Buying on Almost Vintage

Who am I buying from?

You are purchasing a pre-loved Dagne Dover product that has made its way back to us, or from another customer who has decided to sell it. The seller is responsible for packing and shipping the item to you. The Almost Vintage team, powered by Archive, is here to answer any questions you have throughout this experience. You can see the name of the seller in the listing, but currently, our partner Archive handles all communications between the buyer and seller.

Can I buy an item if I don't live in the United States?

Unfortunately, no. Dagne Dover Almost Vintage is currently only available to buyers in the continental US, Hawaii and Alaska. We're also unable to ship to AA, AE or AP addresses at this time.

What should I do when I receive my order?

Once you've received your order, please look it over carefully and ensure it's as described. If everything is ok, you can accept the order in your account. If you have any concerns, please contact Almost Vintage customer support within 3 days of delivery.

What happens if my item is damaged?

If the item you receive is damaged or in a different condition than how it was described in the listing, you have 3 calendar days to request a refund. You can do this by contacting Almost Vintage customer support. We'll ask you to explain the issue and send us a few photos. If we verify that the item has been misrepresented, we'll email you a shipping label to return it. You have 6 full business days to ship the item back, after which you will receive a full refund.

Can I return an item?

All sales are final and no returns or exchanges are allowed. However, you can always re-list the item for sale here. In the event that a seller has misrepresented the item you purchased, you will have 3 days after receiving the item to notify us of the issue and request a refund.

We only accept items that are in good condition. We can't accept items that have rips, stains, broken zippers or hardware, or any other major issues, including anything that affects the functionality of the product.

How should I prepare my item once it’s sold?

Please ensure that all items are freshly cleaned and check to make sure there’s nothing left in any of the pockets or pouches. See our care page here for cleaning and care instructions. Write a thank you note to your buyer to include in your package.

What packaging should I use?

Once your item sells, we'll email you a pre-addressed USPS Ground Advantage label. Print it, attach it to your package, and drop it off at any USPS location or schedule a free carrier pickup at usps.com/pickup. As soon as that first scan happens, we'll send tracking details to you and the buyer.

How do I ship my item?

Once your item has sold, you will receive a pre-paid, pre-addressed shipping label via email. Pack your item(s) nicely with a personal thank you note and attach this label to your package. Drop it in the mailbox or at the nearest US Post Office. Alternatively, you can schedule a free USPS package pickup.

How long do I have to ship?

Once your item sells, we will email you immediately with a shipping label. We recommend that you ship the item within 3 days of receiving this label. If you have not shipped your item within 6 full business days of receiving the label, the buyer will have the option to cancel their purchase.

When will I be paid?

You will be paid after your item sells and the buyer has accepted it. When USPS tells us the item has been delivered, the buyer has 3 days to accept the item. Once this happens, we will release your earnings and you can redeem these for cash or Dagne Dover store credit.

How will I be paid?

If you choose cash, you will receive 70% of the sale price of the item. If you choose Dagne Dover store credit, you will receive 100% of the sale price of the item.

Can I use my store credit on Almost Vintage?

If you choose Dagne Dover store credit, it can only be used for purchases directly with Dagne Dover. Store credit can't be used on the Almost Vintage site.

How is my item protected after I ship it?

At the point your item sells, we will email you a pre-addressed USPS Priority Mail shipping label to put on your package. Assuming you use this shipping label and the package is scanned into the USPS tracking system, you will be insured up to a value of $100 if the item gets lost in transit by USPS. When you scan the package at USPS, we will send both you and the buyer an email with the tracking information.

What happens if the buyer does not accept the item?

If a buyer reports an issue with their order, we'll ask them to upload details and photos for our team to carefully review and offer a resolution. If our team finds that the item has been misrepresented, the item will be returned and the earnings won't be released.

Environmental Impact

Why buy secondhand?

Buying secondhand is a way to reduce the environmental impact of your fashion choices. The production of new products requires a large amount of natural resources. The purchase of one used item emits over 80% less carbon than purchasing that same item new. Good for Mama Earth. Good for you.
