About leapinglemming
Take a Flying Leap Into a Wonder Shop of Vintage Splendor!
Even back in the day when we were both "pre-vintage" we loved all things old. That love developed into necessity because when we were first starting out, we lived on that little plastic thing on the END of the shoestring. We discovered that there was a wonderful world of garage sales, flea markets, and second-hand stores with amazingly cool stuff to decorate our home on the cheap. After years of acquiring fun and interesting finds, we started running out of room to put them and decided to start selling a few things off. In May of 2010 we "took the leap" and opened The Leaping Lemming Antiques & Vintage and haven't stopped. We run The Leaping Lemming from our rural home in a mountain valley in northern Idaho. When we're packing your vintage purchase we just might also be watching a moose or flock of turkeys out the window.
We love our customers and take great pleasure in passing along the special treasures we find to new homes.

Returns and exchange details
We accept returns on items within 14 days of receipt. If you are returning an item for whatever reason, contact us within 14 days to arrange for a return. Once we receive the item back in good condition, a full refund (less original shipping cost*) will be issued to you. Even if you received "FREE SHIPPING", we still incur shipping expenses to send an item to a buyer and those expenses are included in the original price of the item. The buyer is responsible for any return shipping charges as well as the original shipping charges* unless we deem that an item was not as described or was received damaged. Returned items must be in original condition with all original parts and be packed well for damage-free shipping.
*Note that we offer many items with "free shipping" which in reality is "shipping costs included in price" as there is no such thing as truly free shipping unless you pick up the item directly from us. That said, if you are returning an item to us for reasons beyond "not as described", the actual shipping costs that we incurred to ship the item to you will be deducted from the return refund.
Payment
Shipping
We take great care in packing items but on rare occasions an item can be damaged in shipping. All items shipped within the USA are automatically insured against damage. If your item arrives damaged contact us within 5 days from the delivery date so we can process a claim/refund.
We are not responsible for items delivered to your home or business that are lost or stolen after delivery has been confirmed. If you would like us to require a signature upon delivery, please let us know prior to ordering and we will add that option for a nominal cost.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING-
We are happy to ship internationally on most items but realize that heavy and/or bulky items will be very expensive to ship so we may note on an item that international shipping is not available.The most cost-effective means for shipping internationally is by U.S. Postal Service (either First Class or Priority International mail) but tracking is often unavailable for items sent this way. International delivery times vary from country to country. An item may take anywhere from 7 to 30 days and occasionally longer and depends upon customs or local delivery delays. We have shipped many items all over the globe with very few problems, but items can get lost or stolen along the way. Should an item be lost in the mail, we will provide you with a copy of the U.S Customs form which is proof that we sent the item. The international buyer will be responsible for contacting their own country's customs/mail officials to trace a lost item's whereabouts. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE DELIVERY OF ITEMS SHIPPED OUTSIDE THE U.S.A.
Also note that the international buyer is responsible for any duty or customs fees charged by your country.
Additional policies and FAQs
FURNITURE-
Some large/bulky furniture items may come to you partially disassembled to keep your shipping costs down and we will state that on the item description. The buyer is responsible for correctly reassembling an item. If you have any questions about reassembly or are not certain that you have reassembled properly, please contact us prior to using the item. If you would prefer to have an item sent to you fully assembled--contact us prior to purchasing so that we can provide a shipping cost for a fully assembled piece. Note- some items may not be available for shipping if they are not partially disassembled. Fully assembled pieces are always available for local pick-up.
ELECTRONICS-
We attempt to describe items as best we can but be aware that vintage appliances and electrical devices may have electrical hazards so the buyer is responsible for any risks in use of them.
