Selling Second Hand/Pre-loved Curtains with Divinely Vintage

The process we use for clients who ask us to sell their curtains seems to work well and is explained below and our Selling Terms and Conditions can be accessed from the link at the bottom of this page: -

Part One

[1] - To begin with please use the Contact Us Form on this website to give us some basic details of the curtains you have that you want to sell. This means we will have a proper record of your request. Please include a contact phone number and where you live with your question/initial information.

[2] - We will send you an email reply asking you to send us some pictures of the curtains, including at least one close up, and give us approximate details of the size(s) and condition etc. of your curtains. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT TAKE IN CURTAINS SHORTER THAN 85 INS OR 216 CMS LONG (UNLESS WE THINK THEY'RE NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING!), BLINDS OF ANY DESCRIPTION OR SHORT CURTAINS.

Part Two

[3] - If we think that, acting as your agents, we can sell your curtains and you are local to us, we will invite you to visit our St Albans Showroom so we can physically see the curtains before agreeing the likely selling price etc. Alternatively it may be possible for us, time constraints allowing, to pick up from you if it is within easy driving range of our showroom.

[4] - If you live outside our local catchment area but still want us to sell your curtains we can/will arrange for the curtains to be picked up by Courier and we generally use Parcelforce or UPS for this service. If you are happy for us to use this option we will ask you to box the curtains and weigh the box and give us the dimensions (length, width and height in cms). We will provide you with the label(s) and the initial cost of this will be borne by us. This cost, which will include the cost of Insurance for the transit of the curtains, will eventually be split 50 /50 and we will recover our share of the cost once the first pair of curtains has sold. We will of course tell you the cost of the label(s). 

Part Three

[5] - Once we have received the curtains we will measure and examine them and send you an email or text with the  valuation range for each pair you have sent us. We will keep your curtains for up to 6 months and do our level best to obtain the highest possible price for them as this benefits you and us jointly.

[6] - If your curtains sell we will contact you for your bank details as all our payments are made directly into your bank account and we do our accounts once per month, usually during the second/third week of the month following when your curtains sell. However please do read item 1.7 of the Selling Terms and Conditions which refers to this.

[7] - Just occasionally curtains just don't sell but either way please read and take note of the following link giving details of our SELLING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Thank you for taking the time to read these terms and conditions.
