About Us

What about us? 1st Dragon combines the talents of two business people with a combined retail experience of over 30 years. Straddling the continents we are based in the USA but have buyers living overseas to search for the best in beauty. We like to think we combine the proverbial wisdom of the Asian dragon with his speed in travel and taste in the finer things. Years of overseas buying and stateside customer service have made us 1st Dragon.

What about our inventory? "A Dragon's Treasure Hoard." We hope that phrase sums up our inventory and this website. After over a decade of searching the world and our backyard, we have selected choice pieces that will thrill you with the exotic and stun you with their beauty. Our collection is not bound by one country or time, only by beauty and taste. Make sure you use our search engine so you don't miss anything. Check back with us continually because our inventory ebbs and flows depending upon which country a new shipment comes.

What about our reliability? Not only have we traveled the USA and the world but our customers also come from across the USA and around the world. We have shipped pieces to Europe, Asia and every State in the Union. Worldwide we are known for our honesty and integrity.

Our team has years of Internet selling experience and shipping experience. Our email is checked constantly and is normally answered between 7 AM and 10 PM Pacific Standard Time. Purchases on weekdays are normally shipped same day and on the weekends the following Monday. (Items paid with by personal check are an exception and noted below.) We are no strangers to doing business on the Internet and will be glad not only to help you with your purchase but we'll make you feel comfortable with the transaction as well.

What about our policies? We've tried to make shopping as pleasant for you as possible. We accept all major credit cards (secured by an encrypted server), personal checks and money orders. Although some of our customers have sent cash through the mail, we do not recommend it. Items purchased by personal check will be shipped after your check clears our bank. We guarantee our inventory to be as represented. Due to the nature of our inventory, many of the items are one of a kind therefore all sales are final. However, we will cheerfully accept returns if the item was not as represented but returns must be confirmed with 1st Dragon within thirty days of the date of purchase. All items are shipped fully insured and you may pick your method of shipping but we normally ship USPS. Damage done during shipment is the responsibility of the shipping company and its insurance. In the unlikely event of shipping damage, we will work with the shipping company to process your claim. Over 99% of the items we have shipped over the years have arrived without any difficulty.
