Absolutely. We want you to feel confident before making a purchase, especially when buying unique vintage, antique, and one-of-a-kind pieces. If you need any additional information about a product, our team is happy to help.
You can contact VINTQ at info@vintq.com with any questions before placing your order. We can assist with enquiries such as:
Additional measurements or dimensions
Requests for extra photographs or close-up images
Condition details and signs of wear
Material, finish, or construction information
General product or ordering questions
We encourage you to ask any questions before purchasing to ensure the item meets your expectations. Our goal is to provide as much information as possible so you can shop with confidence and make an informed decision.
No. The majority of items available on VINTQ are vintage, antique, pre-owned, or collectible, making each piece unique with its own history and character. Unlike newly manufactured art and décor, these items have often been enjoyed and cared for over many years, and natural signs of age and use are to be expected.
Many buyers value these characteristics as part of what makes vintage and antique pieces special. Gentle wear, variations in finish, patina, and minor imperfections often enhance an item's authenticity and tell the story of its past.
To help you shop with confidence, every product listing includes:
A detailed description of the item
High-quality photographs from multiple angles
Accurate dimensions
A condition status highlighting any notable wear, repairs, restorations, or imperfections
We encourage you to review the listing carefully, including all photos and condition notes, before making a purchase. If you have any questions or would like additional images or information, please contact us at info@vintq.com before placing your order. We're happy to help you make an informed decision.
Ordering from VINTQ is quick, secure, and straightforward. Once you've found the perfect piece, simply follow these steps:
Add the item to your cart by clicking the Add to Cart button on the product page.
Review your cart to confirm you've selected the correct item(s) and quantity.
Check the available shipping options and any associated delivery costs.
Enter your shipping and billing information to ensure your order is delivered to the correct address.
Select your preferred payment method from the secure payment options available at checkout.
Review your order to confirm all details are correct before completing your purchase.
Place your order by completing the secure checkout process.
Once your order has been successfully placed, you'll receive an order confirmation email containing your order details. If you don't see the email within a few minutes, please check your spam or junk folder. Our team will then begin processing your order, and you'll receive further updates as it progresses, including shipping confirmation and tracking information (where available).
Can I purchase multiple items?
Yes. You can purchase multiple items in a single order when they're available.
Any applicable shipping costs will be calculated during checkout based on the items in your cart and your delivery address.
Whether you're buying a single statement piece or expanding your collection, VINTQ makes it easy to purchase multiple unique items in one seamless checkout experience.
Shipping costs vary depending on the item you're purchasing and where it's being delivered. Because VINTQ offers a curated selection of vintage, antique, and one-of-a-kind pieces in a wide range of sizes and weights, shipping costs are calculated individually to ensure you receive the most appropriate delivery service.
The final shipping cost is determined by several factors, including:
Whenever possible, shipping costs are calculated and displayed during checkout before you complete your purchase. For larger, fragile, or particularly valuable items that require specialist transport, shipping costs may need to be confirmed after your order is placed. If this applies, our team will contact you with a shipping quote and delivery options before proceeding.
If you have any questions about shipping costs or would like a delivery estimate before purchasing, please contact us at info@vintq.com. Our team will be happy to help you find the most suitable shipping solution for your order.
Delivery times vary depending on the size of the item, the seller's location, your delivery address, and the shipping method selected. Smaller items can often be delivered within a few business days, while larger furniture requiring specialist freight or white-glove delivery may take longer to arrive.
Please note that these are estimated delivery timeframes and may vary due to factors such as customs processing, weather conditions, carrier schedules, or other unforeseen delays.
How can I track my order?
Once your order has been dispatched, we'll keep you informed every step of the way. You'll receive a shipping confirmation email containing the latest information about your delivery, including:
Shipping confirmation once your order has left the seller or warehouse.

If you need to cancel an order, please contact the VINTQ Customer Support team as soon as possible at info@vintq.com. Because many items on VINTQ are unique, made-to-order, or sourced directly from independent sellers and dealers, orders often begin processing shortly after they are placed.
Cancellation requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and depend on the current status of your order.
In general:
Orders that have not yet been processed or dispatched may be eligible for cancellation.
Orders that are already being prepared for shipment may no longer be able to be cancelled.
Once an item has been shipped or collected by the delivery carrier, cancellations are typically no longer possible.
If your cancellation request is approved before shipment, any eligible refund will be processed using your original payment method. Depending on your bank or payment provider, it may take several business days for the funds to appear in your account.
If your order has already been dispatched, please contact us at info@vintq.com. We'll review your options based on the seller's policies and the circumstances of your order, and we'll do our best to assist you.
You can return any item purchased on VINTQ within 14 days of delivery. To be eligible, the item must be in its original condition, unused, and include all original packaging, accessories, and documentation. Unlike mass-produced products, these unique pieces often cannot be exchanged or replaced, so we encourage buyers to make an informed decision before completing their purchase.
Before placing an order, please take the time to carefully review the product listing, including:
Product description – Read the full description for details about the item's history, materials, design, and any restoration work.
Photographs – Examine all available images, including close-ups, to understand the item's appearance and condition.
Measurements and dimensions – Confirm the piece is suitable for your space by checking all listed dimensions carefully.
