Buying Considerations from Wilford

 

PRICING

 

If you find that some of our prices appear surprisingly low compared to many of our EBay competitors, congratulations, you have discovered Wilford’s Trading Post--one of the very best places to buy authentic Native American Jewelry.  We are a family owned business founded in 2007.  Living in Gallup gives us some tremendous marketing advantage because our town is indisputably billed as the Indian Jewelry Capital of the World.  Most of our retail pricing is done by a simple formula based on our wholesale acquisition cost.  Vintage and irreplaceable items are priced by our own appraisal. All items are priced to sell as marked - we do not discount.

 

AUTHENTICITY

 

Approximately 95% of what we sell is bought on the reservation or in Gallup; exceptions include Albuquerque and Santa Fe.  We screen diligently to avoid imports masquerading as authentic Native American jewelry.   Our stock merchandise comes from well established, reputable wholesalers and individual artists.    We regularly attend market place showings and museum exhibitions, and Wilford writes regularly in Wilford’s Buying Journal to share in depth insight into the marketplace.   We will provide a certificate of authenticity on request, but keep in mind that they are rarely requested for they have little if any value because they are the easiest thing to fake.

 

SHIPPING & INSURANCE

 

Insurance is included in the shipping price on all orders.   We price our shipping to approximate the actual shipping charges.   Shipping charges within the continental USA are limited to $10.   Most products are shipped within 24 hours of receiving payment.

PAYMENT

We accept credit cards and other forms of payments through PayPal.   

CUSTOM ORDERS:

Rarely is it practical or financially worthwhile for a single piece.   In reality most of the artists are elusive and not inclined to do custom work.  

RETURNS

 

We offer money back on all items returned.   We reserve the right to charge a 10% restocking fee and to ask the buyer to pay return postage.   Return of items for credit must be within 14 days unless an exception is granted.
