Welcome to the namesake island which for centuries stood as a bastion of commerce and culture, a trading crossroads to half the known world. Welcome, to Zanzibar Trading Company.
We pride ourselves on our dedication to authenticity, fair trade, and the very highest quality merchandise possible. From Africa to India, Papua New Guinea to Peru, our online galleries offer a virtual market bazaar.
At last count we offer over 9,000 items from over one hundred countries around the world! Only a fraction of our inventory is online, as most are one-of-a-kind items. Be sure to visit our retail gallery in Sacramento, California for the best selection.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS We sincerely appreciate these orders, however currently our system does not generate accurate shipping charges for international orders. We will contact you with approx. shipping rates once you place your order. Please note, we NO LONGER SHIP Wood Print blocks to England, as we have had multiple returns due to excessive duty (it is your responsibility to check with your local government or customs about any duties and or fees that may result from our shipping products to you. You are responsible for all duties and or import fees. England apparently has very high import duties and we can no longer ship items to England, with regrets.
SHIPPING CHARGES: We make every effort to ensure our quoted shipping rates are accurate, however this is not always the case. We reserve the right to charge ACTUAL shipping charges (including Signature Confirmation and Insurance). Please note that the quoted shipping is merely AN ESTIMATE and the actual amount will vary depending on weight of item, size of box used, shipping service, and your location from our warehouse. Thank you for understanding. USUALLY our system GROSSLY OVER ESTIMATES SHIPPING - we only charge actual shipping. So don't let the shipping scare you!
