Proudly Serving Our Customers Since 1974
Here’s how we provide the best deals on the web:
For 40 years, we established and maintained effective working relationships with individual tribes throughout Africa. Because of this relationship, we import our merchandise directly from African tribes and villages without dealing with a “middle-man”. Due to this arrangement, we can afford to offer our merchandise at very competitive prices. In addition, we extend extra savings to our customers when inventory is overstock or when bargains have been negotiated during a buying trip. Although our prices are competitive, there’s an additional 5% discount on all online purchases. Signup for our bi-monthly newsletter and receive better deals. The newsletters include promotions, coupons, new arrivals, and more!
