Announcement    Pumpjack & Piddlewick is about slow living and a simple lifestyle. All whilst restoring my little medieval French house and garden. The restoration reiterates my appreciation for antiquity. Its quality, uniqueness, wisdom, longevity and sometimes sheer quirkiness - All act as inspiration for the vintage, antique and artisan items in my shop.
Life in France and general musings can be found on my website.

If there is something you like but you think the price is a tad high, make me an offer. I like a good, friendly haggle.

Are you especially a fan of the French Silk Scarf (like me), please visit my specialist shop here on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/FrenchSilkScarf

Sorry although we approve the traditional, we are modern in commerce - no paper checks or money orders. As all our items are unique, if an order is not paid for within 24 hours it will be cancelled.

Shipping

Pumpjack & Piddlewick ship worldwide.

We want the unique item you have chosen to reach you in the best condition, so we try to protect our items as best we can using padded or stiffened envelopes, or as warranted bubble wrap and boxes. We recycle some packaging where possible. We package with the intent that you can reuse the packaging should you wish.

If you prefer your purchase be sent direct to someone else, please message us and let us know the shipping address and any unique message you wish enclosed.

All our items are shipped with tracking from France by regular first class post/mail. Customs forms are required outside the EU and will note the amount, sadly even if marked as a Gift.

Customs fees thresholds vary country to country. Customers are responsible for any customs fees. If a purchase is refused due to non-payment of a fee and returned to us, the cost of shipping will be deducted from the refund.

For our customers in Germany, we are VerpackQ registered.

Frequently asked questions

Shipping, Upgrades & Express Delivery

If your item is small enough (under 3cm / 1 inch), we will send it in a padded or rigid envelope. You may upgrade to have your item shipped in a box if you prefer at checkout. This may incur an additional cost. *The delivery times will be the same*

We do not offer Express or overnight delivery in general, particularly outside of France as the prices start at 99 euros for a Chronopost box and must be purchased ahead of time, negating the speed of the delivery.

Items Sent as Gifts

Marking an item purchased from us as a Gift will include a receipt without a price. You will also have the option to include a special message.

Please note: if we are sending a Gift direct to your recipient ~
All items sent outside of the EU require a Customs form that must state what the item is and its value.

We offer gift wrapping at an additional cost.

We are happy to send your Gift direct to a recipient. Simply message us with the name and address you prefer the item be sent to. Alternatively, you can also provide the name and address instead of your own when checking out.
The tracking number will be sent to you/the purchaser's email so that you may track your gift.

What does Retro, Vintage and Antique mean?

Vintage or Antique means not new / used / second hand / previously owned.

Vintage is older than 20 years and less than 100 years old.
Antique is over 100 years old, eg before 1920.
Retro is a style statement, generally referring to the latter half of the 20th century.

We do our best to describe each item accurately, including any imperfections. We use the pictures to try and show you all aspects of the item. Please do not hesitate to ask questions or request additional photos.
