We have sold online for over twenty five years and have been in global retail for over thirty five years working in the US, the Middle East and all over Europe. We ship thousands of parcels, of all shapes and sizes, flawlessly all over the world every year. We carry perhaps the biggest individual online selection of always at least 10000+ vintage and antique items sourced throughout Europe in our shops on Etsy and our own website. We offer a no quibble refund policy, even if you just change your mind.
PRICE MATCH – Have you found the same item in the same condition cheaper elsewhere? Give us a shout and send us a link to the item and we’ll see what we can do. Where possible we will try to match or even beat our competitors’ prices.
SHIPPING DISCOUNTS – We have 1000’s of items in our Etsy stores and you will generally only pay postage on the heaviest item you buy. The rest, if they individually weigh less than 1kg each, are very often sent free (heavy items do incur an extra fee). Discounts will be automatically applied at checkout for multiple item orders. Shop across our two stores and we will combine postage and find the very best postage deal we can for you. Find out more about our shipping procedures, policies and pricing here: https://www.europeanvintageemporium.com/postage
PACKAGING ??? Where possible we use recycled or recyclable packaging (All new packaging options are available at checkout for an extra cost). Sometimes this is not possible; For example, paper tape will not stand up to the rigours of international shipping. We are though constantly evolving our business practices to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Did you know Etsy offset carbon emissions on all sales? In partnership with ecologi we also plant a tree for every sale we make on Etsy. You can find out more about this initiative here: https://www.europeanvintageemporium.com/environmentally-friendlier-business/
POLISHING / WAXING / TINT ??? We sell everything as we find it but we offer a range of polishing, waxing and finishing services. Get in touch if you would like to discuss giving your purchase a makeover! Prices start from 10 Euros for small items.

* Note. Postage from France falls into bands. Up to 2kg is a reasonable cost but anything over 2kg gets expensive. The more expensive bands are 2-5kg, 5-10kg, 10-20kg and 20-30kg. So when purchasing multiple orders, we can sometimes make savings over and above automatic postage discounts applied at checkout. For example, if you buy 4 items weighing 2kg each (allowing 2kg for packaging) we can pack those items into a 10kg package. Automatic discounts applied at checkout are usually pretty close but if you are considering multiple purchases and especially from more than one of our shops get in touch with details of the items you are considering buying and we will let you know if we can do any better on postage.

The large majority of our stock appears on our website but we always have more listing to do! There is a chance that we may have different items and quantities than those that are listed here immediately available from stock.
We also keep tabs on a lot of outlets in our local areas and also have quite a network of colleagues throughout Western Europe, so we may be able to help source your special requirements. If you would like us to keep an eye out for something or source an item just let us know what you are after and your budget and we will let you know promptly if we can help.
We operate a love it, or return it, no quibble, full refund policy. We appreciate that things sometimes do not fit in or suit quite as expected, and as a result we are happy to provide refunds due to the very nature of online shopping. Buyers will be responsible for return transit costs. To qualify simply let us know you wish to return an item within thirty days of receipt.
Returns are expensive for us and for you! They are rarely requested but when they are it is nearly always as a result of customers not checking item descriptions, sizes or all photos in a listing. Please carefully check item descriptions and photos before purchasing any items from us to avoid any disappointment.
We can only create lay-away accounts or take 20% reservation deposits from customers on our website. Etsy and Ebay do not have the facilty to do this easily.
We are surprised by the high number of customers who fail to return to complete their purchase even after they have paid a 20% deposit. Please make sure you really want the item before enquiring about making a deposit. Items can be reserved for three months after a 20% non-fundable deposit has been made.
Get in touch if you would like to make a 20% NON-REFUNDABLE reservation payment.
We are based in Lower Normandy in France. All of our stock is dispatched from here. Personal collection can be arranged from our buying office or shop in Lower Normandy with 24 hours notice. Ask for details.
Please check listing descriptions for sizes. Most listings have a mug in one of the pictures to give you a relative idea of size. The weight of items is often shown in our listings but some older listings may not contain this information. If you require further measurements or weights just send us a message and we will get back to you promptly.
We ship everywhere! We have shipped tens of thousands of items worldwide over the decades and have plenty of shipping experience. Postage costs will be displayed as you approach checkout. We give significant automatic postage discounts on multiple item orders at checkout with customers only paying postage for the heaviest item they buy.
Postage and packing costs on our own website are often subsidised by us and cheaper than postage charges in our shops on Etsy and Ebay where we have to pay seller fees. Postage prices on our other third party selling venues reflect the actual cost of sending items and do not include multiple item purchase postage discounts on heavier items. It’s always cheaper to shop and ship with us here!
Postage discounts are automatically applied to multiple item orders. You only pay a postage charge for the heaviest single item you buy. For example; if you buy ten items, you will only pay a single postage charge for the heaviest single item. See postage costs for your selected items by proceeding through the checkout process.
Standard postage services usually take 5-15 working days to reach international destinations. Express services usually take 5-10 working days.
Items are usually dispatched within one working day. They typically arrive with customers 3-15 working days (up to 3 weeks) after dispatch depending on your location and the delivery service selected at checkout.
We cannot guarantee any shipping times as we rely on assorted third parties for transit and cross border services. We cannot avoid customs delays for example. All items are sent fully tracked and insured against loss and breakage in transit.
We use the French Post Office (La Poste) who work in conjunction with Postal services in your country to deliver parcels. For example USPS in the USA and Parcelforce in the UK. We can work with other couriers like UPS and DHL but these tend to be at least twice the shipping price.
We can supply personal courier services for urgently required items or large bulk orders in Western Europe. Contact us for details.
Please see our trading policies for more detailed information on shipping or get in touch if you have a question.
Multiple item purchases have postage discounts applied at checkout with customers only paying postage fees for the heaviest item they purchase. The rest are sent free. For example if you buy ten items you only pay postage for the heaviest single item.
