Happy New Year

The time has come. We are just hours away from 2012. Time to wish all our friends the best for the coming year.

We hope you will find a place in your calendar to visit our websites and see what has been added in African Tribal Art, Native American jewelry, Native American Pueblo Pottery, Zuni fetish carvings and Arctic/Inuit art. We also have some "vintage" Australian Aboriginal art.

In any event, may your coming year be filled with the happiness of family, the prosperity of positive thoughts and the fascinations of tribal art

Will it get there in time?

That's a question we get a lot of at this time of year.

Folks buying gifts on line want some assurance that their purchase will arrive before Christmas.

Here are some guidelines.

USPS Priority gets delivered in 2 to 3 days. If you are shipping from one coast to the other, count on three days. USPS has announced that the last day for shipping to arrive pre-Christmas is December 21. If you want to track your shipment, there is a very small surcharge for a tracking number. Insurance also can be purchased, depending n the value of the package. You still might want to purchase a tracking number, because it one is not included with insurance.

UPS promises deliver in 5 to 7 days. UPS is more expensive but often a better service large or heavy packages.

And, of course, there always is FedEx. FedEx will deliver overnight. But you will pay for it.

Christmas Sale on Native American Jewelry

As the Christmas holiday approaches at what appears to be break-neck speed, Native American Jewelry .org is announcing a major sale. Now through November 26, please take 25% off every item of Native American Jewelry you purchase from the web site.

Shopping is easy. Simply scroll through the dozens of pages, find the items you like and click on the "Order" button. Complete the order form and enter the code word, "Artery". The 25% discount will be taken when your order is processed.

You also can telephone us toll-free at 800-305-0185 to place your order. Many people prefer this way of ordering. That's fine with us. (We like to hear your voice.) It's also a good idea because, as the sale proceeds, items may be sold before you get to them. A phone call gives us a chance to check our inventory before you order.

We answer the phone between 9 am and 6 pm Eastern Time. Otherwise, leave a message in the voice mail and we will call you back within 24 hours - sooner if possible.


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
