Return and Refund Policy
RETURN INFORMATION
Vintage Rare U.S.A. Return, Exchange & Store Credit Policy
At Vintage Rare U.S.A., we specialize in authentic vintage and collectible apparel. Due to the unique nature of vintage merchandise, every item is carefully inspected, measured, photographed, and described before being offered for sale.
Please review our policy carefully before placing an order.
Understanding Vintage Merchandise
Vintage clothing is pre-owned and may show signs of age, wear, fading, distressing, repairs, discoloration, or other characteristics consistent with its age and history. These characteristics are considered part of the garment's authenticity and appeal and are not considered defects unless specifically misrepresented.
We strongly encourage customers to review all photographs, measurements, descriptions, and condition notes prior to purchase.
Return Eligibility
We accept return requests within 15 days of the delivery date.
To qualify for a return, the item must:
- Be unworn, unwashed, and unused after delivery.
- Remain in the same condition in which it was received.
- Include all original tags (if applicable).
- Be free from odors, stains, pet hair, smoke exposure, alterations, or damage.
- Include proof of purchase.
All return requests require a Return Authorization (RA) Number issued by Vintage Rare U.S.A.
Items Not Eligible for Return
Because vintage clothing is unique and often one-of-a-kind, returns will not be accepted for:
- Sale, clearance, promotional, or discounted items.
- Gift cards.
- Items that have been worn, washed, damaged, or altered after delivery.
Customers are responsible for reviewing all listed measurements before purchasing. Vintage sizing often differs significantly from modern sizing, and tagged sizes should not be relied upon as the sole sizing reference.
