I accept returns, exchanges, and cancellations under certain conditions (EU buyers see EU buyer policy):

Returns and exchange details

Nonrefundable items:

furniture
lingerie (nightgowns, pajamas, robes, socks, stockings, slips, corsets, girdles, garter belts, nightshirts, etc)

Return Policy and Procedure:

contact shop within 3 days of delivery detailing reason for return and request for return label
print and attach label to package securely but do not tape over bar codes
return in original packaging if possible to keep packaging at a similar weight and size
item must be postmarked at the post office within 7 days of receiving original delivery
returned items MUST be in original condition as described in product description when received and fully free of pet hair, deodorant and odors in order for a refund to be processed
refunds are processed within 2 business days of shop receiving package

How much will I be refunded?

refund amount equals the original item price (less sales tax) minus 15% restocking fee (covers fees, packaging material and time) less shipping cost shop incurred TO and FROM buyer
PLEASE ask how much shipping costs would be deducted PRIOR to returning. Shipping can be quite expensive and should be factored into deciding on returning an item or not Example Refund Breakdown $40.00 (Original item price less sales tax if applicable) - $6.00 (15% restocking fee off $40) - $12.00 (shipping to and from buyer for small package less than 1 pound ($6 each way)) $22.00 = total refund to buyer

Do you take returns if I miss the 3 day return request window?

Yes - I am happy to take returns outside of the return period for a refund of 50% of the original item price less shipping cost shop incurred To and FROM buyer
same conditions under returned items policy applies item condition upon receipt and refund processing time frame

Can I exchange an item?

yes. The value for exchange is calculated as the original purchase price less a 15% restocking fee less shipping costs incurred by shop to and from buyer as well as any shipping cost to ship new item to buyer.

EU Buyer Policy:

For the Love of MCM Vintage's Effort Towards Sustainability:

Our shop has a focus on sustainability and minimizing our carbon footprint by offering vintage, reusing packing material and shipping boxes when possible.
Some items ship in EcoEnclose plastic bags which have 2 strips of adhesive so the bag when opened gently along the dotted lines can be reused to ship a similar sized item in. These bags are made with 100% recycled content and 50% post consumer content and can be recycled in thin film plastic bins. They are made in the USA.
Items when possible are wrapped in brown kraft paper tied with cotton twine and dried lavender in domestic US shipments. Please add a note if you do not wish for the item to be Kraft paper tied. The paper is recyclable.
We encourage reuse of our plastic bags, cardboard boxes and other packing material.
Please keep children away from string and plastic bags.
To prevent damage from elements in shipping we do utilize a plastic product as an added safeguard to ensure your item arrives to you just as it left the shop.
When possible we use items given to us to further prevent unnecessary waste.

Shipping Policy:

Items ship USPS first class package for items under 1 pound and usually Priority for items over 1 pound for Domestic US buyers
Buyers have option to upgrade shipping at buyers expense
If an item comes back marked as unclaimed for any reason, we are not responsible for any shipping fees to get the item to the buyer again. The item will be relisted in the shop without refund unless the buyer contacts us asking for the item to be reshipped at the buyer’s expense.

Damaged Package Policy:

If your package is damaged upon arrival do not open it until you have taken pictures from all angles including a picture of the full package in view.
Once images are taken, open package gently to determine if the item is damaged.
Take picture of open package and content undisturbed prior to removing item
Remove item from package gently with care to determine if the item is damaged being careful with items that could be broken with sharp edges.
If item is damaged, take images from all angles to show damage and also a picture where the entire item is clearly in view.
Please contact us immediately with the photos and details of damage to package and item so we can start the claims process.
I will send a return label so you can ship the item back to me and the claims process can begin
Refunds will be issued after the item is received back to the shop after inspection.
Detailed images and description of damage is necessary and important as we are a micro business unable to absorb costs in comparison to a large online retailer.

FURNITURE:

We do not arrange shipping for furniture pieces unless noted in item description. We can work with any shipper you choose for the furniture pieces we don't arrange shipping for.
