The warrior wedding belts arrived today. They are stunning, and the smell of the leather infused with wood smoke takes me back to the Merrueshi Community. I was looking at your web site again and found the warrior wrist guards. I'd like to order both pair.

Thank you for your quick response and as always excellent customer service.

Dear Mr. Ruff, 
The spear was delivered about 7:30 this evening. IT IS AWESOME!!!!! I am very pleased with it. Thank you for your follow-up with UPS. You may use my “Awesome comment” (because it really is) on your feedback page. It's a present from my wife who now has hidden it from my sight. Best wishes for the season and a happy, healthy New Year.
Sincerely, Ron H.

P.S. He is VERY excited about his new spear which I allowed him to inspect for only a few minutes before putting it in Santa's hiding spot. Thank you for assisting in making for a Merry Christmas for my man!   Mrs. Ron

ZEBRA RUG IS BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks Ray for the beautiful Zebra rug that arrived yesterday. I appreciate all of your help with this purchase. Dom and I are both happy with the rug.
I hope this email finds you well.
Best,

Just wanted to let you know that the Springbok skin arrived in time.  I had to leave town and have not been able to get back to you as soon as would have liked. The collector I gave the skin to was very pleased with it --- loved the coloring and overall quality of the skin.  
Thank you for all your help in putting this together.
Regards,  Greg Stump

The shield -- and the opener -- arrived safe and sound today, and has been the object of great marveling and wondering. Thanks for making it possible for us to have this in our home. It takes me back to days of my youth, when I wanted to be a coffee-planter in the White Highlands of Kenya, and to all the marvelous African students whom I have had over the years.

Thanks for letting me know when the pillows do arrive and will order another pillow then as well. I don't mind waiting. The Zebra skin rug was exactly what I wanted. The attention to detail with regards to the sewn seams around the rug is impeccable. The skin looks so good. I'm so glad I ordered the Zebra rug from you. Glad to provide you with a positive reference if you need it.
Thanks, Wendy

Zebra Skin

Hi Ray: I have just received my Zebra skin and it's FANTASTIC I am so pleased with it! I want to thank you for being so helpful and patient with all the questions I asked regarding the quality of your skins in comparison to the others that are available on the market. I can now confirm that the statement on your web site about other skins at higher prices is true! Don't be fooled and pay to much! The quality is excellent and your service is first class, I will not hesitate to recommend you to others.
Thank you Ray, I will stay In touch.

Dear R&R Traders,
Today I received my Xxosa Sangoma and Tswana Mother Dolls. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised to see that you substituted the more expensive Tswana Mother Doll for the Tswana Beani Baby Doll that I had ordered. And at no additional cost. That was very generous of you. The dolls are beautiful and fit in perfectly with my other African Dolls, Thank you!
Sincerely,
L. A. B.

I received the skins. They arrived in good shape and look great. --Jamey

Dear Mr. R, The zebra (skin) is stupendous!

Zebra Skin arrived yesterday and it was great. I was surprised that it was so big.

  I received my Zebra skin today and I'm thrilled. As you may recall, I spoke with you on the phone and had a thousand questions. I had visited multiple websites and pursued many other channels (i.e. retail stores, decorators, etc.) to research how I might obtain the best zebra skin for the money. I was paranoid about paying for something without at least seeing photos of the exact skin I was purchasing-- but took a leap of faith with you because of your patience and straight forward approach.

  My zebra skin is beautiful. I had seen a lot of skins that were quite "battered" and worn--and without lining that cost more. My decorator assured me that your price was excellent and whatever the condition of the skin --it would be a sound investment. My skin was beyond the quality I expected-- you were right. I'm sure when my decorator sees the Zebra Skin, she too will become as loyal a customer--as I am now.. Thank you for your professionalism, patience, and sense of humor! --Monica Cox

Hi Ray,
Got our Zebra Rug and we absolutely love her. Thanks so much for everything!

Dear Ray with R&R Traders -
Thank you so much for the consistantly great service and authentic items. My whole living room is decorated in your African products and I love it! Many thanks and keep up the good work. P.S.- I can't wait to recieve the blow gun.
Thank you very much - C. Scott, Largo, Florida

Spear arrived in good form and timely. Quite a weapon. Thamboti smells a bit like cedar. Any idea of what kind of leather was used? My Bro will thoroughly enjoy this and display it in a prominent place in the cabin. Thanks again and regards.
Steve S.

R&R, Thank you so much for the extra swords. I am going to wrap them together with copper wire and hang them in a non-lethal place. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!

Zebra Skin

Dear R & R Traders,
  I wanted to write to let you know how much we love the Zebra skin rug you sent us. It was certainly worth waiting for and surpasses all our expectations. The coloration and markings are so distinct: the mane and tail intact and bushy; and the pleated black velvet around the periphery adds a most elegant touch!
  I can't wait to invite our friends over to see it - I'm sure they will want one too.
  Sincerely, Mrs. Fred Sredl

Good day!! I received my box today. Thank you so much for all your help. It really means a lot that you were willing to assure my order reached me. I look forward to doing business with you in the future. God bless and thank you again!!!

A special thank you to your Company, it has been a great experience to work with you on this transaction. You have bent over backwards in so many ways to make me happy. It is a shame that more customer service organizations are not as good as yours. I can't wait to see my items and make my friend envious.
