Change orders
Calling to change the order/receipt after confirming the work order may result in a minimum 30% change order fee. That is, 30% of the total cost of your mount. Animal forms are purchased according to their unique size and position and a form may not be reused for many years. Thus, a change order fee is necessary to maintain profitability.
