Hi, sadly as of 2023, Etsy has changed their platform, and it’s a big mess. Etsy is having a lot of frustrating and unprofessional issues and technical difficulties.
To order through our store, please call or email us to check out (info below). We take most payment methods and can handle your order promptly. Unfortunately, orders on Etsy over $250 have become subject to cancellation, which affects many of our customers.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Our business has been on Etsy since the early years. We’ve had many happy customers and look forward to many more. Thanks for looking.
Warm regards,
The Recycling Ethic

Antique / vintage art, furniture, and decorative Americana. For pick up, we’re on the way to popular California tourist destinations, beautiful Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks, and also right along the way between San Francisco and Los Angeles if you’re traveling north or south. Cash discount for local pick up. We offer shipping nationwide and international shipping upon request. We’re glad to answer any questions. Hope you find something you love.
STORE POLICIES
Payment
*We accept a variety of payment methods - contact us before purchasing if you don't see your option of choice.
We ship after payment clears our bank and/or we have cash in hand (i.e. your money goes all the way from you to us). Read on to see how long that might be for your payment of choice.
We generally ship most items 1-5 business days after payment clears. Shipments of large pieces are determined by carrier and destination - please contact us for a S&H quote with your location and time frame.
ONLINE PAYMENTS: Online payments (i.e. Paypal, credit and debit cards, e-check) can take 4-6 business days to clear.
MAILED PAYMENTS: Checks, money order, and cashier's checks accepted - Please contact us for instructions before purchasing. We expect mailed payments to arrive to us within one week of purchase. Tracking and other information may be requested at the shop's discretion. These can take a few weeks to clear, depending on the bank.
CASH: Cash is accepted for local pick up.
SALES TAX: Sales tax is collected by ebay depending on your location. We’re in CA.
INVOICING FOR S&H: For some items, S&H is not listed and information is requested to process the order. These items are considered local pickup by default. You are paying for the item only. After that, we’ll make arrangements with you to pay for S&H. As this is partly a service, and customers are technically hiring us, per policy compliance, you will be invoiced separately. Please contact us with any questions.
Shipping
FOR SPECIAL CARE ITEMS: Carriers will only deliver and relinquish to the person who ordered the item. We reserve the right to do this on all items.
COMBINED SHIPPING: We have large and small items, so combined shipping is sometimes, though not always, feasible. Please contact us with your list before purchasing. Your location and time frame in your first email will help expedite the process. If for some reason, S&H costs are significantly different from stated costs or combined shipping is inaccurate, we will send you a reserved S&H listing to purchase and handling time will be adjusted accordingly depending on payment time frame.
EXPRESS SHIPPING: Sometimes you need something quick. When you need an item quickly, contact us prior to purchasing with your time frame and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Additional shipping and handling charges will apply. Please keep in mind, though we love happy customers, sometimes we are unable to accommodate last minute requests.
LOCAL PICK UP: All items available for local pick up in Central California. Cash accepted for local pick up unless arrangements are made in advance. No returns. Handling charges may apply for large items. Items are considered abandoned after 7 days and will be resold without refund unless prior arrangements are made. We're glad to work with anyone under reasonable circumstances. Communication is paramount.
***If a customer refuses to pay for S&H, we will assume that you will be picking up and will change your S&H pricing to local pick up pricing and/or delivery. If you refuse to pay for either of those, we will consider your purchased item abandoned, you will receive no refund, and the item will be relisted and may be resold. If you choose local pick up, to verify you've received the item and approve, you will leave 5 star feedback or if we deliver to a 3rd party, you will approve it through them and leave 5 star feedback before we release it. This indicates you’ve had the opportunity to look over the item and inspect it. This is by no means required, yet we will not release the item unless you are completely satisfied.***
STORAGE FEES: 2023, storage fees are $10/day. This may be applicable if you choose to pick up beyond our standard pick up time frame.
DELIVERY ISSUES If ever there is damage to a package or item, this must be reported within 24hrs of receipt, or immediately upon arrival for special care items. If you fail to timely report damage, we will not assist you in securing compensation from the shipper and will not provide you a refund. As much as we love happy customers, communication must go both ways for us to be able to work with you efficiently and professionally. If ever there is obvious damage upon arrival, please call us immediately before accepting. If, and only if, there is full cooperation on a customer’s end for reporting damage, taking photographs, accurate descriptions, and prompt communication back and forth will any refund for damage be issued. Our direct number is (916)572-1437. Thanks
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Customs laws may affect your order. Contact us with your location and items you'd like to purchase if you have any questions. International tracking must be available for your location - additional costs may apply to add tracking. Shipping times vary.
International customers, contact us prior to purchasing. We reserve the right to cancel your order if you buy something without contacting us first. We reserve the right to cancel your order if there are any communication issues.
Please note: We are in the United States. International customers who do business with us are implicitly agreeing to abide by our policies and US laws.
Privacy
We request your direct contact information to process your order: mailing address, phone number, email address. We may use these to contact you regarding your shipment.
Shippers may also use this information to contact you when your shipment is available for pick up, or if there is some issue with your shipment (e.g. lost, delayed, customs charges due, etc., etc.). Please take this into consideration when you choose the information you'd like to provide to us. Of course, anything you provide via ebay is shared with ebay.
Keep in mind, the quicker we can get in touch with you, the quicker you can receive your order.
Thank you for your business. Please contact us with any questions.

5 out of 5 starsIt's amazing how something fragile like this can still be in great shape after potentially being used for decades. The pot condition was just as described by the seller. Thanks recyclingethic for the great care in packaging for shipping.
