Trade Account FAQs

Here is a list of frequently asked questions and answers about our trade accounts.

Surcharge

Has your surcharge changed?

Yes — and it's good news. We have reduced our previous 10–15% Tariff Surcharge down to a flat 5% Surcharge on all new orders placed on or after April 20, 2025.

While the Supreme Court struck down certain tariffs, new tariffs have since been introduced under separate legislation, which continues to impact our costs. Combined with rising fuel costs, we have worked hard to absorb as much of this as possible and are pleased to pass on these savings with a significantly reduced surcharge.

This applies to new orders only. All existing orders remain unchanged under their original terms.

We continue to review this regularly and remain committed to keeping costs as low as possible for our customers.

Will the surcharge be removed completely in the future?

That is absolutely our goal. The current surcharge reflects temporary increases in our operational costs and we are actively working to reduce and ultimately eliminate it as conditions improve.

We will update this page as soon as there are any further changes. Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Getting Started

What types of Trade Accounts does Amity Home offer?

Amity Home offers two types of Trade Accounts:

  • Stocking Dealer Account – For retail stores and accounts that commit to maintaining in-store inventory of Amity Home products.
  • Non-Stocking Dealer Account – For accounts that order on a per-need basis without holding standing inventory.

Each account type has its own opening order minimum and reorder requirements.

How do I apply for a Trade Account?

You may apply for a Trade Account in two ways:

  • Fill out the New Account Application Form on the website, or
  • Contact the Customer Service team to request an application.

All new accounts must complete a Customer Information Form and are subject to approval by Amity Home. Amity Home reserves the right to decline any account at its sole discretion.

How long does it take to be approved?

Approval typically takes 1–2 business days. You will receive an email notification once your account has been approved.

I applied but haven’t heard back — what should I do?

If you have not heard back after 3 business days, please contact us. Your approval email may have gone to your spam folder.

Can I view products and pricing while I wait for approval?

Yes, you can browse the website while your application is being reviewed. However, trade account pricing, purchase terms, and account-specific options will not be visible until your account has been approved.

Account Types & Minimum Orders

What is a Stocking Dealer Account?

A Stocking Dealer is a retail store or account that actively stocks Amity Home products in their location. Stocking Dealers receive the benefit of no minimum reorder requirement.

Stocking Dealer Minimums:

  • First (Opening) Order: $1,500
  • Annual Purchase Minimum: $15,000
  • Reorder Minimum: $0 (no minimum)

Any account with no activity in the previous 12 months and below the annual minimum will be closed and would need to be reactivated.

What is a Non-Stocking Dealer Account?

A Non-Stocking Dealer is an account that orders on a per-need or per-project basis without maintaining standing inventory.

Non-Stocking Dealer Minimums:

  • First (Opening) Order: $500
  • Annual Purchase Minimum: $1,500
  • Reorder Minimum: $0 (no minimum)

Total orders below the annual minimum will result in the account being closed and requiring reactivation.

What happens if my account falls below the annual purchase minimum?
  • Stocking Dealer accounts will be moved to Non-Stocking Dealer pricing.
  • Non-Stocking Dealer accounts will need to meet the minimum again to reinstate their account.

Amity Home reviews accounts periodically and reserves the right to adjust account status based on current credit worthiness or past due accounts.

What payment methods do you accept for new accounts?

All opening orders for new accounts must be prepaid by one of the following methods:
