From the navigation bar, click the "Gemshow Entrance" tab and then enter the "Wholesale Section." You will proceed to a log-in screen. If you are a new user, click on the "Register Now" button to go to the wholesale registration form. Please fill in all the spaces marked with an asterisk, particularly your Business Name and Retail Tax Number blanks. Within 2 to 3 business days, a member of our management will contact you either by email or by phone to confirm your registration. Now, all you need to do is enter your user ID and password to access our wholesale products.

If you ever forget either your password or your user ID, click the appropriate link below the blank. The assistance page will show up, asking you for both your secret question and its answer. If you answer both correctly, you will be given access to your missing information. Note that you must know either you username or your password to be admitted to the secret question page.

When you arrive at the wholesale section, you will see a list of item categories. Select a category on the homepage to see the list of items in that category. When you see an interesting item, click on the item title to access the item content page. Each page has an image of the item, a short description, dimension details, and a wholesale price tag. Click on the "Order" button to purchase that item.

After clicking the "Order" button, you will see the shopping cart with the item that you want inside. There will be a blinking number next to the total purchase price. This number indicates the minimum amount that you must spend in order to buy from that particular vendor. For example, if the vendor has indicated a minimum order of $100.00, the grand total of your purchases before you check out much total $100.00. If you do not meet this amount, you may click on the "Shop For More" button and add additional items to the shopping cart. Your totals will be altered automatically.

If you want to buy more or less of a certain item, merely change the quantity and click on "Recalculate." This will display a new shopping cart with your new total clearly indicated. When you are ready to check out, just click on the "Order Now" button. You may be prompted to enter your userID and password again - please do so. Once you have successfully completed your order, you will see a congratulations page. Please remember that although Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are generally accepted, each of our vendors has his own payment options.

Our first step in processing orders is to verify the customer's credit card information. If the Credit Card and the Billing Address match those provided by your bank, we know that the charge is coming from the owner of the card. If the billing address and shipping address are different we contact the customer and ask for their written permission to ship to another address. We must have this formal consent in order to ship out. No exceptions. In this way we can help protect against credit card fraud.

Unfortunately our credit card service does not connect to other international countries. For international orders for a new customer our company policy requires a photocopy of the credit card (both sides) and a personal id (both sides) with the same shipping address. Please fax these to us with your signature for the order to 1-301-528-8234. Please make sure the copier is on a lighter ink so visibility will be greater.

You may pay using Paypal. Paypal is a safe and easy way for our international customers to make payment. Simply go to www.paypal.com and register with them. Once that has been done please let us know and we will provide you with the total amount due for the order. Log into your Paypal account and send us your payment (we will provide all information once you confirm your account has been set up).
