September 6, 2004 -- Amish-Furniture-Gallery.com (http://www.amish-furniture-gallery.com) announced that customers can now see packing, shipping, and insurance charges in their shopping cart when they purchase online.
"We are the only online Amish furniture store that automatically calculates packing, shipping, and insurance charges and includes that amount in the shopping cart," said Tom Ireland, co-owner of Amish-Furniture-Gallery.com.
Ireland explained that when a customer shops at another online Amish furniture store, they must e-mail or call the store to determine the total delivery charges. The store then contacts their shipping company who usually takes a day or two to quote the charges. The whole process could take as long as four or five days. Shipping charges are difficult to calculate because they are based on complex government tariffs that take into account mileage, weight, and difficulty of delivery.
"With our technology," Ireland said, "customers can make a selection at our online Amish furniture store then order it immediately, even if it's two o'clock in the morning. They don't have to wait three or four days to find out how much it will cost to delivery the furniture. That's a real convenience to our customers."
Amish-Furniture-Gallery.com (http://www.Amish-Furniture-Gallery.com) is a private company based in Dayton, Ohio. It offers only handmade Amish furniture, including Amish Oak Furniture, by authentic Amish carpenters.

A leading furniture manufacturing firm has hailed Access Accounts for having ‘the strongest credit management system available’.
Pars Office Systems Ltd designs and manufactures prestige office furniture systems. It develops everything from futuristic workstation solutions to executive offices and corporate reception areas. One of its key customers is the Royal Mail who has awarded Pars the Gold First Class Supplier Award for three years consecutively
Jackie Dunkley, Management Accountant, looked to replace their ageing accounts system, placing credit control as a great priority. “We decided on Access Accounts because it had the strongest credit management system we could find,” she said. “The Chase Debtors facility allows you to build a telephone list of overdue accounts on screen and as you select each customer in the list the system shows you their phone number and contact name. While you are on the phone you can see what they said to you last time and reprint their statement or an outstanding invoice and then make a note of what they promise to do.”
Access MD Alistair O'Reilly said, " With our credit management everything is contained in one place - enabling you to forecast cash flow and chase debts without launching separate applications or switching between different screens. Credit Control is just one of 30 web-enabled Access Accounts modules. Every single module is designed to give you accounting the way you need it - functional technology, seamless integration, complete ease of use and full support."

Walpole, MA -- January 26, 2003 – Before you spend your hard-earned dollars on inferior furniture, find out the real facts of what goes into quality wood furniture. Ed McDonough, owner of Boston Accent Furniture, reveals all the secrets in his new book, “7 Steps to Buying Wood Furniture You’ll Love.”
Between the covers, McDonough states “The educated consumer is the person that always gets the greatest value for their dollar!” The book’s seven-step process educates the reader on the different types of furniture, the materials used to make it, the manufacturing techniques and how to spot the good from the bad. The goal is to instruct the reader how to determine the quality of furniture they want to purchase, by teaching them how it’s made, and then how to get it at a fair price.
The book also details the difference between standard production furniture and high quality handcrafted custom furniture. It exposes how quality goes down in production furniture as the speed to produce it increases. It arms the reader up front with all the knowledge they need to make the right decision.
As a bonus, McDonough has developed a simple process to guide the reader through determining what style of furniture will best fit their home and lifestyle. Here both functionality and décor come into play. The lesson concludes with a simple exercise that determines the “Buyer’s Index”, directing the reader to the appropriate furniture market to shop.
To close out the reading, Step 7 – Understand How Furniture Stores Sell, enlightens the reader on the techniques retailers use to “sell you” and why. It discusses how furniture prices are determined and how major furniture manufacturers impose a Minimum Advertised Price directly to the retailer, which causes the consumer’s price to go up!
Included in the back of the book is the Furniture Buyer’s Checklist to keep the reader on track when making their purchasing decision. This, along with over 25 secrets shared by the author, will lead to many successful purchases of quality wooden furniture.
For details on obtaining the book, please contact Boston Accent Furniture directly at 508-668-9564 or by e-mail at info@bostonaccentfurniture.com.
