How AHD works

Setting up a purchasing account will enable you to:

• Save time and money by filling a container with product from our online warehouse.
• Increase sales by pre-selling items before they've arrived.
• Retain customers. If you don't have what they want in stock, chances are they'll be able to find something they like in our warehouse which is a live representation of thousands of one of a kind antiques, reproduction and decorative items.
• Focus on sales as we'll take care of your container until it arrives to your door.

To set up a purchasing account click the "Log In" button found on the above menu at the top of the page. It will take you to the Customer Log In page. On the Log In page click the "Create An Account" button which will take you to a simple form which needs to be completed.

Once you complete the form it will take 48 hours for your user name and password to be activated. A confirmation email will be sent to you when your account has been activated.

Purchasing accounts are reserved for bulk and wholesale clients only.

Some cool features of our ordering system are:

• The container-fill status which is a visual representation of how full your container is.
• A running total of pieces in your container, ordered cubic meters, total cost.
• The ability to order custom production pieces that are only available to you.
• Product comparison.
• Clean user interface.
• One step order completion (check-out).

Once you've logged in you will be taken to your Account Dashboard. If you have not already done so, you will need to open a new container order by pressing the "Open Container Order" button. Enter your container size, desired ship date, confirm your shipping address and that's it. You can start adding items to your container.

The availability of each antique you place into your contianer will be confirmed by AHD staff. If it is no longer available we will let you know and send you alternative suggestions via email.

Our online warehouse is comprised of many authentic one of a kind pieces of furniture. These items are kept in our supplier warehuoses throughout Northern China. From time to time an item you have placed into your container order may not be available. If this situation occurs AHD will let you know and send you alternative suggestions via email.

For us to begin to confirm your order, we require a down payment for 10% of the estimated container value.
Roughly (20ft / 40ft / 40HC): $1,000 / $1,500 / $2,000

Once your container is full, or you are happy with your order, simply press the "Check Out" button located in the menu at the top of the page. Your order will then be shown. If you need to add, delete or change the quantity of any product click the "Edit Your Cart" button found at the bottom of your Order Review.

You can take as long as you need to arrange the perfect product mix. We do however recommend you place your order as early as possible. It is true that the longer you take to confirm your order the more 'antique' your product can become, it is our experience that the longer things take the messier they can get.

However if everything looks good to you then press the "Place Order" button.

Once you've placed your order we will provide you with a pro-forma invoice. Using the proforma invoice and the After which time we recommend you to send us a Priority Packing List.

When we receive this along with the second down payment for 60% of the actual pro-forma invoice value, we will schedule the loading and begin packaging of your furniture.
