Customer Testimonials for Galeria Namu

When Galería Namu first opened the doors in 1998 there was no e-mail or internet access here in Costa Rica; we were fortunate, however, that when a visitor walked into the gallery it was often a word of mouth referral which provided us with customer testimonials, i.e.,  “Our friends/family so-and-so raved about your gallery.”

More recently, of course, we are connected to our customers around the globe.  The following customer testimonials have been generated by both customers to Galería Namu in San Jose and from purchases made by through our website.  (all are on file) The following is a sample of more recent customer testimonials, unsolicited. We appreciate the kind words.

We will not hesitate to get in touch with you regarding additional pieces. Several of the carved pieces have a high appeal. Again thanks so much.”     ~ Ben and Jean (U.S.A.)

• “Hello, first of all I wanted to thank you for the notifications and the pictures of the Mask being worn by the tribe.  Is the Mask that I am getting the one that was worn by the indians or a replica? I am just a little bit curious.  I didn’t know about Galeria Namu but my sister who is in Costa Rica told me about it, let me tell you that I visited the website and I fell in love with all the terrific pieces of art. If after I receive the package I am happy with everything I will certainly become one of your clients.  thank you!”   ~Priscilla (U.S.A.)
