Frequently asked questions
What is your return policy?
Due to the nature of vintage, antique, handmade, and plant items, each piece is unique and may show signs of age, variation, or natural characteristics. Please review all photos and descriptions carefully before purchasing.
Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery for eligible items. Items must be returned in their original condition. Buyers are responsible for return shipping. Custom or personalized items, plants, and final-sale vintage items are not eligible for return.
Do you accept cancellations?
Cancellations are accepted within 2 hours of purchase. Due to the nature of one-of-a-kind, vintage, handmade, and plant items, orders cannot be cancelled once processing has begun.

How long does shipping take?
Orders are typically processed within 5–7 business days. Shipping times vary depending on the shipping method selected at checkout and your location.
Estimated delivery dates shown by Etsy include both processing time and transit time.
Where do you ship?
At this time, Stillroot Mercantile ships within the United States only. This helps ensure items arrive safely and allows for careful packing of fragile and one-of-a-kind pieces.

At this time, gift wrapping is not offered. However, items are packaged with care and attention to detail. If you would like a short gift note included, feel free to leave a message at checkout and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
What condition are vintage and antique items in?
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and may show signs of age, wear, or patina consistent with their history. Any notable flaws or imperfections are described and photographed to the best of my ability.
If you have questions about an item’s condition, please feel free to message me before purchasing.
Do you accept custom orders or holds?
Custom orders and item holds are not currently offered. Each listing is one-of-a-kind and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Care instructions
Question:
How should I care for vintage or antique items?
Answer:
Vintage and antique items are pre-owned and may show signs of age or patina. To preserve their condition, I recommend gentle handling and cleaning with mild, non-abrasive materials. Avoid harsh chemicals, dishwashers, or soaking unless explicitly noted in the listing.
These items are meant to be enjoyed with care and appreciation for their history.
Do you provide care instructions for plants?
Answer:
Basic care guidance is included when applicable. Please note that plant care can vary based on environment, light, and climate. Buyers are responsible for providing appropriate care once plants arrive.
Due to their living nature, plants are not eligible for return.
