UC Guidelines
General advice
-
Every piece is unique — once it’s gone, it’s gone.
-
It's a marketplace, not a store — we connect buyers and sellers; USED Creative does not handle shipping directly.
-
Pre-loved items have character — minor imperfections are part of their story.
-
Returns are vendor-specific — always check before buying or selling.
-
Communication is key — buyers and sellers coordinate directly.
-
Large or heavy items — use a courier equipped to handle them.
-
Transit insurance recommended — protect your item while it moves.
For Buyers
-
Measure twice, buy once — check dimensions carefully.
-
Shipping costs not included — buyers arrange and pay for transport themselves.
-
VAT added at checkout — the first price you see doesn't include VAT
-
Arrange collection promptly — avoid delays in receiving your item.
-
Import duties & taxes (international orders) — buyers are responsible.
-
Track your order with the courier — USED Creative does not provide tracking updates.
For Sellers
-
List accurately — provide clear photos and detailed descriptions.
-
Prepare for collection — pack and protect items carefully.
-
State your return policy clearly — buyers need clarity upfront.
-
Be responsive — coordinate directly with buyers for collection and delivery.
-
Access & handling — ensure details like stairs, narrow doors, or loading bays are clear to avoid delays.
