How do you ship a duck? And how much does it cost?

Curious? How do you ship a duck? What kind of box do you use? How much does a box cost?

You will have to buy a USPS approved shipping box of the correct size. Take the bird to the post office on a monday or tuesday and they will weigh for shipping cost. It's not complicated but it is costly and not without risk.

It really just depends on where the bird is heading to and how much it weighs.

40-60$ for shipping, 20-30 for a box on average. The size of box needed depends on the bird going in it. Shipping cost is based on weight/destination then add in the price of the bird. So a $50 bird will easily cost $100-$120 when everything is added up.

Shipping a Trio of Muscovys (Just shipping) is $175-200..
