Great service, especially at this busy time of year. Sarah sent me a message saying that she couldn’t guarantee that I’d get it for Christmas, but she dispatched the next day and it arrived in time, beautifully packaged! Highly recommend!

Very pleased with my purchase, it arrived safely, very well wrapped. The blue colourway is quite difficult to find and the wooden lid is lovely, my other large storage jar has a plastic one, and I managed to find a new seal. Very happy!

Payment

Magpie&Hen accepts PayPal, most major credit cards, and Apple Pay. Please see individual items for more information.

Shipping

All items will be sent out First Class, but let me know if you'd like me to use Second Class or Recorded delivery and postage costs will be adjusted accordingly. Please be aware that parcels may require a signature upon receipt.

Goods are dispatched 1-3 days after payment has cleared (Monday-Saturday).

I only post to the UK presently, due to Brexit issues and new International laws. However if you really interested in something, please contact me and we can try and arrange delivery.

Please note, I try and recycle packaging materials where possible.

Additional policies and FAQs

When buying vintage items from Magpie&Hen, please be aware that they are old and used, and therefore their condition and overall appearance may reflect this (see the product information for a more detailed description of each object). As many of the items are toys and games, I would suggest supervised play with younger children.

I cannot guarantee that items haven't previously come from a smoke and pet-free home.
