To place an order, the only way to get all the details correct is to give us a phone call at (541) 389-3980. We much prefer to talk to you on the phone than via e-mail. Our mailing address is Nomadics Tipi Makers, 17671 Snow Creek Road, Bend, OR 97701. Faxes can be sent to 541-389-3980 during business hours. We enjoy the personal connection with each person and will always take the time to answer any questions you might have. We just ask you not to ponder design decisions while on the phone with us, please do this before or after the conversation. Deutschsprachige Tipi-Freunde können sich hier auf deutsch informieren.

We usually ship unpainted tipi orders within 14 days, although that time may become slightly longer during our busy months. Painted tipis may take three to six weeks to be shipped, depending on when you order. Our busiest months are March - June. To avoid a wait, please order as soon as you can! This helps us out, too. Orders must be fully paid before we ship, but you can place the order and then come back with your decision on your artwork a bit later. This places you in line in our painting schedule. As payment, we accept credit cards, cashiers check, money order or a wire transfer to our account. We give volume discount on orders of two tipis or more if you pay via wire transfer to our bank account.

Tipis are shipped via UPS Ground within the United States and Canada. Tipi poles are shipped seperately via freight truck (Please! Be available to receive your packages and poles when they arrive - you will be charged if they are returned to us as undeliverable). We also ship our tipis all over the world. International orders ship via Fedex Economy to your address. For more information please visit our page Teepees Worldwide, or Teepees Down Under for Australia and New Zealand.

We invite all our international customers to e-mail Nicole, although sometimes it might take a little time for us to get back to you with an answer when you inquire via e-mail. Nicole speaks fluent English, German and Spanish as well as some French, Portuguese and Italian. Our e-mail is nomadics@tipi.com. Please always include a phone number when you write us. For immediate assistance, please call the shop at 1-541-389-3980, Mon-Fri 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Pacific Time. All customers from the USA, please do not e-mail us if you can call instead. It is more efficient, more personal and you'll get your answers much more quickly. Thank you.

With all of our full size tipis purchased for the USA, we include the gift of a traditional "Smudge Stick". For international orders, we do not add it to your package in order to avoid any difficulties with importing plant material. Traditional Native American smudge sticks are made with white sage and sweet grass. The smudge stick is burned as a ritual gesture to insure that peace and good fortune pervade the space of your tipi. The different tipi tribes of the Great Plains have their own cultural belief systems about the smudge stick ritual, but in general it is used to purify one's self or one's space. With ritual gestures it is offered to the four cardinal directions and to the Great Spirit. The rising smoke helps connect the lodge owner to their Spirit Helpers and Power Animals and carries this intention to the Sky World above where the Spirit Beings and the Ancestors live. We sell additional smudge sticks for $3. Just ask us.

Below are all the prices for each size of tipi. The most commonly ordered size, our 18ft., is highlighted for your convenience. To choose the artwork for your tipi cover, liner and door, please go to the Hand Painted Artwork section or see the Artwork Pricelist below.

The discounted pole prices to the left are package prices and apply only if you purchase a tipi package that includes a tipi cover. If you are looking for poles only, the prices for a set of poles is given on the far right column.

All poles are shipped peeled. Once your poles arrive, you will need to do the final smoothing and weatherization of the tipi poles yourself. The process is not difficult or time consuming, and you will have years of satisfaction looking up at your tipi poles and knowing that you participated in their beauty and longevity. We give detailed instructions both on our website and in our set-up instruction manual. An electric sander or planer is all that you need to do the final smoothing of the already hand-peeled surface. After smoothing, thoroughly coat your finished pole with a good quality wood penetrant / preservative. Boiled linseed oil is a good natural product. You can also find an environmentally friendly product at www.seal-once.com.

Shipping costs for tipi poles have gone up considerably. Please call us for a quote to your zip-code. Poles are always shipped by motor freight; they usually take 7 to 21 days for delivery and you must be present and available for unloading when they arrive. Tipi Poles and all freight must be prepaid.
