three boxes (105 reindeer skins) at a time and are able to pre-pay, please contact us for details.
