| Hi Goina, The parcel with the shell and greenstone fish hook arrived in great shape, thanks again. Kerry B. -Orange, CA - USA |
| Yesterday I received my Bone Carving and it's amazing how quick it arrived! It looks beautiful and I'm sure my boyfriend will love it! It has been exciting to be in contact with someone so far away! Thanks for your nice emails and for the very quick handling of my order. Best wishes, Christine W. - Germany |
| Kia ora Goina, The bowl has arrived already ! In fact it was so quick that the postman got me out of bed with it at 7am this morning. It's really very good - it's a shame I have to pack it away again until Christmas day. Thank you for that and for the poppies with the blue sky, which I shall admire until spring. Regards, Ian S. - UK |
| Hello Thank you so much. I got home from visiting family for Thanksgiving and the package was here. The necklace and bandana are beautiful! I can't wait til Christmas to see my brother's face when he opens the gift! Thank you so much again! I'll be visiting your site in the future for more gifts and to leave feedback. Cheers! ~Christine B. - USA |
| Kia Ora Goina ! It's been great dealing with you - I've really enjoyed it. Ian S. - UK |
| Het pakketje is gearriveerd. Ik ben er erg blij mee. Het is boven alle - toch al hoge - verwachtingen. En een zeer snelle service!! Veel dank ook voor de andere goodies en het sjaaltje. Het was net pakjesavond. Ida vd K. - the Netherlands |
| I wanted to give my father in-law a gift that meant a great deal to me and would mean a great deal to him for receiving it, I found it difficult to find carvers in my home town, finding this site on the net is excellent, I have found the carving that suits him 100%, I know he will love it. The pieces available are stunning... Kyleigh O'S. - Tauranga, NZ |
| Kia Ora! This is for a very special friend for Christmas. I spent 6 months in Tauranga living with a family and spent time learning bone carving from some Maori friends at a Marae. So, it was very important to me to find good quality artwork - smooth, dark, and with uniform color as well as an artist I trust. You all seem to fit the bill, and I'm very excited! Thanks so much for your help, and please let me know if there are any problems (I've never purchased from overseas before). Elizabeth W. - USA |
| Package received (by pakeha) with thanks. I live deep in the country and the sun is shining on gold coloured leaves – beautiful… Excellent service. All the best to you. Jon L. - UK |
| Hi Goina, Just wanted to let you know that the pounamu arrived yesterday and it's exactly what I wanted. I think my friend will really love it! Thanks very much for your help and prompt delivery. Have a great week! Kirsten F. - USA |
| Hello Goina, Kia ora. WOW, my order came very fast. Within 5 days it traveled from New Zealand to The Netherlands. I'm very happy with my Koru and wear it proudly. Keep up the good work and I will tell everybody that is looking for real Maori carvings, they must look at your site. Greetings from Holland. Bart v G. - the Netherlands |
| October 2004 Very beautiful site and good info! Nina G. - UK |
| Hi Goina The pikau arrived today and it is beautiful. My daughter is using it as part of her costume for a Christmas pageant at our school. She is dressing as a Maori child. Again, thank you for your help. Dawn B. - USA |
| Aloha Goina! The bowl is absolutely magnificent and arrived in perfect condition followed a few days later by the incredible carving. Your carver truly is a master and I know these will be perfect gifts – so perfect I’m tempted to keep them myself! But they say that makes the BEST gift – something you WOULD have yourself!
Mahalo plenty for the wonderful items. I will keep in touch from time to time. |
| Just a brief mail to let you know I received my order safely. I was very impressed with the pieces, and will certainly order more in the future (could be a few months as I'm saving to get married). Thanks again for your excellent services, Best Peter F. - UK |
| Hello, I received the carving today! Thank you so much it is absolutely perfect and everything I wanted. The presentation is also superb. I am sure my boyfriend is going to be stoked with his xmas present. Thank you again. Marilyn B. - UK |
| Received the green stone carving this past weekend, and it's perfect! Just what I was hoping for. Thank you so much for your help. Jaimee M. - USA |
Kia Ora! I took a look at the pictures you sent and think I would like the one that is on the right side of the two pictures, the darker and slightly smaller looking one. Thank you so much for sending me pictures to choose from. I was in New Zealand 3 years ago for a couple of months and always looked at the Maori bone carvings. I have been kicking myself for not getting one ever since I came home. I didn't even think to look online until a couple of days ago. I think your website and business is wonderful. I have never had such prompt and helpful service, and especially not from someone so far away. I think some American businesses could really learn a thing or two from you! Thanks again, and I can't wait to get the necklace. |
| Thank you so much for your efficient handling of all items I have ordered - both this one and past orders. Gail M. - UK |
