If you would like us to do your artwork, you can design your own teepee cover and liner with our interactive feature “Design Your Own Teepee”. Go to ‘Start from Scratch’, design it, then click ‘Review and Order’ and send an e-mail copy to yourself first.  You can forward that e-mail with your personal notes to nomadics@tipi.com.  Alternatively, you can go back to the ‘Review and Order’ page and by scrolling further down, you can also ‘place an order’. Just put your name (country in parenthesis) and your phone number in it and 1111 for an order number if you do not have one yet. Hit ‘send’ and we will get a copy of your artwork idea. We will call you at the phone number you give us - please don’t forget your country code.

You can also send us the numbers of the artwork designs you would like, or your own designs or sketches directly to our e-mail.

This page has specific information for our European customers, but the procedures explained here are valid for any international inquiry. What differs is the price for shipping and the importation costs – please read along and then write Nicole an e-mail at nomadics@tipi.com with your additional questions.

Browse through our page Teepee Camps and Retreats Worldwide to find out if we already supplied a public campground or retreat center in your country with our teepees. You’ll find Nomadics Tipis to rent in England, Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland, France, Croatia, Lithuania, Romania, Japan, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Israel, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia. You might want to spend a few days in a teepee before you commit to having it in your backyard – and you can chat with the contact person about their experience importing a Nomadics Tipi from the USA. To see pictures from our worldwide customers, go to our Teepee Photo Gallery and scroll down to the bottom of the first page. This is where your teepee picture could be one day.

We welcome our international customers from around the world. While we sell teepees (tipis) in many countries - from Down Under to South America, Asia and Europe - our biggest international markets after Canada are Australia and Northern Europe. Australian and New Zealand teepee customers got their own page at Teepees Down Under, and honoring Nicole’s home country, she made a page in German for Indianerzelte in Deutschland.

Our most durable teepee cover is the 15oz Sunforger All Weather. It is made of 15oz. of cotton per square yard  (425gr/0.83sqm) and it is treated with a mold and mildew resistant Sunforger finish. It is our most durable fabric that can be left outside year around. The 13oz Sunforger is essentially the same fabric with less cotton per square yard (370gr./0.83sqm). We recommend this fabric for camping and set-up during the summer. The 13oz Sunforger flame resistant fabric is designed for public places such as campgrounds, retreat centers and vacation camps where there is a need to have a flame resistant fabric to comply with local fire code regulations. Although it is the most expensive fabric, it is not necessarily the best for individual use. With care, there is no problem making a fire in a 16ft and larger teepee made out of the non-flame resistant fabric – and if you are concerned, you can always choose a flame resistant teepee liner for the interior.

The Sunforger finish includes the maximum allowed level of mold and mildew inhibitor, and while it performs well in moderate to dry climates, we found that in consistently wet and humid climates (England, Northern Europe, Central American/Asia), this finish is not sufficient to keep mold and mildew away for the lifetime of your cover. If your teepee cover stays wet for weeks, you will need to re-treat it after every season to avoid mold and mildew build-up. Please be sure to read our section on care of your teepee  which explains how to avoid or treat mold and mildew issues.

Our 13oz. (370gr.) and 15oz. (425gr.) Sunforger packages are available in light tan or in a cream white color. The 13oz. Sunforger flame resistant cover and the 10oz. (285gr.) flame resistant liners are available in cream-white only. The package prices quoted below include all accessories needed for set-up, a stuff sack, a door, the cover, and a corresponding liner. For teepee sizes from 12ft to 20ft, a 6ft liner is adequate and included in the package. For teepee sizes of 22ft and 26ft, a 9ft liner is included. All you need in addition are poles. You will find further information about teepee poles and pole suppliers in Europe in the text below.

A teepee package sent with Fedex Economy comes in two cardboard boxes. One will have the teepee cover in it. The dimensions of the box will be 24x 20x12inch (60x 50x30cm). The other box will have the liner, door and accessories and has the dimensions 18x18x12inch (46x46x30cm). The weight of the shipment is indicated in the below chart. To find the correct price, first choose your teepee cover weight (13oz Sunforger or 15oz Sunforger All Weather) and then your size. Please be aware that freight prices will change if you add additional accessories to your order. All prices are estimates only, calculated in October 2012. Once you are ready to order, we will send you an invoice with exact freight costs calculated for your date of shipment.

Below you will find prices for England and for Northern Europe. Northern Europe includes Scandinavia, France, Germany, Benelux and Austria/ Switzerland. Freight costs differ slightly between northern European countries and depend on the exact area or zip code. Shipping costs to Eastern Europe or Southern Europe are roughly $30-$50 more expensive. For all other parts of the world, please e-mail us for a quote.

You might be pleasantly surprised by the  “low” prices you find on our pricelists. The perception of “low” obviously varies depending on the exchange rate of your local currency to the US Dollar. Besides this, it is true that our teepees here in the US are very affordable and we pride ourselves in keeping our prices as accessible as possible. Unfortunately, importing a teepee into your country requires you to pay additional taxes and duties and we want you to be aware of this, so you do not have any surprises. All prices stated on this site are in US Dollar unless otherwise specified.

First, be aware that you might be asked to pay Value Added Tax on the final price of the teepee including the cost of shipping. VAT is around 19% in most European countries, but ranges from 8% in Switzerland to 25% in Norway and 27% in Hungary. Duties for teepees of 100% cotton products are 15% in most countries. Adding this up, calculate around 30% or more on top of the price that is quoted for “package + freight” as shown in the table below. For Latin American countries, be prepared to pay much more, but then you are probably already well aware of the high cost of importing products from the USA.

What you see in the chart below as “package+freight” is the amount you will pay to us, with a Visa Card or by bank transfer. The additional 30% average might be charged by Fedex, although some customer report that they did not have to pay any extra. This might depend on the country we are sending to, please inquire with your local Fedex office. Whatever local charges there will be, you will need to pay them in your own country, in your local currency.

If you are interested in the 8ft kids tipi, we can ship it with or without the poles. The package without the poles costs $303 to France, $308 to Sweden, $313 to England and $318 to Eastern Europe. If you include the 22 x 4ft wooden dowels, it will cost $395 to France, $405 to Sweden, $420 to England and  $435 to Eastern Europe. For prices to all other countries, please e-mail us.

Once you decide to order a teepee from us, we will send you a written cost estimate including the actual shipping costs. Your total purchase must be prepaid before we ship. Unpainted teepees take about three weeks to arrive anywhere in the world, painted teepees can take 4 – 8 weeks, depending on the time of year. To speed your production time, please contact us as soon as possible. Knowing your intentions will help us plan and we can reserve a spot in the production line for you, so once you make your final decisions, we can ship your teepee out quickly.
