Can I get a discount?

Multiple item purchases automatically have postage discounts applied at checkout. Items are also often reduced in price by 5-10% every four months when they are unsold and relisted. We will combine and discount postage with purchases made across our shops on Etsy. Trade or wholesale customers making purchases of £1000+ should get in touch. We will always do our best to price match if you have found a matching item priced cheaper on Etsy. If you require further detailed explanation on our pricing and policies please get in touch.

How quickly can I get this?

Items are usually dispatched within one working day from France. They typically arrive with customers 5-15 working days (1-3 weeks) after dispatch via our standard tracked and recorded delivery service. An express tracked and signed for upgrade is available at checkout and this usually takes 3-10 working days. We cannot guarantee any shipping times as we rely on assorted third parties for transit and cross border services. Please see our Etsy policies or get in touch for more detailed information on shipping.

Please check listing descriptions for sizes or alternatively photos for rulers. We add them in the listing header and again in the item description. You will also find a photo showing a mug for size perspective in most listings. If you require further measurements send us a message and we will get back to you promptly. Bear in mind a large majority of our less than great feedbacks come from customers who fail to check dimensions prior to purchase.

Do you ship to ... ? How much is postage to ... ?

We ship worldwide from France via tracked and insured postage services. All standard international postage prices are found in individual listings by clicking on the shipping tab or scrolling down. International standard postage usually takes 1-3 weeks from dispatch to arrive with customers. Express signed for upgrades are available at checkout which are usually quicker. We give automatic postage discounts on multiple item orders at checkout. Any postage charge overages will be refunded after dispatch. See more detailed information on postage in our shop policies section or get in touch.

We are based centrally in Normandy in France but have a number of storage and outlet locations. All of our stock is stored and dispatched from France. Personal collection of all of our stock can be arranged from our shop or office in Lower Normandy, France with 24 hours notice.

Can you gift wrap this for me?

Yes of course for a small extra charge. We use white tissue paper and finish off with a brown ribbon We can also include a card. Let us know the message you would like to include and if requested we will send you a picture of the wrapped item and card before we send it off. Select the gift wrap option at checkout.

Do you have any more / similiar items than those listed?

The large majority of our stock appears on Etsy. Nearly all of our stock appears on our own website (we always have more listing to do!). There is a chance that we may have different items and quantities than those that are listed here on Etsy immediately available from stock. We also keep tabs on a lot of outlets in our local areas and also have quite a network of colleagues throughout Western Europe, so we may be able to help source your special requirements. If you would like us to keep an eye out for something or source an item just let us know what you are after and your budget and we will let you know promptly if we can help.

Can I arrange my own shipping?

Yes you can. We can only give final parcel dimensions and weight when things are safely packed up but many of our customers arrange their own shipping for collection from our store. Please note, the item will become your responsibility once picked up by your courier. Ask for further information.

What if I change my mind? Or just don't like my item?

We operate a love it, or return it, no quibble, refund policy. We appreciate that things sometimes do not fit in or suit quite as expected, and as a result we are happy to provide refunds due to the very nature of online shopping. Buyers will be responsible for return transit costs. To qualify simply supply tracking details of the returned item clearly marking the item as returned goods/unwanted on the package. We will issue a refund for the item upon receipt.

Customs duties and taxes

We ship from France. For purchases outside of the European Union import taxes or VAT may apply. Buyers are responsible for investigating and paying any import duties that may be due for importing vintage and antique items into their own countries. If you refuse an item because you are asked to pay customs fees we cannot claim the original postage charge back and have to pay another charge to get the item returned to us. When the item gets back to us we can refund the item cost but not the postage cost. Please investigate customs duties first to avoid unnecessary costs for us both. Please do not ask us to under declare in customs paperwork. This is illegal and can lead to fines of 1000's of Euros. Your item will also not be insured.

Why EVE? - We have extensive experience of trading in antiques and collectables on Etsy for over fourteen years. We have sold online for over twenty years and have been in global retail for over thirty years working in the US, the Middle East and all over Europe. We ship thousands of parcels, of all shapes and sizes, flawlessly all over the world every year. We carry perhaps the biggest individual online selection of always at least 10000+ vintage and antique items sourced throughout Europe in our shops on Etsy and our own website. We offer a no quibble refund policy, even if you just change your mind.

PRICE MATCH - Have you found the same item in the same condition cheaper elsewhere? Give us a shout and send us a link to the item and we'll see what we can do. Where possible we will try to match or even beat our competitors' prices.

SHIPPING DISCOUNTS - We have 1000's of items in our Etsy stores and you will generally only pay postage on the heaviest item you buy. The rest, if they individually weigh less than 1kg each, are very often sent free (heavy items do incur an extra fee). Discounts will be automatically applied at checkout for multiple item orders. Shop across our two stores and we will combine postage and find the very best postage deal we can for you. Find out more about our shipping procedures, policies and pricing here: https://www.europeanvintageemporium.com/postage

PACKAGING – Where possible we use recycled or recyclable packaging (All new packaging options are available at checkout for an extra cost). Sometimes this is not possible; For example, paper tape will not stand up to the rigours of international shipping. We are though constantly evolving our business practices to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Did you know Etsy offset carbon emissions on all sales? In partnership with ecologi we also plant a tree for every sale we make on Etsy. You can find out more about this initiative here: https://www.europeanvintageemporium.com/environmentally-friendlier-business/

* Note. Postage from France falls into bands. Up to 2kg is a reasonable cost but anything over 2kg gets expensive. The more expensive bands are 2-5kg, 5-10kg, 10-20kg and 20-30kg. So when purchasing multiple orders, we can sometimes make savings over and above automatic postage discounts applied at checkout. For example, if you buy 4 items weighing 2kg each (allowing 2kg for packaging) we can pack those items into a 10kg package. Automatic discounts applied at checkout are usually pretty close but if you are considering multiple purchases and especially from more than one of our shops get in touch with details of the items you are considering buying and we will let you know if we can do any better on postage.
