    Not knowingly, no.
    But then again, I probably wouldn't buy anything off an American firm.
    I'm based in the UK and can probably just as easily find anything I need more locally....

    I have purchased a few items from them. Specifically, a couple of malas and mala bags.

    Thanks for modding, Fed! I need to stop posting while sleepy haha!

    I'd love to buy things locally, just in general (I'm in Canada) but sometimes price really gets in the way.

    BonsaiDoug, how did you find the delivery time after order? They didn't give me any clue as to when I can (ballpark) expect to receive my order, and my schedule is so random. In case I have to sign for something, I don't want to miss out and have to go to the post office! When I try to track from their site, it says "awaiting fulfillment," which I guess is a cute way to say it hasn't shipped yet.

    With my two shipments, there was no tracking info given - just went from "awaiting" to "shipped." But I did get an email telling me it was shipped.

    They are a very small (husband and wife) operation, so things don't move as quickly as a large company. That being said, not much time elapsed from ordering to actually receiving my packages.

    I purchased their Raktu mala and their Dharmashop mala. Both very well made and better looking in person than even in the photos. I'm sure I'll be ordering from them again.

    They are counters for keeping track of circuits around the mala. Used for both mantra and chanting counts, they help to keep track of the total number needed to be reached.

    Beautiful mala #2, B-Doug!
