Vintage Purchase Information

 

At Distinctive Vintage, I want you to shop with confidence. Every vintage treasure is individually photographed, measured, and carefully described so you'll know exactly what you're purchasing. The information below explains my shop policies and answers many common questions.

 

Product Condition & Authenticity

Every piece at Distinctive Vintage is a genuine vintage or antique treasure

with its own unique history.

Please remember that vintage items are not new. Due to age and the original manufacturing

process, you may find characteristics such as minor manufacturing variations,

glass bubbles, straw marks,light wear, crazing on older pottery, or signs of gentle use.

These are often part of the charm and authenticity of vintage pieces.

Every item is individually photographed, measured, and described as accurately as possible.

Every piece tells a story. Please take a moment to review all photos, measurements, and the complete description so you can be confident it's the perfect addition to your home.

If you have any questions before purchasing, I'm always happy to help.

 

Product Photography

Some product photographs are enhanced for lighting, color accuracy, background, and clarity.

The vintage item shown is the actual item you will receive.

Any condition issues are disclosed in both the photographs and the written description.

 

Returns & Refunds

Because every item is a unique vintage treasure, please review all photos,

measurements, and descriptions carefully before purchasing.

Returns are accepted only when an item arrives damaged or is

significantly different from its description.

Returns cannot be accepted for:

• Buyer's remorse

If you experience a problem with your order, please contact me promptly

so I can help resolve the issue.

 

Shipping Damage

All shipments are carefully packed to help ensure safe arrival.

If your package arrives damaged, please photograph:
