Do you ship internationally?

We currently ship throughout the United States and select international locations. Shipping costs will be calculated at checkout based on your location and item weight.

What shipping method do you use?

We use the most affordable and reliable shipping option available for your order. Most items are shipped via USPS or UPS with tracking included. You'll receive a tracking number once your item is in transit.

Do you offer expedited shipping?

We prioritize using the most cost-effective shipping options to keep prices reasonable. Contact us at VJ@VJthrifts.com if you need expedited shipping options for your order.

Can I track my order?

Yes! Once your item ships, you'll receive an email with a tracking number. You can use this number to track your package with the carrier (USPS, UPS, etc.) in real-time.

Damaged Items

What if my item arrives damaged?

We carefully package each item to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. However, accidents can happen during shipping. If your item arrives damaged:

  • Message us immediately with clear photos of the damage and packaging
  • We will help you file a claim with the carrier
  • Keep all packaging materials for the claim process

Important: V.J. Thrift Finds is not responsible for damage that occurs during transit. Carrier insurance applies in these cases.

Can I get a refund for a damaged item?

Transit damage claims are handled through the shipping carrier's insurance. We will assist you in filing the claim, but refunds and replacements are determined by the carrier based on their policies. We work hard to ensure items arrive safely, and we're here to support you through the claims process.

Return Policy

What is your return policy?

All vintage and thrifted items are sold as-is. Since each piece is unique and one-of-a-kind, we do not offer returns or exchanges. We provide detailed photos, measurements, and condition descriptions for every item to help you make informed decisions. If you have questions before purchasing, please reach out!

What if the item isn't what I expected?

We provide comprehensive product information including multiple photos from different angles, dimensions, condition notes, and detailed descriptions.
