| Email Information:
If you have a question about an item on this website
we will do our best to answer it.
Please email us. When to expect a reply: We do our best to answer all emails within 24 hours of receiving them. However, we travel frequently and do not always have access to email. If we are traveling, it may take a few days to reply. Once in a while an email will get lost in cyberspace or will bounce back with an error message when it shouldn't. If you sent email about an item on this website and didn't receive a reply within a few days, your email may not have arrived. Please try again! Some email providers bounce a lot of emails, thinking they are unsolicited or spam. A Shop 4 Antiques does not send spam emails. (And we wish we didn't get them, too!) If you have contacted us about an item listed on this website and don't receive a reply, please contact your email provider and request that our emails be allowed through their system. If you use AOL: you may need to make some changes to receive our email. Many of the emails we send to AOL users never arrive. (We don't use AOL, but we assume that if you tell AOL customer support that you want to receive emails from shop4antiques.com, AOL customer support would know what email settings to change.) |

Shipping Information:
We pack with care and use the US Postal Service (USPS) for all shipments.
Your purchases will be shipped from Idaho, in the
Western USA and the Mountain Time Zone. Shipping costs are calculated by USPS zone using your zip code and the weight of
the package. A larger zone number means a longer distance, longer shipping time, and higher shipping cost; zone 1 is the least
expensive and zone 8 is the most expensive. From our location, the most expensive shipping is to Alaska, Hawaii, and the East Coast.
Time zones and shipping zones are not directly connected, but if you find your time zone in the following list you can estimate
your shipping zone. (Shipping zones listed here are approximate and should be used for general information only.) Hawaii: shipping zone 8 Alaska: shipping zone 7 or 8 Eastern Time Zone: shipping zone 7 or 8 Central Time Zone: shipping zone 6 or 7 except North and South Dakota: shipping zone 5 Arizona: shipping zone 4 or 5 Mountain Time Zone: shipping zone 5 or less Utah: shipping zone 3 or 4 Idaho and Wyoming: shipping zones 1-4 Pacific Time Zone: shipping zone 5 or less California: shipping zone 4 or 5 WA, OR, NV: shipping zone 4 or less |
| To Order:
Because postage is calculated for each order by weight and zip code, we don't use an automated
online shopping cart. Please email us
including your zip code and the names of the items you wish to purchase. We
will figure shipping and reply by email as quickly as we can. Please use a few words relating to the items you wish to purchase
in your email subject line. Emails with a blank subject line are sometimes filed oddly by our email system, so leaving the subject line
blank may make it harder for us to provide a timely response. If you need the item by a certain date, please let us know in your first email. We will do our best to see that your deadline is met. (This may mean using a more expensive shipping service for faster delivery.) In addition, a "rush order" service charge of $1.00 to $5.00 may apply to some orders that need to arrive in ten days or less. Prices are "each" unless noted otherwise All prices are in US Dollars Residents of Idaho, please add 6% sales tax. Residents of states other than Idaho are responsible for any taxes that may apply. All items are pre-owned, available in limited quantities, and subject to prior sale. A Shop 4 Antiques accepts both personal checks and money orders. Your purchase will be shipped as soon as your check clears. For faster shipping, money orders are happily accepted. A Shop 4 Antiques accepts credit card payments and paypal account payments through paypal. (We do not process credit card transactions ourselves, so we never have access to your credit card number.) If you plan to use paypal, please mention it in your first email so we can include an accurate shipping date in our reply. A link to our "pay now using paypal" button will be included in our email reply. After you confirm your order, the item will remain on hold for 10 business days. If payment is not received within 10 business days, the hold will expire and the item will become available to other purchasers. |
| A Shop 4 Antiques DOES SHIP
INTERNATIONALLY, however, we do NOT ship to Nigeria. There is no minimum purchase amount required for shipments to the USA. Orders shipping to Canada should have a minimum amount of US$15. Orders shipping outside the USA or Canada should have a minimum amount of US$40. (This can be one item at that value or several items added together.) We are always happy to answer questions regarding shipment costs to your country. International postage rates are substantially different than US rates, so please include country information in your order email. International payments should be made in US Dollars. PAYPAL is the ONLY way we can accept international payments. Customers are responsible for any taxes, duties, or other fees levied on their purchase. A Shop 4 Antiques includes actual purchase prices on customs forms, and all customs forms are marked "merchandise." Due to customs regulations, we cannot label your international purchase as a gift. (Shipments to Canada are duty free if the value is $20 CAN or less - except exempt items.) If your country restricts importation of used or collectible merchandise, we will not be able to ship to you unless you provide a US shipping address and the package is signed for when it is received. |
| Notes on Condition:
At A Shop 4 Antiques we believe that condition is extremely important.
The items that we sell have been previously owned. Many are 25-50 years old, and are the type of items on which damage and
wear are commonly found. Our selection is sometimes limited because we do our best to purchase only items that are in excellent
to mint condition. On this website, the term "Mint Condition" is used only to describe items that are exactly as they came from the factory. "Mint" means absolutely pristine - no wear, no scratches, and with original stickers and packaging intact. Excellent condition means less than normal wear, although some minor signs of age may be present, such as light wear on the bottom of an item, and a small scratch or two from use. Any damage we see will be included in the item description so that you know exactly what you are getting. We hope that when you purchase an item here you will be proud to add it to your collection. Returns: Any item can be returned if it is not what you thought it would be, unless the item description is marked "as is." When returning an item, please email us within 2 days of receipt. Returns must be mailed within 3 days of receipt, insured, and in the original packaging with the A Shop 4 Antiques identification tag attached. Refunds will not be issued for items damaged after receipt (for example, the box got dropped when leaving the post office) or for partial returns of matching sets. Postage is non-refundable. If an item is damaged in transit, we will assist in filing an insurance claim with the carrier. All items are packaged very carefully, so breakage is extremely rare. Our average in-transit breakage rate is about one item per year. |
