Shipping Services

Thoughtful packing and delivery for one-of-a-kind finds

Vintage pieces need more than a standard parcel. Their size, age, materials and condition all influence how they should be packed and transported. We arrange delivery around the item and your destination, working with suitable parcel carriers and specialist transport partners in Europe and beyond.

Tell us what you have your eye on and where it needs to go. We will review the available options and confirm the service, cost and delivery arrangements with you before shipping is booked.

Choose a service that suits the piece

Carefully packed parcels

For smaller pieces that can travel safely in a parcel, we select a suitable carrier and prepare protective packaging around the item. Tracking is shared when the carrier provides it.

Furniture and larger objects

Chairs, lamps, tables and other bulky or delicate pieces may need a specialist carrier, pallet service or dedicated transport. We request a tailored quote based on the item and destination.

European delivery

Many European destinations can be served by road. The route, carrier, price and estimated delivery window depend on the piece, access requirements and destination.

International delivery

We can arrange transport to many destinations outside Europe too. Availability, transit times, customs requirements and costs vary, so we confirm the details for each shipment before you decide.

How we prepare your item

We choose the packing method to suit the item rather than using one standard box for everything. Depending on the material, shape and journey, preparation may include protective wrapping, foam, reinforced cardboard, corner protection, a pallet or a wooden crate.

  • We protect vulnerable edges, surfaces and protruding parts.
  • We secure the item so it is less likely to shift during handling.
  • For larger or more fragile pieces, we consider whether a pallet or crate is appropriate.
  • We photograph the item before packing so its pre-shipment condition is documented.

Vintage items can show age-related wear. We take care to pack them securely while preserving and protecting their existing condition.

Quotes, costs and what is included

Shipping is quoted individually because dimensions, weight, packing needs and destination can change the price considerably. The item price does not include delivery unless the product listing specifically says that it does. We confirm the shipping cost and service with you before booking transport.

Your quote will explain the delivery method and the arrangements that matter for your shipment. For example, it may specify whether the service is parcel delivery or specialist transport, the estimated delivery window, the handover point, tracking availability and any insurance cover or limits. If a service or cover is unavailable, we will explain that before you confirm.

Need a quote? Send us the product link and your destination postcode or full address. For furniture, please mention stairs, narrow access or other delivery constraints so we can check the right service.

Tracking, insurance and delivery updates

Where the carrier offers tracking, we will share the tracking details after dispatch. Specialist carriers may provide updates or arrange a delivery window directly. The exact update process depends on the transport service chosen.

Insurance availability and terms can differ by carrier, item and destination. We will tell you what cover is included or available, including relevant limits, in the quote before shipment is booked. The delivery arrangements and your statutory rights are governed by the agreed order details and our Terms & Conditions.

Receiving your delivery

Please check that the delivery address and contact details are correct. Make sure someone can receive the item when the carrier requires it. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, delivery is to the address and handover point stated in your quote; carrying furniture upstairs or placing it in a particular room is not included.

Delivery estimates are provided by the carrier and may change because of route planning, weather, customs or other circumstances. We will pass on the information available to us and help you contact the carrier if an update is needed.

If something goes wrong

If your item arrives damaged, appears to be missing or has not arrived within the expected window, contact us promptly at info@swedish-vintage.com. Include your order details and clear photographs of the item, packaging and any visible damage. Keep the packaging until we have discussed what to do next.

We will review the details with you and coordinate the next steps with the carrier where needed. For consumer purchases, the goods remain at our risk until you, or someone you nominate (other than the carrier), takes physical possession of them, in line with applicable law.

Collection

Collection may be possible by appointment, depending on the item and its storage location. Please contact us in advance so we can confirm the address, a suitable time and how the item will be handed over.
