Delivery & Shipping

Which locations do you serve?

gotvintage is located in Berlin and rents out all over Germany and Europe. You can pick up most of our inventory in Berlin but we can also deliver it to you. Transportation costs are calculated on an individual basis, depending on volume and distance from Berlin. Please contact us for more information.

Do you deliver and collect the items directly to and from my venue?

Yes, on request we deliver to almost any location, Europe-wide, directly to your venue. Depending on size and quantity, we bring furniture by van or truck, at ground level up to just inside the first door. We also deliver dishes and glasses ourselves. Alternatively, you can collect your order in Berlin and bring it back to us yourself.

We calculate transport costs individually; they depend on the size of the vehicle and the distance. For higher floors or hard-to-reach locations we offer helping hands for an additional charge. Our delivery costs apply to a ground-level, continuously rollable access route without waiting times, unless stated otherwise in your quote.

For an individual transport quote, contact us at got@gotvintage.de.

What do I need to bear in mind when collecting the items myself?

You can collect almost all items yourself from one of our warehouses; only larger quantities of furniture are excluded. You are responsible for proper transport and liable for any damage in transit. Please use a vehicle that is suitable for the size, weight and nature of the rented items.

How does parcel shipping work, and how do I send the items back?

Cutlery and smaller decorative items that are not fragile are sent by overnight courier with UPS or DPD. Delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days. Express shipping and delivery time windows are possible, please state this in your quote request. We do not send dishes and glasses by parcel. You can collect them from our storage in Berlin or have them delivered by us.

For the return, you pack the items yourself back into the delivery boxes. We send the return label along. The costs for shipping and return shipping depend on the weight and number of parcels and are stated in your quote.

Is there a charge for packing?

A packing fee of 15.00 € up to a maximum of 50.00 €, including VAT, may apply to an order. It is not counted towards the minimum order value of 150.00 €.

Our transport crates are reusable and must be returned to us after the rental period.

Cleaning

Do we have to clean the crockery/cutlery/glasses ourselves?

No. Given the age and delicate nature of the articles we will clean the crockery for you and this service is included in the rental price. Simply and carefully scrape off any food before packing the items. Ensure textiles are dry before packing.

Is cleaning of furniture/decoration/textiles included in the rental price?

No. We expect you to redeliver our furniture and decorative articles in clean condition. Candleholders have to be free of wax, do not use sharp objects for cleaning. In case of heavy soiling, as well as wax residues we will charge an additional cleaning fee.
