FAQs

We are a trusted service with over 500,000 customers signed up and more than 10,000 Trustpilot reviews. Your items will be automatically insured for up to £300 through Parcelforce and we can raise your insurance to £1000 - £10,000 for no extra cost.
No, unfortunately, this isn’t possible. The value of an item is very dependent on quality, condition, age and demand so we must see it in person to be able to give it a fair valuation. If you are not satisfied with your offer, we will return your items free of charge so you have nothing to lose by sending them in.

If you would like some guidance on whether or not your items are suitable for us, please contact us on 0800 246 1111 or send us an email at hello@vintagecashcow.co.uk
Absolutely! Our service is designed to be 100% free, whether you send your items to us or request them to be returned after declining our offer.
Sending your box to us is free, easy and safe. We pay for and insure every parcel you send for up to £300 using a tracked Parcelforce service.

There are two ways you can send your box to us:

1) Using your pre-paid postage labels

When you order your free selling guide, we include a pre-paid postage label and sender details sticker. After packing your box, please stick the postage label and the sender details sticker to the outside, and then take your box to any UK Post Office - click here to find your nearest Post Office branch.

The Post Office will accept the parcel at no cost to you; then, we'll begin appraising your items when your box arrives in our Leeds-based facility.

2) By booking a free home collection

After signing up, you'll receive details on how to book your free Parcelforce home collection. You can also book a collection here.

Please ensure your box is securely packaged and ready for collection. There’s no need to attach any labels or stickers, as your Parcelforce driver will provide everything needed.
We're a no obligation service, so you're welcome to decline any offer made should it not meet your expectations. If you decline our offer, we will return your whole parcel of items at no cost to yourself.
