Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make a purchase?
For now, all sales are handled on our instagram page. We are currently available only in Kansas City. Once you have claimed an item by commenting on it, we will send you an instagram message confirming your order! At that time you will be responsible for payment (via Venmo or CashApp), and we will arrange a delivery or pick-up time at your convenience.
​
For information on how to receive your order, please see "When will I get my order?".

What is your Return Policy?

What does "excellent vintage condition" mean?
Vintage items are inherently not new, and you can expect their condition to reflect their age and previous lives. We take pride in meticulous cleaning and restoration, and strive to accurately portray all items on our website.
If you have a question about a particular product, please reach out to us via instagram or at parakeetlabs@gmail.com.before purchase.
Are vintage items clean and safe to bring into my home?
Yes. Hygiene and cleanliness are very important to us. We respect the sanctity of your clean home, and meticulously deep-clean all items with attention to the requirements of their materials.
In regards to aesthetic blemishes, please see the Q&A on "Excellent Vintage Condition."
