Capilano Furs & Taxidermy Studios

Worst experience. Refused to wear a mask, wanted to charge me $300 to see the show room.. would never recommend this place

Worst rip off I have ever had charged me $400.00 to appraise 2 coats did not give me anything in writing absolutely nothing for the money would not ever deal with this person beware he is not an honest person

This man does poor work and gets aggressive and threatening if show disatisfaction in his work. He overcharges and holds your items hostage until you pay his rediculous prices. Find someone else. A student would do a better job.

I took my damaged elk head up to his place after making an appointment over the phone, where he wouldn't quote me without seeing the damage. After he saw it, he told me it would take a long time and explained the difficult process, therefore quoting me a large amount. After I dropped it off, he called me the very next day saying it was done and to come pick it up. When I arrived with my roommates help, I noticed that it looked like plaster and glue was covering the damaged area. My beautiful elk head was ruined. I told him how unsatisfied I was and asked him to lower the price, this is when he exploded with anger and began yelling at me and my roommate. He refused to return me my elk head and told me I wasn't allowed on his property. It was so bizarre and very upsetting since I lost my $1500 elk head to this man. DO NOT GO TO THIS GUY, he is unpredictable, terrible at his trade and a thief!

I had a very bad experience with this man. He has different prices for apprising your coat if it is less than $5000 or if it is more than $5000, and he appraised my coat at more than $5000, so just for telling me that verbally that is $100 dollars. I agreed to have my furs cleaned, and he charged me $380, and gave it back stinking of perfume so badly, it seems as if he had poured a whole bottle of cheap perfume. That was more that 3 months ago and I still can't get the smell go away, I had to hang the coat in the garage because it gives me a headache. I'm considering having it cleaned again to get rid of the smell. And sincerely speaking, the coat looked better before that it does now. The man is also brutish and rough.

Was severely overcharged for a simple skull cleaning - this man took advantage of my inexperience with taxidermy and charged me literally 3 times the normal price. Once confronted about this he turned extremely nasty - highly recommend you avoid this business at ALL costs.

I DON'T recommend him at all.

With the negative feelings and emotions surrounding anything fur (or the like) it would be difficult to find positive things to say on the subject, however there are situations in life that seldomly occure without having to murder or slaughter" for sake of draping another creature's coat around your neck - although rare

This man is a horrible horrible human being. Rude and mean. I felt traumatized after just a simple phone call which i regret making. Horrible man

Horrible experience trying to deal with my life sized polar bear in which wasn't done how i wanted it and then told it was done that way for resale.....then told i could keep it there til it sells.....its been yrs now told that i gotta pay for the storage of the bear and the bill out weighs the value of the bear.....i see court and lawyers getting involved really soon.....avoid this business at all costs.
