Kia ora, Goina!

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the personal touch that you give to your orders! Too often these days we receive emails that contain the "do not reply to this email" message, or we are lost within phone systems that force us to press number after number before we actually find a human voice on the other end, only to be transferred to another person altogether!!

Simple messages like "Cool, surf back in anytime!" or your comment on my Google skills lets me know that you are "hands on" with your orders. Your personal touch assures me and your other customers that you find each order to be special, important and appreciated, and though I can only speak for myself, I know that kind of treatment guarantees that I will bring my business back to you again and again.

Just wanted to pass that along. I can't wait to receive (and wear!) my pendant, and to do business with you again in the future!!

Many thanks!

Kia ora - thank you so much for my beautiful carvings. They got to New York safe and sound - a greenstone carving for my son, he's two months and I will wear it until he "comes of age" and a bone carving for my sister. I appreciate your news letters and personal connection to your patrons.

I can't thank you enough for replacing my son's koru. It meant a lot to him. I told everyone how kind you were. My friends love your art work. Thank you.

Thanks for your e-mail. I came across your site when I did a Google search on Maori art -- and I love it! :) I will definitely order from you again SOON. You have so many cool and beautiful things. Incidentally, a very good friend of mine from Belgium is going to New Zealand for a year as an au pair next week. I really envy her. New Zealand is such a beautiful country.
Have fun in the Netherlands! :)

A couple of years ago I befriended a Gambian guy who was staying in London (my home for the last 7 years now). When he headed back to Gambia I wanted to give him something to remember me by and searching desperately on the net for a little taster of my homeland I happened to come across your site.  I have since lost contact with this guy but the other day I got a txt msg out of the blue from him to tell me that he still loves his Koru bone carving necklace. It is great to see on your feedback page that you have so many customers worldwide and now you can add Gambia to you list of where your products have ended up.

Dear Goina, again the carving and bandanna managed to fly around the world very quickly. I received the parcel yesterday. The carving looks very nice and I hope my girlfriend will like the bandannas too! Next week we´ll start our holiday in Sweden. We´re going to take a hopefully nice canoe trip around some Swedish lakes (lots of water in the south of this country!) Thank You very much and Summer-Greetings from Germany! Kind regards,

I recently ordered two twists for a wedding present. They are absolutely lovely and I am so pleased to be able to give them as a gift. I now need a gift for our violin teacher and think that the drop will be just great. Especially with the kete to present it in. Thanks so much for your help. Best regards,

I'm delighted to have New Zealand ferns as a permanent reminder of all the beautiful ferns we saw in our two weeks there. Thanks.

I'm not sure if I ever got back to you to say thank you for the beautiful carving.  Tom really appreciated it, and has worn it ever since the day after our anniversary (we got to extend the celebration one day with this gift giving :) Glad to see the otter enjoying a delicious beverage with a beach-front view on such a lovely evening.

Thank you for the greenstone drops (and the peanut slab). They arrived safely in Canada yesterday and they are beautiful. I ordered the one as a replacement. I bought one a few years ago during a month long visit in NZ - it had made its home on Toronto Canada and Vancouver BC, but was tragically misplaced on a beach somewhere in Mexico. The second one is a spare for a gift. Thanks again for the prompt and efficient service - I'll keep your card for future needs!!
