None of these Terms and Conditions affect your statutory rights.
1. Product Specification
Most of the items that we sell are vintage and will be clearly described as vintage.
Whilst we spend a lot of time sympathetically restoring each item, some natural wear and tear should still be expected – we believe this adds to the general appeal of each item as it makes it truly unique.
We endeavor to provide very clear and detailed photographs of each product, however, if you would like further clarification on the condition of an item please contact us before making a purchase. We are very happy to answer any questions/queries and would much rather our customers make an informed decision before committing to buy.
Due to limitations and colour variations between monitors there may be slight colour variations to those displayed. For upholstered items, we are always happy to supply fabric samples – please contact us stating which item/fabric you would like and we’ll get a sample sent out to you.
We also sell a number of new, ‘upcycled’ and made-to-order items – and these will be described as such.
2. Dimensions
For all items we provide approximate dimensions – if space is tight, or you need exact measurements, please contact us and we will try and provide more detailed information.
We cannot be held responsible if an item of furniture cannot gain access to, or does not fit in its intended space. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you measure all access areas prior to making a purchase.
Please note: Items cannot be returned because they are the wrong size or do not fit – please see our Returns Policy further down the page for more information.
3. Prices
All prices shown on the website are in pounds sterling (£), include VAT, but do not include delivery (unless otherwise stated).
4. Payments

- Bank transfer/BACS
- PayPal payment platform (does not require a PayPal account)
- Credit or Debit card via the Stripe payment platform
Both Paypal and Stripe are highly regarded, globally accepted payment platforms with recognised standards of compliance and security.
5. Delivery
Smaller/post-able items
For smaller items, that can be packaged and postage without too much risk of damage, we a variety of postal services including Royal Mail, Parcelforce, Hermes and DHL. There are various prices for parcels, based on both weight and size, and the amount of time/packaging required. This will be displayed when you add your item to your basket, but will also be mentioned in the product listing. We aim to post all items within 3 working days of ordering – all items are insured and require a signature on delivery. If an item arrives damaged, please let us know within 48 hours. You may be asked to send photographs of the damage so that we can place a claim our end with the postage handler.
Large/furniture items - specialist courier delivery.
We use a network of trusted couriers to deliver our large/furniture items throughout the Mainland UK. We also work with a dedicated courier who delivers to London and the surrounding area most weeks. A flat rate of £60 is applied for all Mainland UK deliveries - however if you are located in Scotland, Wales, Devon, Cornwall or a remote/coastal area, then there may be an extra surcharge - this is to take into account the extra mileage/time required to deliver to these areas. Please contact us prior to ordering if you would like a quotation.
Once you have purchased an item either we, or the courier, will be in touch within the next 7 working days (via email or text message) to arrange delivery. You will be provided with a delivery date and typically a 2 hour window to help you plan your day accordingly. Please note that deliveries are usually carried out by a single driver, so assistance may be required for large items. Orders are delivered 7 days a week and at various times of the day, depending on where you are located on the driver’s planned route, so some flexibility is needed please. If you do have any special requirements i.e. if you need a two-person delivery, or help upstairs to another floor, then please contact us ASAP so that we can make special arrangements for you (please note that extra assistance may require a surcharge).
Please note: It is the responsibility of each customer to ensure that the item ordered will fit through all access points and into the space intended. Items cannot be returned because they do not fit.
International deliveryWe do NOT currently provide international delivery, and do not have the facilities on site to prepare/package items for delivery overseas. However, we do know a number of couriers who offer delivery to various European destinations – please contact us prior to purchase and we will put you in touch.
6. Wood products - Care & Advice
All wood products need to be treated with care - wood is a natural, living and breathing material. You should avoid placing wood furniture in direct sunlight as this will help maintain colour and avoid fading of the wood/dyes. Please also avoid placing furniture near heat sources such as wood burners, fires, radiators, or directly on underfloor heating, as this can have an adverse affect on the wood.
PLEASE NOTE: Reclaimed wood/boards are a natural wood product and due to the nature of this some movement is to be expected as they adapt to a new environment i.e. heating/air conditioning and atmospheric changes. As a result we cannot be held responsible for timber movement.
Most softwood products are treated with oil or wax, this helps to prevent marks, and maintain depth of colour. This can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soapy water if required. You can also use a natural beeswax polish or wax to maintain the finish occasionally (every six months or so).
Hard woods such as Oak and Walnut will be coated with Danish Oil, this offers a luxurious and durable finish - again this can be cleaned as above. It is also advisable to re-oil when required (will be determined on how/how often the surface of wood is used and cleaned) - this can be done 2-4 times a year. Danish Oil can be found in most hardware or DIY stores.
Please do NOT use any harsh abrasives; solvents or silicone based cleaning products on any of our furniture. We advise using only natural non-chemical based cleaning products.
We advise using coasters and place mats to protect wood from heat and spillages - a table cloth is also advised where there are increased chances of accidents/traffic/spillages.
7. Returns and Refunds
7.1 New items
We want you to be 100% happy with your purchase and will fully refund (or exchange if possible) any NEW item. Please inform us within 24 hours of taking delivery that you wish to return an item, by email: info@mustardvintage.com and we will liaise with you to organise the return. Your item must then be returned to us within 7 working days - please note that the buyer will be responsible for paying for shipping costs for returning any purchase. Shipping costs are non-refundable. Once returned to us we will refund the item, less any shipping/delivery charges (unless the goods are faulty or incorrect) within 7 working days. We cannot be held responsible for any returned items that are lost in transit, so please ensure that you obtain a proof of postage, and use a delivery service that provides an online tracking service and signature upon delivery.
7.2 Vintage, 'up-cycled' or made-to-order items
For vintage, ‘upcycled’ or bespoke/made-to-order items we can ONLY offer a refund if your item is not as described or (in the unlikely event) damaged upon delivery. To process a refund we must be notified within 24 hours of delivery by email: info@mustardvintage.com , we will then liaise with you directly to arrange the return and refund of the item.
Please note:
- for upholstered items, it is your responsibility to request fabric samples before making a purchase - you cannot return an item because you don't like the chosen fabric.
- It is the responsibility of each customer to ensure that the item ordered will fit through all access points and into the space intended. Sorry, but items cannot be returned because they do not fit.
7.3 Discounted / Sale Items
Only regular priced NEW items may be returned. Unfortunately we are not able to offer returns on items that are discounted or on sale.
