I'm editor of Melmac Central website and blog, and write articles on Melmac online. I also run the Living a Vintage Life podcast. Retro Chalet is a little seasonal boutique full of an eclectic mix of the treasures I find in my travels. Wife of a BBQ Pitmaster, I get to travel all over, I love anything unique and like to bring old things back to life! From junking at an old farm sale to buying remains of abandoned factories in small rural towns I have a bunch of treasure waiting to share with the world.. I'm also an assemblage artist and I love using old things and giving them new life. So you'll find the rescued, re-purposed, some of my original assemblage.... We own the Got Beef? ® trademarks I own and design using approved manufacturers. I make window props for shops, and when I have time I enjoy collecting and writing about 1950s melmac and run a website dedicated to old plastics, https://RetroChalet.blogspot.com aka "Melmac Central." Thanks for stopping by. Follow me on all social media channels @RetroChalet my latest stuff is on TIkTok https://tiktok.com/@retrochalet

Returns and exchange details
DAMAGE: High dollar items shipped UPS with applicable insurance. I pack like Fort Knox. Damages must be reported to me with photos and you must hold the item in case the carrier wishes to pick it up. If you are purchasing an item under $50 and desire insurance, please CONVO me.
LOSSES: I ship most items where you can track the package. I use delivery confirmation and once that item is delivered, I've done my job. Please keep an eye on the tracking and address immediate issues to your mail carrier. I can't be responsible for items lost or stolen because you had it delivered to your work, or left on your porch :( .
