PayPal uses a secure server to collect your credit card information. Here is more information about PayPal's internet security.

How old are your collectibles?

Each collectible is a different age. Most items are considered antiques once they reach 100 years of age. The majority of the collectibles at Attic Shoppe are considered vintage, which is at least 20 years old. When the age is known, it is specified in the item listing.

Can you tell me the value of something I own?

We are not appraisers, so we cannot give out value appraisals. If you want to know the value of an antique or collectible, please contact a licensed appraiser in your area.

Ordering Information

How do I place an order?

Please see Ordering Information for further details.

Do you charge sales tax?

Sales tax for Texas residents is 7.75% unless a valid sales tax ID is provided.

What is your return policy?

We at Attic Shoppe want you to be delighted with your purchase. If, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with your selection, you may return it in its original condition within 15 days. We will refund the purchase price or exchange it, whichever you prefer. Original shipping fees and PayPal fees are non-refundable. All returns must be accompanied by the receipt.

Shipping Information

Do you combine shipping if I buy multiple items?

Yes. The shipping calculator in your shopping cart automatically combines shipping for you.

When will my order be shipped?

Most orders are shipped within one or two business days after receiving payment. You will be sent a shipping notice when your item has shipped.

How is my order shipped?

We ship by United States Postal Service (USPS). Our shopping cart lets you choose your preferred USPS shipping method when you check out. Simply click on the arrow next to the shipping method displayed for a list of the shipping options available for the items you have purchased.

Can you ship to a post office box?

Yes, USPS does ship to a post office box.

Do I need to buy shipping insurance?

Insurance is optional on orders of $25 and under; orders over $25 have insurance fees added to the shipping and handling amount in the shopping cart. We strongly recommend shipping insurance as the Attic Shoppe is not liable for your items once they are shipped.

My product was damaged during shipment. What do I do?

If an insured item is damaged during shipment, contact us immediately and we will send you the insurance receipt. Simply take the item to the USPS to file a claim. Make sure to take along the insurance receipt and the packaging materials.

If you are not sure what to do, simply contact us. Do NOT send back a damaged item because that will void the insurance. Instead, you must file an insurance claim as soon as possible.

If your insured item never arrives and you believe it was lost in the mail, please contact us. We will send you your insurance receipt, and you can take it to the USPS to file a claim.

If your item was not insured and it arrives broken or is lost in the mail, there is no way to recoup your expenses. Just remember, insurance is optional, but highly recommended.
