standards of artisan communities in Asia, which are some of
the most impoverished regions of the world. It is our priority
at Tribal Monsoon™ to reward the artisans behind the crafts
that we exhibit on our website. We aim to preserve their creative
cultural heritage by connecting artisan communities with arts/crafts
enthusiasts worldwide. By promoting crafts from the East,
we help support the global community of artisans and help
keep ancient traditions alive. For more information on our
initiatives to reward artisans, please see our Supporting
Artisans page. |

 |
 |
| |
Why
does the product I received in the mail look different than
the one I saw online?
It is important to note that each hand-crafted
item is truly unique. Each of our products embodies an individuality
and uniqueness that cannot be found in any other item. The
product that is shipped to you may vary slightly in color
and pattern than the one you see on our website. This variation
in color and pattern is characteristic of hand-made items
and adds to their natural beauty. |
 |
 |
| |
Are
Tribal Monsoon™ products actually hand-crafted?
Each product in the Tribal Monsoon™ collection is
hand-crafted by artisans in tribal regions of the Indian Subcontinent
and beyond. Once products are in our inventory, we apply finishing
touches like polishing and cleaning for quality control purposes. |

 |
 |
| |
Why
is info.kagi.com
on my credit card statement and not Tribal Monsoon?
When you are purchasing something from Tribal
Monsoon's website www.tribalmonsoon.com,
you are actually purchasing our products from Kagi. Kagi is
our reseller, not a payment processor. Sometimes when a Tribal
Monsoon customer makes a purchase on our website through Kagi,
there is often confusion as to the role Kagi plays in the
transaction. Customers often think they are buying from the
suppliers of the purchased products (i.e. Tribal Monsoon),
without realizing that Kagi is acting as the sales channel.
Kagi is the reseller of Tribal Monsoon's goods. Therefore,
when you purchase a Tribal Monsoon product at www.tribalmonsoon.com,
info.kagi.com
will appear on your credit card statement. |
 |
 |
| |

1-2 business days. |

do I pay for my order by fax?
