This Vintage Life...

'THIS VINTAGE LIFE' IS AN ONLINE RETAILER ONLY AND DOES NOT PRODUCE A CATALOGUE.

Ordering

Once you have placed all the items you want in your shopping cart, please proceed to the checkout where you will be guided through the simple and secure payment process. This Vintage Life will only use your name and address for the purpose for which it was given and these details will never be shared with a third party or seen by us.

Payment

UK Buyers

We accept payment by all major credit and debit cards, but only via Paypal. It is simple to register and free. You do not require a Paypal account. Just go to www.paypal.co.uk. You can of course pay with a paypal balance. Please can customers make sure that the address on their Paypal account is also the delivery address for their order.

We are unable to accept cheques but can accept postal orders. After you have completed your order you will be sent an email with all the details you need about where to send your postal order. Please ensure your payment arrives within seven working days. Goods will be held for you for this period of time and then may be offered for sale again.

International buyers

We welcome customers from outside the UK. Paypal is the only method of payment we can accept from international buyers. Please also see below.

Delivery

Delivery costs vary between each product. Once you have placed an item in your shopping cart you will be able to see the delivery cost for that item. You can still remove it a this point!

Multiple Orders

We are more than happy to combine postage costs if you are ordering more than one item. This isn't always possible as a multiple order can cost the same as sending several things individually but we will try our best to save you money if we can. Please let us know via the Contact page what you would like to purchase and a postage cost will be emailed to you. We regret partial postage refunds cannot be issued after you have purchased and paid so please do enquire about postage discounts BEFORE ordering.

We aim to despatch parcels within 72 hours of receiving payment but please allow up to 14 days for delivery especially in the case of bank holidays, postal strikes etc. Please note that larger items and furniture may now take up to seven days to be despatched.

If a delay is expected we will keep you informed via email.

Parcels are automatically insured up to the value of £39.00 against loss or damage (there are exceptions to this; notably breakables such as glass or china) Goods over the value of £39.00 will be sent without insurance unless this is specifically requested and paid for separately so please be aware of this before ordering. Uninsured items are sent entirely at your own risk and This Vintage Life cannot be held responsible for any loss or breakages thereafter.

In some instances, there may be an additional cost involved in shipping to the Channel Islands. Please email before purchasing for confirmation.

This Vintage Life will not be held responsible for a delayed delivery once it is in the hands of a third party.

Wherever possible we use recycled packaging. This has two advantages. It cuts down on waste (always a good thing!) and also keeps the cost of delivery down.

International

We are happy to ship worldwide. There are some exceptions to this and the items that are not available for posting overseas will be clearly marked as such.Delivery costs quoted are for the UK only. Please email for a shipping cost before ordering. We ship internationally via Airmail only.

Returns

Please be aware that the items we sell at This Vintage Life have been previously used and will consequently show some signs of wear commensurate with age. What we consider a major fault or damage will always be brought to your attention in the description but an item is likely to have some general wear in addition to that. Items will not be refunded due to general patina of age. However, your complete satisfaction is our ultimate goal and if you are unhappy with your purchase in any way, you may return it in the condition in which it was received and in the original packaging for a full refund minus original and any additional postage costs. We accept returns within 10 working days of receipt. It is stongly recommended that you send returns via a secure delivery method such as recorded delivery for your own peace of mind.

Condition of goods

The vast majority of the items we sell are vintage and as such have a charm all of their own. All will have some wear commensurate with age. Any major faults will be brought to your attention in the description. However if 'brand new' is what you're after then This VIntage Life is probably not for you. We are always happy to provide you with additional images or information ~ just ask!

All sizes are approximate.
