We
are committed to customer satisfaction!
We
encourage you to compare this website and our service
with others. You will undoubtedly note that we are significantly
different.
Our
own market research suggested that service quality delivered
through many websites purveying amulets was considered
unsatisfactory and issues regarding authenticity of
products, terms and conditions, and ethical business
practice were all major concerns.
We
hope the attention we have given these issues contribute
towards a consistent, responsive and reliable service
and ultimately greater client satisfaction. We believe
our service to be significantly better than any competitor,
but we let you judge for yourself.
Why
we are different:
1.
Certificates of Authenticity.
Buy an amulet without a certificate and you expose yourself
to the unnecessary risk of acquiring a 'replica amulet',
often referred to in the trade as 'Phra Kiwi'.
This is one of the greatest concerns voiced by potential
online collectors, an issue we have conclusively addressed.

Authentication
provides corresponding parties with a degree of certainty
in a market which unfortunately is dominated by fake
products. They not only add value but
also qualify any purchase if you decide to resell at
a later date.
All
our amulets can be supplied with an
Independent Certificate of Authenticity
as an option for an additional $40.00 USD
An
independent certificate issued by a recognised Thai
Amulet Society is essential and should not be confused
with home/self made certificates that have NO value.
The major amulet societies include: G-Pra, G-Amulet,
DD-Pra and Tarad Pra. Phra-Kru.Com can arrange to have
your amulet certified with one of these societies and
in this respect we believe we are unique.
2.
Full documentation and receipts Every
purchase through this website is accompanied by a full
receipt detailing your purchase and guarantee of authenticity.
We retain full records and can supply duplicate documentation
in the event of loss.
3.
Guarantees
We guarantee that our products are genuine, and we substantiate
that by providing a fully independent Certificate of
Authenticity with every amulet sold. We are not aware
of any other vendor that offers this level of security
and peace of mind.
We
operate an ethical business practice and are not in
the slightest bit interested in fakes, copies or replicas.
Our guarantee is valid for life and in the unlikely
event that your amulet is proven not to be genuine will
will offer a full refund without question. You may find
full details of Our
Guarantee here.
4.
Packaging We pack all our orders in
sturdy cardboard boxes or top quality padded envelopes.
All
parcels and courier bags are sealed with Tamper
evident security tape or labels
providing a simple and cost effective solution for improving
your security and our returns policy. It provides immediate
evidence of any attempts to open the packaging that
the tape has been affixed to by revealing the word "Open"
.
4.
Shipping & Insurance
|
|
|
We
send all orders by Courier, (which we subsidize)
we do not use airmail. As soon as your order is
shipped we issue you with a tracking number so that
you can monitor delivery status.
Courier
services as standard only provide insurance for about
50.00 - 150.00 USD. depending on the company. |
| We
pay an insurance premium on your behalf for loss
and damage during transit to the full value of your
order. This not only provides you with
security for your investment, it allows us to declare
a lower value on the packing slip and thus avoid
unnecessary customs attention or duty. |
| |
|
|
| If
an item is lost or damaged in transit you will be
offered an immediate refund or replacement. We will
not make you wait whilst a claim is filed.
Consignments can be tracked
on line here |
