The Slovak Import Company was envisioned over 20 years ago
when I saw a large warehouse in Westchester, New York, that had a sign saying POLISH IMPORT COMPANY and I wondered why there
was none for Slovakia in the United States.
In 2000 I visited Slovakia, and decided to set up the
business. In 2001 I visited Slovakia again, and started the business. The
business started slowly because I had to learn how to do business in Slovakia
and the Slovaks had to learn to trust me. However, with the help of my fathers
family, and friends, the business took off.
To reduce shipping costs from Slovakia, the Slovak Import Company is now
shipping in bulk from Slovakia and storing the products in the US. Many
products are now available in the US, but not all. What is not available in the
US will be shipped directly to your doorstep, via the US Post Office from
Slovakia. Whether the products are shipped directly from Slovakia, or the US,
the shipping cost per item is less, the more you purchase.
If you need a item in a hurry we can ship via UPS from Slovakia.The cost is
usually a $100 and more.
If you are thinking of buying large quantities from Slovakia, the prices quoted
in this website do not apply. Email or call me for a firm quote.
Here you will find many products
produced in Slovakia, such as Crystal & Glass, China, Modra Ceramics,
Books in English or Slovak, Christmas Decorations, Leather products, Fujara's,
Maps, CD's, Lace, Bethlehem Nativity sets, hand made Slovak Churches and
Homes, Wood Art, plus many other items under Odds & Ends. If you see
anything of interest to you, or would like to buy something other than that
which is presented on the following pages below, please email me for a firm
price, delivered to your doorstep, and to make payment to my bank account
in the US.
If you would like
photographs of your ancestrial villages taken from the ground, plane or
helicopter, please email me for a firm price.
If you wish to send a gift,
money, or a fruit basket to someone in Slovakia, the Slovak Import Company
will do it at cost for you. If you would please give us a telephone
number, we will call your people and notify them that a package is being
sent to them by you. A card with your name and address will be included
with each package.
I am also thinking of
sending 10 KG packages to needy families in Slovakia. If any of you know
of any persons, and/or families who could use a package, send me there
address. If you would like to contribute, that would be sincerely
appreciated. The prices are as follows: (At the bottom of this Home Page
