Frequently, (or at least occasionally) Asked Questions About

1. Who is D'Antiques, Ltd.?
   We are a home business created and owned by Dan Dotson and Marilyn Saul, a married couple with eclectic tastes and a shared love for the Unique. Although we have limited space to store the things we can't come home without, we have discovered that our tastes are shared by many others, some of whom are willing to buy our 'Extra Ordinary Junk'. D'Antiques, Ltd. is nearly 12 years old (you may confirm this through a Whois query for dantiques.com), during which time we have successfully completed more than 9400 transactions! We have shipped to ALL 50 states, the District of Columbia, most Canadian provinces and MANY other countries!
   The following map shows the extent to which we have distributed junk around the world.

Unlike many other Web sites, this is our primary storefront, not a sideline. Although we have always wanted the store to be fun, we take our business seriously and try to respond to questions and orders promptly. We deliver over 90% of our shipments within the time estimates provided when items are ordered. We also take pride in packing shipments in a manner that assures their safe arrival. Damage in shipment has been reported in much less than 1% of our shipments, and we have shipped many fragile items. This is not hype, it's the reality of our dedication to provide high quality service.

• How do I order items from D'Antiques?
  This is covered in our Business Policies Section
• How can I contact D'Antiques?
  
• Do you buy things?
  Everything you see in our catalog we bought somewhere. (We sometimes ask ourselves 'why?' when we get home but that's our problem!) As to Web purchases, we have bought many things by that means as well and nearly every transaction has gone smoothly. If you have interesting items that you are willing to sell at a wholesale price, you may write to us (see Contact Info above) and tell us what you have, its condition, your asking price and, if we have not done business before, a list of Web references.

I was not expecting to receive them so soon after ordering them and was delighted when they arrived so quickly. Its amazing considering they came all the way from the U.S to the U.K. Anyway, I just thought I'd write and let you know how much I appreciate such a professional and efficient service. Keep up the good work."

  After receiving an obsolete card game, Terry told us "Thanks so much. My 8-year-old and I played it for two hours this evening. She loves it. So many memories came flooding back, of me playing it with my grandmother. I'm gonna have to check out what else you have!"
  
  One of the pleasant surprises in this enterprise has been the response we receive when customers receive their orders. There have been many other wonderful ones, but we would hate to bore you. :)
