I bid on two lots of feathers on ebay. I won one lot of 100 and when the package came it had 300 in it with a note from the guy saying that he sold so many he got the orders mixed up so he sent everyone 300. It cost me $3.56 to win the auction and 5 bux canadian for the shipping , arrived in 10 days. The feathers were in good shape and man what a bargain.
I also got 8 clumps for $4.00 with shipping $8.00 some of the best feathers I have seen. Arrived from South Dakota in about 2 weeks.
Both lots came from different pheasant farms. they are not wild and I am isolating them in zip locks with moth balls to kill any bugs.
I, like you, found $3.95 for a single feather to be a bit much.
Had no trouble with customs at all.
( that was your next question wasn't it? ) send me your address in a pm and I'll send you a clump.
Got your PM. Feathers will be winging their way eastward shortly.
DG thanks for the heads up.
