What is the process of buying a Wooden Dummy from overseas?
If you live overseas, email us for a quote on the price of freight. We will then get back to you with a price and delivery time to your country's customs. Before the dummy may be shipped, you will need to organise an Import Permit with your own Customs / Quarantine in your country. We cannot do this for you, as every country has a different policy. If any further treatment to the timber is required (eg. fumigation), this will incur extra costs.

What is the quality of the finish of the Dummies?
The body is stained with coloured stain, and the frame is a natural polish.
There are imperfections in the Timber of my dummy and/or splits, will this affect the overall performance of the dummy?
There may be small marks or imperfections due the nature of timber, but this will not demerit the overall look of the Dummy, as it will be covered with a high quality stain.
Splits can occur in timber, which may be due to changes in weather and humidity. This is a natural occurance, and does not affect the performance or strength of the dummy. These will remain as surface splits, and customers should not be concerned that the split will penetrate deeply, maintaining full strength of the dummy body.
Are replacement arms/legs available?
Yes. I can send out replacement arms/legs, however, with the proper use of the Dummies, these should never break.
What is the warranty on the products?
If used correctly, the arms and legs shouldn't break. If the dummy is dropped / misused the warranty is void. Arms/legs are not covered under warranty, but with correct use should last a lifetime.
Dummies are handled with upmost care when manufacturing and packaging, and are freighted in custom made boxes which should ensure their safe arrival to destination. However, if some dints or marks occur due to transportation, Tribal Dummies cannot be held responsible.
Where can I put the Dummy?
The Dummy must be placed indoors or at least undercover with no exposure to the weather.
Can you make custom made dummies?
No. Dummies are made to specific measurements that should be suitable for everyone. The Attack style has an adjustable height, whereas the Tripod heights are as above.
