Here are some testimonials offered by individuals who have purchased from us recently:
The amber arrived with no problems, thank you! The green amber is really captivating and beautiful. After polishing the rough amber piece, I found a nice bit of a stem and 5 ants inside ( I am just guessing). I don't know how many customers go for the "pot luck " specials but I certainly enjoy them!
Just
wanted to say I got the piece yesterday. Its better than the scans show.
And the specimen is a Thrichopteran (caddisfly), not a true fly. Its
small size made it a real challenge. I'm still trying to
get it to Genus level.
You
guys are the best! I've loved every piece of amber I've ordered from
you Thank
you so much. I love your products. I hope to be able to order even more
merchandise as the year progresses. I just wanted to thank you for the package that My amber arrived today and I must tell you it was not even close to the scanned picture I saw on line. IT WAS 100 TIMES NICER. The scanned picture did not do justice to this beautiful piece. I had intended to make a pendent for my self but I just can't find the heart to do anything with this piece but look at it. I did put a coat of turtle wax on it and the amber color latterly exploded before my eyes it is so clear and I love looking at the spider trapped with in. Please fell free to publish part or all of my e-mail to you as I will surely endorse your site and will be a frequent customer you can be assured.
I found your website back in october and sent a link to my son. I
told him i would love to get one of your pendants for Christmas. I was
very pleased when i opened a present and there was my beautiful pendant.
Its has a gnat and a beetle in it and its lovely. I absolutely love
it. On
October 20, 2006 I made the mistake of ordering an insect from another
web site xxxx.net. I still haven't received it yet. Today is November
15, 2006. It is supposed to be delivered today, nearly a month after
I ordered it. I had to several times e-mail them and leave them messages
as to where my insect was. They did not even sound concerned that I
was upset for not receiving my insect!!! I even told them that I have
never had a problem ordering from your web site Ambericawest.com, that
I always receive my insects within DAYS of ordering and you always keep
me posted on the status of my order. I told them I would NEVER order
anything from them ever again. I felt like they were trying to keep
my money and not send me anything. Today I am supposed to finally get
my order, I pray that it is in one piece!!! I
purchased from you for the first time and bought the damselfly/dragon
fly mount! I received it today and was ABSOLUTELY ECSTATIC! The mount
is beautiful really excellent I'm very happy with your service and the
product!! I have a few more on the way I think! and I cant wait to get
them! Thank you so much for the excellent product and postage really
fantastic I'm so happy
I recieved both pieces of amber, in Seattle and Japan. Thank you for
handling my order so well, I am very pleased with both specimens. I
look forward to ordering from you in the future. Chris The
amber arrived last week. Thank you very much for the recommendations
and the quality of the amber sent. This has unquestionably been one
of the most pleasant online dealings I have ever had. Alan I
just wanted to say thank you for having a fine product and delivery
as promised, I will defiantly tell anyone I know to shop here for amber. Well
- I received this exquisite bracelet today ! That was really fast .
So- I went nuts and ordered another one. But now, I must stop - am replacing
an old, rotten storage piece on the back of the house-and adding a verandah-
other one also rotten - and even though I do a lot myself- it costs
a FORTUNE ! I was so lucky to have found your site- it is so interesting
! I saw a story on a man who walks the beaches beside the Baltic sea
and picks up amber- I think there is a TV special on him- this week
? -Forget the channel- I may not get it- Anyway - many thanks for the
usual incredibly good service. It is amazing to receive something so
"old" - and from the US- so fast- being up here in the boonies
! The farmer next door is spreading manure- third day now- I think I
will have to go to an air conditioned store- the fumes are beginning
to wipe me out ! Even my cats' eyes are watering - the wind blows up
off the lake - and - oh lord- it is strong ! I
just bought a small piece of amber @ a shop in Florence, Or. It brought
me to your awesome web site. I feel as if I have just taken AMBER 101.
Excellent information Beautiful site, well prepared and clickable close
ups made this one of my favorites. There are NO dead end links! Now,
if you'll excuse me, I need to place an order so I can return to parusing
the Soooo reasonably priced gorgoeus pieces that your site offers!!
The
pendant arrived on Wednesday 21st June in the morning, so that was a
great service from you, to arrive on my birthday, and you were right,
I was delighted with it, what a beautiful piece it is ! Thanks for all
your help. All thebest for the future, I hope buisness is good! I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for your
quick ship and also want you to know the light is far superior to others
I have used. I'm using it to ID early american pattern glass. Thanks
again I've
just received my order and I wanted to say thanks for the extra piece
at no charge! The wasp in it is great. I also love the amber pendant
with gnat- I'm going to wear it to work at MIT tomorrow. I'll mention
your site to anyone who expresses an interest. Hi
Doug. I just wanted you to know that the amber pendant arrived yesterday.
It is beautiful and my wife is very happy with it. Also, I really appreciate
that you acted to resolve the shipping problem even though it was not
your fault. I'm already recommending your site to others. I
want to say thank you – I ordered a pendant from your site last
week for my daughter’s high school graduation present and was pleasantly
surprised to see that it was EXACTLY what your site indicated it would
be. It’s beautiful! Thanks again! Now
that's what I call fast shipping ! You mailed my specimens from Colorado
Saturday afternoon and they arrive at my home in rural New york at 1:30
Monday. Amazing. Oh yeah.....the specimens are awesome, just the thing
to brighten a cold rainy Monday afternoon. As always, thanks. I
received the Zeiss loupes today -- they are the best!
I
bought a UV light from you a while back and I just wanted to let you
know how fantastically pleased I am with it - I recommend it to anyone
I meet who is interested in collecting or dealing in amber necklaces.
It is a most wonderful tool and is really helping me to put together
a very beautiful and interesting collection of amber necklaces. I found
my first real cherry amber necklace the other day. Thanks
for the heads-up on the show. By the way, I just wanted to say "thank
you" for having the best website on amber. My first piece of amber
was from you and bought as a package with Andrew Ross' book and the
Belomo loupe, that was 6 months ago and I'm now hopelessly hooked on
amber. At times I feel guilty at buying so many of your "specials",
but I can't resist. I
just recieved my order, the necklace is beautiful! It's raining here,
so I looked at the necklace under a flourescent light and it's as blue
as can be! It has the color change equal to an Alexandrite. This is
a real treasure. Thank you. I'll be back to do business again.
Just
wanted you to know that I received my baltic
Received my two (Belomo) loupes today, talk about sweet!
I really appreciate you letting me know about my pendant -- I'm excited
to receive it! I want to take a moment to tell you what a nice experience
it has been to deal with Amberica West. You guys have really interesting,
unusual items, for great prices (including your shipping charge),
and each piece I've ordered has arrived really promptly. Plus, your
site is absorbing and informative.
Laurina
Just
letting you know our order was received yesterday and are pleased
with the items we ordered. Your Dominican amber specials were better
than I imagined they would be. Great deal for the price! Too bad you
only post 2 a week! The loupe and blacklight will come in handy when
my 9 year old fossil collecting son hits the fossil and mineral shows
this spring. He was very excited to use his new loupe to examine his
amber pieces when he got home from school. I think he is hooked on
amber! We will be back for more. Great website by the way....its in
my favorites file for sure.
Perry & Tyler Thank you so much for the superfast delivery. I got the blacklight in about
a week, much quicker than I had expected. At first, I wasn't sure it worked
and grumbled a bit, but it turned out that I had polarised the batteries
incorrectly. It works beautifully now! I feel a little guilty, because the
shipping charges were about double what you charged me for them. I'm afraid
you didn't make any money on this deal. And I am not even a fellow amber
collector, I got the blacklight to look for stains from my temperamental
pet cats, who have a habit of spraying when stressed. Yours was the
cheapest offer, and believe me I searched plenty of European sites.
I will certainly recommend your service to all my pet-loving friends with
similar problems. Just make sure you charge them enough for the postage.
best wishes, I want you to know that I just spent a very pleasant four days examining all your beautiful photographs in my spare time. I appreciate the amazing command you possess of your field.
It's like visiting the Smithsonian Institute of Amber without the crowds!
I will be back!
Thank you so much -and rest assured
Thank
you - kind actions such as this (and your following email) are the
kind that keep people coming back, and make spreading the word a pleasure. You are right I am really pleased at this piece you
had sent. I think my grandmother will love it. I was nervous ordering
this before actually seeing it, but I am more than happy. Thank You
Again. I
guess patience is a virtue. I received all 4 pieces I ordered in the
mail today. They are beautiful. The earrings are gorgeous. I am extremely
pleased with my purchase! You will probably see more orders from me
in the future. You prices are very reasonable, and the quality of
your product is perfect. Thank you so much for your time and help.
I am 100% pleased with my order.
Thank you Doug. Great site. Great prices. Great customer service. As Arnold says " I'll be back". What
can I say! I've order a mounted bug on the 7th of July and I got a
mail the same day confirming that the bug had been shipped. When I
got back from a little trip on the 18th of July there was a package
in my mail. I opened the package ( do I have to say it was carefully
wrapped?) and inside was this beautifull bug in PERFECT condition.
The bug and frame was exactly like the one on the picture, only nicer.
Im so pleased with this "deal" so I'm going to place another order
real soon. All my life, since childhood, I have loved- rocks- that which comes from the earth. To be able to live in the "boonies" of Quebec, and receive in the mail, -rocks !- as well as foraging in these gentle mountains where I live-is fabulous. I appreciate your service and your marketing- Yesterday, I picked up my package from the post office. I even like your logo- and the magnet you included. Thank you ! Delighted
with Amber specimens and speed of service-thankyou. Thank
you so much for the beautiful amber that you sent to us..... It was
like Christmas for both of us when we received your parcel. I
received my order in the mail today and was very pleased with all
the items I purchased. They were beautiful! Just
letting you know I got 'The Bug' and it arrived perfect. WHAT an Thank
you for the fast service. My son has recently taken and interest in
collecting these mounted specimens. Your fast response and displays
will make him very happy with these additions to his collection. We
will be back to purchase more. Just
a note to say thank you for your "AmberCam." Our son is
a cadet at USAFA. We loved the T-Cam when they had it to watch goings-on
on campus. After September 11, 2001, we lost our T-Cam. I was so pleased
to learn of your AmberCam. Even though we can no longer see the terrazzo,
it is wonderful to tune in to your Amber Cam and be able to see the
current weather in Colorado Springs. Just to see USAFA all nice and
safe in the background is very comforting to me as a mother. Thanks
again for sharing your AmberCam with all of us. Hi,
I just wanted to let you know I really enjoy taking a peak at the
Amber Cam whenever I can. It's a really great treat and I want to
thank you for providing it. I
just received the replacement. Thank so much. You amaze me with your
customer service. I
just received my order and, needless to say, am absolutely thrilled
with it. I
just wanted to send you a message to congratulate you on an excellent
site! Just
received my amber-encased beetle today and I must say it is beautiful
and far better than I expected. The amber is a nice color and beautifully
polished. The insect is clearly visible and fascinating. Congratulation
on your prompt attention to you order. It's always nice doing business
with a first-rate company! Just
a quick note to let you know that I received the gorgeous Blue Amber. My
piece of amber came in the mail yesterday! I Just love it. I took
all of my pieces to school today and looked under a microscope like
you said I should. It was amazing. I couldn't stop looking at them!
I kept on discovering new things in each of my pieces, it was so cool.
I will definitely do it again sometime. Your
Amber gift inspired a loved one to give me the book ''Life in Amber"
by George O. Poinar, jr....thank you. You have unknowingly made my
Christmas. I
just wanted to let you know that I received my amber jewelry order
Such
BEAUTIFUL Amber. Believe me your prices are very reasonable &
if my ship ever comes in I'll buy you out. It will have to be a Very
Large Ship. Mean time I will content myself by drooling all over my
key board, and keep checking back for those smaller pieces. Thank
you for the information, and a chance to see some of the most beautiful
amber I have ever seen.
Norma
Many thanks for my amber which arrived safely today. I am really pleased
with both pieces especially specimen # 5 spider. This is one of the
most beautiful pieces of amber I have ever seen and will take pride
of place in my collection.....I hope to purchase from you again in
the very near future.
Janet I
just got my amber and it's a really nice specimen. To tell the truth,
I was a little bit surprised that it's so nice because it was really
inexpensive. I ordered it for my husband's birthday and I know that
he'll love it. Thanks a lot, Doug!
These are great! I just recieved the pieces and I wanted to drop you
a line. What a value for the quality! I am ashamed to admit that i
have spent way more on some pretty crummy specimens. Thank you very
much, I will be purchasing from you again!
