CANCELLATIONS
I will accept cancellations for a full refund on any order that has not shipped yet. If the item has already shipped, you may return it minus shipping fees unless the item is defective or not as described.

RETURNS
Items may be returned for any reason within 14 business days from the delivery date for a refund via your payment method minus shipping fees.

Full refunds including shipping will be given for items that are damaged, lost or if there is an error in the description. In these cases return shipping will also be covered but you must contact me BEFORE returning an item for shipping instructions. If a package is returned without prior authorization using a more expensive method than it was shipped with, the additional shipping charges will NOT be covered.

DAMAGED ITEMS
All items are packaged securely but if you receive a damaged item, please DO NOT throw away the packaging materials as they may be needed for evidence of damaged claims.

Payment is accepted by major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover & American Express) through Etsy's checkout system or through PayPal.

Taxes:
Massachusetts sales tax of 6.25% is charged for applicable orders shipped within Massachusetts.

Some items including clothing and certain accessories are tax exempt in Massachusetts under $175. For items over $175, sales tax is applicable only to the amount over $175. Etsy's system does not allow the tax rate to be partially applied so you will be charged sales tax on the full amount when you order but you be refunded for the extra tax.

Some states and countries are now requiring Etsy to collect sales tax on applicable items. Sellers do not have any control over those as the tax is collected and paid for through Etsy.

Shipment is made via the USPS within 3 business days of receiving payment, unless otherwise noted. If you need your package shipped the same day or next day please send a message BEFORE placing an order and you will be notified if that is possible.

Delivery confirmation and tracking is included on orders within the USA and to some international destinations. All items are insured against loss or damage. Shipping prices include postage, insurance and packaging materials.

All items are shipped in a padded envelope or sturdy cardboard box. Items are packaged with tissue paper, plastic bubble wrap and biodegradable cornstarch packing peanuts. The cornstarch packing peanuts will dissolve in water. If you prefer that cornstarch peanuts aren't used please include a message with your order.

Shipping Delivery Times

USA Shipping:
Packages up to 16 oz are mailed via USPS 1st class mail unless another method of shipping is selected. Standard 1st class shipping time is 2 to 5 business days. Most packages over 16 oz will be shipped via USPS Priority mail in most cases which takes 1 to 3 days based on location.

Books without advertising shipped alone can be shipped at the lower Media Mail rate. Vintage Magazines and yearbooks have advertising and are not allowed in Media Mail.

Occasionally there are delays within the USPS though so please allow up to 21 days for orders to arrive from the date of shipment within the US. If your order does not arrive in this time frame, you will receive a full refund after completing an insurance form.

International Shipping:
International shipping time may vary. Packages up to 4 lbs are sent via first class mail unless another method is requested. Additional charges may apply for upgraded shipping. International shipping to most destinations usually takes 1 to 2 weeks but may take up to 6 weeks to arrive. Shipments to Italy may take longer.

Packages over 4 lbs are shipped via USPS priority mail, which usually takes 6 to 10 business days to most locations.

Due to the EU's new policy regarding returns I am no longer able to sell certain large and heavy items that are costly to ship to EU countries. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Please allow up to 45 days for delivery for international orders except for Italy which is 60 days. If your package does not arrive within these time frames please notify SCD Vintage to fill out an insurance claim.

Taxes, customs and other duties are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Individual countries may have restrictions on which items can be legally imported.

All packages are insured against loss or damage. Please see the refund section below for information on delayed, lost and damaged packages.

LAYAWAY:
Items $150 and over can be put on hold or layaway for up to 60 days with a 20% NON-refundable deposit. Future payments can be made on an agreed upon schedule within the 60 days.
