There is one way to send your Group of items to us.
3.1 Parcelforce pre-paid postage label
3.1.1 Each welcome pack contains two pre-paid postage labels. In order to send us a Group of items you must affix one of the labels to the parcel containing your Group of items (each a “Parcel”) and send it to us from a Royal Mail Post Office.
3.1.2 You agree that Vintage Cash Cow may place restrictions on the type, size, or weight of Items that you may send using the pre-paid label provided to you. The weight must not exceed 30kg. The size of the Parcel must not exceedthe absolute maximum size of 3 meters length and girth combined with a maximum length of 1meter. This is calculated as the depth x 2 + The width x 2 + the length. So if you have a carton that is 33cm x 44cm x 50cm that would be fine as the length is under 1m and the total cube is under 3m as the calculation is 33cm x 2 (66cm) + 44 x 2 (88cm) + 50cm= 204cm it cant go over 300cm (Which is the 3 meters).
3.1.3 Vintage Cash Cow offers a claims process for Parcels lost in transit. Call us on 0800 246 1111 (it's free, even on mobile) or email us on hello@vintagecashcow.com for details of how to use this.

Please ensure that you package all Items that you send to us carefully as we will only Appraise Items on an ‘as is’ basis.
3.1.5 Please note that each Parcel is insured up to a value of £300. If you believe that the Group of items that you wish to send in a Parcel is worth more than £300 then please call us to discuss how best to deliver it to us before dispatching it as per clause 3.1.1. Vintage Cash Cow will not be liable for your decision to send a Group of items worth more than £300 to us in a single Parcel, so please do not do so without contacting us first.
