Will the Salt Bubble Burst?: We are just beginning the growth curve of this category here in the USA, where Natural Crystal Salt Lamps have gone from a curiosity to a burgeoning trend over the past 3 years. Within a couple of years American consumers will grow to accept these Salt Lamps as the Europeans do… both as a decorative addition to the home or office and as a healthy addition to their personal indoor environment.

Importing Directly…Risky Business: If you are thinking of importing Salt Lamps directly from the Middle East or Poland you will need a great deal of patience and good fortune. In using the Internet the world has truly become a smaller place and the premise of being able to carry on global trade from your office in the USA is very attractive. Unfortunately we all learn through experience that that the business ethic of entrepreneurs in the USA is not the same as that in other countries.

Many promises are made regarding quality, price and speed of delivery that turn out to be false and can prove to be a financial disaster. With most exporters requiring 100% payment in advance you will have no recourse if you do not receive what you thought you ordered. The other maxim “Caveat Emptor” … Buyer Beware!

When we first started, we trusted a supplier we found on the Internet. We agreed on prices and quality standards and placed our order. We nervously made our advance payment for the lamps and shipping costs and waited nervously. 8 weeks later we found ourselves the not-so-proud owner of 40,000 pounds of Salt Lamps. 40% of them were wet, moldy and dirty, with wood bases that were cracked and discolored. Many of our Salt Tea Lights had irregular sized holes that didn’t fit the candles and broken brittle plastic feet.

We have learned from our mistakes and have traveled repeatedly to the Salt Mines at the Foothills of the Himalayas to work directly with our mining/manufacturing partners who, through equity investments in each other’s businesses, have a vested interest in providing us, and in turn you, with the best available product. Our well established face-to-face partnerships with the mine operators and with a selected group of skilled craftspeople who create the finest quality products and provide them to us, to our specifications, at fair prices directly benefit you and save you a great deal of potential grief.
