It's thursday afternoon, I'm watching the gold medal women's soccer game, I went to check the mail, the pendants are here!!! Goina, they are so beautiful!!!, I'm so speechless, all I can say is WOW!!! I have learned from wearing my hook bone pendants I got last week that I bid on Ebay, you get a certain feeling from them. I know I will get a special feeling from these two gorgeous ray pendants. Again thank your carver for me, they are just what I wanted!!! Thank you for your business cards, I'm going to be showing these pendants off a lot. Thank you for these special gifts!!! Take care. Have a great day, I am,

Just to let you know I received your parcel yesterday, they're beautiful. Shall be wearing the fish hook daily, hope it brings me luck and protection on my travels.

Thank you so much for such a great and friendly service, it's unusual nowadays, sadly.

I received my carvings a couple of days ago. They are so beautiful. I'm so glad to have a piece of your heritage for a keepsake. In fact, I will more than likely place another order in the next few days.

Thank you for your help as well as your kindness. Have a great day.
Take care, Diane V. - USA

Sorry to take so long to reply but thank you for the manaia carving it made a perfect christening present for a friends son - will deffo recommend your service to my friends. Currently on holiday in South Africa watching southern right whales less than 10m from the shore -amazing. Even seen a great white y'day. Thanks for the letter - I remember Devonport (great chip shop) from when I spent a year working in New Plymouth - great views although some of the running is a bit too hilly! All the best

Ahora nui. I too am a runner and love runs on the beach. The Atlantic is a five minute boat ride away so only when we go do I have the opportunity to run there. Thank you for the beautiful koru. They are gifts for my daughter and friend who are just turning 16 years old. A special birthday here in the States as we call it their "sweet 16". I'm sure I will be ordering more in the future. Many thanks. Julie K. - USA

Wow, that's service!!
Thank you very much,

I watched the opening ceremony as well, what a stadium! I am looking forward to a week in Athens next week supporting the Basketball team, just look out for the Ed Book Fan Club!
Many thanks Goina.

Hi Goina! Oh my gosh, they are gorgeous manta rays!!!! Your carver did a fantastic job!!! They are more beautiful than I thought they would be, thank you so much! I like the manta ray on the right in the picture, so save that one for me please. And the same with the sting ray pendant too. Wow, I'm totally speechless!! I'm going to go crazy waiting for these pendants, thank you so very much, you have made a special dream come true for me. Please tell your carver he did a masterful job. I know when I get the pendants and wear them people will be asking about them and I will tell them to get in touch with you and your carver. I will wear them all the time with pride. Wow, I'm so happy and amazed, lol. thank you so much, take care my friend,

Kia ora Goina!
I received the ring on Friday and have been wearing it ever since! It is absolutely awesome!

I hope you enjoyed your time in Europe and that the weather behaved itself (we had thunderstorms last week - caused havoc on the roads and the trains were not able to cope either... it made getting home very hectic!)

Thank you once again for your prompt, efficient and friendly service. I'm sure I'll be emailing you again in the near future for yet another order....!!

All the best,
Lou D. - UK

Hallo Goina,
Greetings from Berlin suffering in tropical heat, but I spent this weekend outside the city and relaxed with friends in their cottage near a lake. And what surprise when I came home: found your parcel in my letterbox. Indeed, I didn't expect it so soon. So you did a very good job and I will recommend your firm to my friends, hopefully someone is going to order some pieces of your offer.

For the time being, I am happy with my carvings. Thanks! All the best wishes to you and further success in your business.
Kind regards,
Hannelore P. - Germany

Thanks
I look forward to receiving them - delighted to do business with you. Just out of interest they are gifts for a friend whose husband came to the UK from N. Z. many years ago - a touch of home I hope. Cheers

Hi Goina,
Just a quick word to say both my pendants have arrived safe and sound and are perfect, thank you! Cheers!

Good Morning Goina
Thank you so much for the speedy response - That's great service. I really look forward to receiving the Koru so I can add it to my glass collection from around the world that I've just brought back form 2 years of travel.

This is a bit late but, I wanted to say thank you for the beautiful carvings and the how fast they arrived! They are exactly what we were looking for! Keep up the great work. Aloha.
Matt T. - USA

Kia ora!

I just received the order I placed with you for the wallhangings, I had purchased 18 of them for the bridal shower of my sister. I opened up one of the boxes, and i saw the "koru" and the "waves"... they are BEAUTIFUL!!! My family loves them, and so do I.

Thank you thank you so much for being prompt and on time, and being so friendly!! I'll tell my friends about this website about "a little piece of New Zealand!"
Sincerely, a very happy lady,
Renate T. - USA

Kia ora Goina! I have received the mere pendant already today – WOW! Thanks for the super fast shipping as always and for an absolutely beautiful piece (my first pounamu). Can always count on the best quality pieces whenever I shop from you guys – YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

I am glad to hear that you are back in NZ once again (last time I bought something was when you had just left the country); awesome job by Denise while you were gone, by the way!

Also, my sympathies to you and family for the loss of Petra. It makes me sad to hear such news, especially since I’ve lost my kuia not to long ago as well; I’m sure Petra is at a much better place than we are and is smiling down at us =)

Noho ora mai ra & thanks again!

Dear Goina,
Just received the 2 mere pounamu pendants and I really do like them! So, don't be surprised to see me order more great creations from you in the future.
Take care and Aloha from Hawaii,
Brian O. - USA
It is Thursday here and I already have my greenstone. Wow what great service. You Kiwis always amaze me somehow or another. You are so far ahead of us Americans. You know how to treat people. I wish you the best and would like to look up your business this year when I'm down. Have a great weekend,
Cheers,
Don J. - USA
Hello, I´d just like to write and commend you on your customer service. It´s very rare nowadays that you find mail order companies offering a personal touch. Most places would never offer to giftwrap free of charge and would almost certainly send a credit receipt with it even though it is a gift. It makes things a lot clearer to the customer so thank you again.
yours sincerely
Edward T. - USA

Many thanks for the bone carving it arrived yesterday it's fantastic! I love it and now don't want to give it away as a present, but will do since I can't keep it for myself. Once again many thanks,
Amber M. - UK

Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii!
If I like the pounamu pendants really well you can count on me buying more of your great items.
