I just wanted to let you know that my Tiki arrived yesterday and it is fabulous! I put it on straight away and am wearing it again today - I just want to show it off; I'm going to have to restrain myself from buying more in different colours! Thank you for your great service (as usual) and I look forward to doing some more shopping again soon.

Kia ora, Goina! I forgot to tell you that I got the instruments I ordered from you. They are beautiful! It took me a bit to get a sound out of the Koauau but I think I got it. Thanks for everything! Hope your Europe trip was fun!

Kia Ora!! Isn't the internet amazing! It's funny how I can make an order in NZ and be dealing with you in the Netherlands! It's been nice chatting with you ;-) thanks again for your fantastic, personal service (something I really miss in the UK) and have a fabulous time in Valencia.

Hey Goina
Got my Maori carving yesterday. So if you would like to figure out the average time shipping to an APO then there is your facts (16 days). It is exactly what I wanted. Thank you. I also gave your business cards as well as your web address to some other soldiers here in Iraq. They love the necklace that I got. Your Friend,

Kirsty, a guide dog (to be), managed to get hold of a NZ native timber ruler... and chewed it. We organise a new one for our client. And this is what happened. Please find the email to us:
Kirsty, guide dog to be

Greetings from a sunny warm morning in England - the grass is green, the flowers are blooming nicely, the birds are fledging their young and tomorrow.......rain predicted!  We can't really complain as we have just has the warmest April on record.

I just wanted to tell you about last Monday morning:- 

I was at work, my husband Geof was at home with Phil, my youngest who is on study leave from college at the moment when they heard the sound of the post arriving.  Phil got up and went into the hall and picked up the mail - nothing unusual, they were sorting out the letters when Geof became aware that Kirsty was walking around with something in her mouth.......  You guessed it - she had in her mouth one nice new ruler (of course still in its packaging) of which she was immensely proud!  Kirsty had been a VERY good girl though and obviously read your instructions about do not bend or CHEW!  She gave up her prize and not a tooth mark could be found anywhere on the packaging so needless to say that the ruler is in pristine condition!
 
What amazed us was that in the year that we have had her (from when she was 6 weeks old) Kirsty has NEVER once bothered with or even looked at the post and more to the point - Phil went to pick up the post straight away - no one saw Kirsty get up and go to the hall first to pick up the parcel - she must have reacted instantly the ruler arrived or even as the postman walked up the drive?!
 
Well, all we can think is that her incredible canine powers of smell must have come into play and Kirsty finds NZ wood just irresistible...
 
Anyway, the ruler has arrived safely and Geof was absolutely delighted.  The ruler remains safely put away - still inside all the packaging that you posted it in (for safe keeping) and this just leaves us to say a VERY BIG THANK YOU for all your help.
 
With very best wishes to you all.

Hi Goina,
Just wanted to let you know the gorgeous pounamu turned up a few days ago, and it’s wonderful! Tony was so surprised, and just chuffed at receiving it! He said I was very thoughtful :-) It’s a lovely stone, and is even better quality than the last one he had – we are both very happy indeed! With thanks!

Hi Goina,
Thanks for the great newsletter. I’ve attached a copy of a picture of our boss’s farewell where the Mere that we purchased from you was presented to our boss here in Kandahar, southern Afghanistan. So your products are even here in Afghanistan!!!!! It went down a real treat and it was most appreciated by our boss. Your contribution on this was fantastic and we thank you for that. Stay safe and warm in NZ!!!!!!!!
Cheers, James W. - Kiwi in Afghanistan

Kia ora James! Stay safe too! Goina
I wanted to let you know that I received my mother’s koru pendant yesterday and its perfect! Everything from the bandana to the flax pouch to the pendant is just awesome. Your website is very easy to use and the service is great. I will definitely be ordering from your company again. Next on my list is to order the mere and the taiaha after I save some money! Thank you again for the awesome pendant and speedy service. Que tengas un buen dia.

Hi Goina
I have received the pendants. They are so nice. All ok. We have kiwi friends in Mallorca working for Orion (eHealth). And someone has a hei-matau and we think that is so nice. We are an Island too, and we like the mediterranean sea, and we like the legend of Hei- Matau. This is the reason of the web research. :) Thank you very much for the good transaction. Regards from Mallorca (Spain).
