About Oldboy

 

  1. Welcome to Oldboy, where interior design from days gone by comes alive through the eyes of a 30-year-old collector named Alexander, distributing from the vibrant city of Antwerp, Belgium. Despite being born after the heyday of interior design from the 1950s to the 1980s, my heart is captivated by the essence of that era. In my never-ending quest, I seek out pieces that can make our hearts skip a beat, whether they are timeless classics that have stood the test of time or hidden gems that have yet to be discovered.

    General

    1. For the best personal advise and experience; we recommend to book an appointment in advance. Feel free to contact us by phone or use the contact field above to clarify your wishes.
      Please note that all prices on our website are excl. shipping costs.
      We only sell original authentic vintage pieces, restored and checked where necessary. In the condition report you will find a clear note of the condition of the item, please read the text carefully before buying a product. Of course, these are old and used pieces so there are always normal marks of usage and wear that may be expected from a piece with a certain age. There could always pop up unforeseen defects, whether or not you use it, before or after the purchase of your piece. We feel obliged to solve this, within a reasonable amount of time after purchase, please read our return policy carefully.

     

    Payment

    1. We always send an official invoice that is legally valid and this includes all our company details and numbers to make a bank wire transaction. We do not have Paypal and our bank does not accept credit cards so a bank wire, or cash upon delivery (if we deliver it ourselves), is the only possible way of payment. Bank charges would be for the account of the buyer. The invoice number should be noted as reference to the payment so we know what item is paid for. If payment is not made within 14 days after the invoice was send, we assume you are no longer interested in the item and we will release the hold

     

    Shipping & Return policy

     

    Delivery in Western Europe

     

    For deliveries within the Netherlands, Belgium, northern France, and western Germany, we offer personal curbside delivery. This means we deliver the item to your address, but we do not carry it inside your home.

    All other deliveries are also door-to-door, which typically means curbside delivery by the transport company. If you require in-home delivery and unpacking, we are happy to arrange a white glove service upon request. A quote can be provided.

    International Shipping

     

    For deliveries outside Europe, we work with international carriers such as UPS, FedEx, DHL, and TNT. Once an item leaves our showroom, we no longer have control over its handling or transit. While we will always do our utmost to support and mediate in case of any shipping issues (including delays, damages, or losses), our role is limited to assistance.

    Insurance is available but not included by default—please let us know if you would like to insure your shipment. Unless otherwise specified, the standard delivery timeframe is up to 12 weeks.

    Damages in Transit

     

    Please be aware that insurance does not automatically guarantee reimbursement in case of damage during shipping. It is crucial that you notify us of any damage within 2 days of delivery.

    When receiving a package, inspect it thoroughly. If there is any visible damage to the packaging, report it immediately to the delivery driver and ensure they make a written note of the issue. This helps establish that any damage occurred during transport, not after delivery.

    Do not sign for a package as “received in good condition” without inspecting it first. If you do, it becomes extremely difficult to claim damage occurred in transit. If you were not home at the time of delivery, or the courier left quickly, contact the shipping company immediately, file a claim, and request written confirmation.

    Before opening a damaged package, take clear photos of the exterior. After opening, document the interior and any damage to the item itself. This photographic evidence is essential to prove that you were not responsible for the damage. If the damage is only visible after opening (i.e. not noticeable on the outside), please start documenting from that point.

    We are not liable for losses or damages during transit, but we will do everything we can to support you in resolving any issues. Please retain the original packaging and all packing materials until the carrier’s investigation is complete, which may take up to 4 weeks. If you dispose of the damaged item or packaging before the investigation is finalized, unfortunately, no compensation or further assistance will be possible.

    1. Returns

       

    2. If the product is not what you expected, does not suit your space, or simply doesn’t work for you, you may return it within 14 days of delivery. The item must be shipped back within this 14-day window. Returns sent after this period will not be accepted.

      A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns to cover handling, repackaging, and relisting. Additionally, shipping costs (both ways) are the responsibility of the buyer.

      To avoid unnecessary returns, we strongly encourage you to ask any questions prior to purchasing. If you are unsure whether a product will fit your space or meet your needs, please reach out—we’re happy to provide additional information, photos, or measurements. In some cases, depending on the product and destination, we can advise in advance whether a return is feasible.
