Loise Wairimu Karanja, Export Manager

Dear Wholesale Buyer,

We thank you very much for your promotion of African art and your patronage. Buying African art ensures work and livelihood for thousand of highly talented craft producers and their families. Your buying African art ensures their children are fed, clothed and sent to school. Our Staff is standing by to take your phone and internet orders and give answers to your requests for product information. Ordering by phone should be followed by written quote through email.

Price
Our wholesaler prices are in US Dollars and have been made standard to all our customers and for all our wildwide business transactions. Our prices do not include handling and shipping costs.

Order Method
Make your selection and e-mail us with the list of product codes and quantities. All Products are organized by the Code Number. Be sure to keep a note of the item number of any specific African art work that you want to order so that our customer service staff will know exactly which piece you are referring to.

Our minimums for a production order are according to customer instruction. We are all aware that this is a wholesale buy and we expect a substantively big order to fit 20ft and 40 ft containers.

For sample order, we would not give any limitation of all total of sample quantities but please send the samples fee together with the sending cost fee of the samples.

Using Order Form
Make your choices using our product catalogues (available in PDF also and on our Website). Prices for custom made items will be given separately. Using a simple ordering form with fields comprising Code, Item, Quantities, Unit Price and Order Amount, identify each item using its product code, specify quantities you are ordering, state unit price and find the order amount for the item. Illustrated below is a simple ordering form made in MS Excel. Do not forget to have your letterhead on your order form.

Proforma Invoice

Send us the ordering form in PDF or MS Excel. We will use it to prepare a Proforma Invoice which we will send back to you. We require 50% downpayment of the total order amount to be sent to our Dollar Account. And then I will send fax or email you the receipt of payment plus our bankers confirmation.

Production

Production will begin only when deposit has been paid. For all orders we require the amount of 50% Down Payment. Make a fifty percent deposit on an order to enable us finance our producer groups and save valuable artefacts from being sold to another customer first. Email us your receipt/invoices of the tranfer as a confirmation. Then we will reconfirm your down payment by email.

We will inform you when your order is finished and ready to be shipped. Then we need you to complete the final payment.

Shipping
We only ship orders Freight Prepaid. We recommend shipping your order either by Sea Freight or Air Freight. For Sea Freight, we undertake to pay FOB upto the port of Mombasa where your broker takes over. Our prices do not include handling and shipping costs. Our shipment will be accompanied with a Bill of Lading and a Packing List to help you verify the art objects on reception.
