VINTAGE INDUSTRIAL ART DECO MID CENTURY SHOPPING CART

Hello. Bidding on a truly unique and interesting vintage 40's or 50's shopping cart. Fantastic wire construction with a art deco, mid century design quality to it. Great sculptural design with orange colored original paint, that has wear to it that also gives the piece a nice worn industrial shabby feel to it as well. Hard rubber handle. Old wheels, just a great conversational piece that could be used for several functions if desired.

Size & Condition

Size: 28" l x 18" d x 38" tall. In overall very good vintage condition. The paint has wear throughout in a desirable way. One front wheel is missing some ball bearings that makes it stiff to turn and roll.

Shipping & Handling Options

Greyhound

The price of shipping and handling via Greyhound Xpress is: $90. This is our default shipping price on the invoice. If you wish for another form of shipping, please let us know and we will adjust the invoice accordingly. In most instances, you will have to pick this item up at your local Greyhound terminal. Some locations offer home delivery, but most do not. To find location nearest you go to: www.shipgreyhound.com. To find out about home delivery options call: 1-800-739-5020

U-Ship, Plycon or Personal Freight Options

These are door-to-door, generally blanket wrapped, freight options on your item. We are finding more that you can find relatively inexpensive door-to-door shipping on larger items by submitting the shipping request through www.uship.com where independent shippers will competitively bid on your shipping request. In some instances the door-to-door quote can be about the same as Greyhound or Forward Air. This option is to be arranged by winning bidder. We will be happy to assist if necessary. To receive a quote via Plycon, call: 773-640-510, or visit www.plyconvanlines.com. You can give them the dimensions listed in the description above. We would estimate the weight between 50-75 lbs. We live in Indianapolis and our zip is 46260.

Local Pick-up

Local pick-up is always welcome, provided you give us plenty of flexibility. Thanks.

PLEASE READ OUR SHIPPING POLICIES BELOW FOR ALL RESRTICTIONS AND LIABILITIES

PLEASE NOTE: Because of increased volume and the nature and time involved in carefully packaging furniture, PLEASE ALLOW 2-3 WEEKS FROM PAYMENT FOR DELIVERY. We try to deliver quicker, but your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated in this matter as we are a one man packing crew, and just want to get the item to you as safe as possible, and not kill myself in the process due to rushing through a large volume of items. Thanks.

Payment Conditions:

We request payment or contact informing us of payment within 3 days of purchase. We reserve the right to relist an item if payment or an arrangement for payment has not been made after 5 days. If purchasing a Buy-it-Now item, we require immediate payment. Sorry for all of the conditions. We are ultimately patient and agreeable, but have had a recent rash of no contacts and non-pays.

Shipping Policies. Please read carefully:

Here is our policy on shipping. We generally encourage you to arrange, or have us arrange a secure form of shipping, notably blanket wrapped freight or professional pack and ship, as this has proven to be the safest and most reliable delivery method. In some cases we must send an item this way regardless based on size, weight, fragility, significance of value or volume of shipping we are involved in. In most instances we will end up absorbing some of the shipping costs to ensure it is shipped the proper way and allow us to maximize our time. We understand that it is also not always the most economical way, but if it is an item that you truly value, we would encourage you to go the extra expense to have it packed and shipped professionally. We prefer to ship most items via Greyhound, or Forward Air, and in some cases, because of size and weight, Forward Air may be the only option if we ship the item for you. We have found over the years that these options are safer and cheaper for shipping larger items. In some instances Greyhound will also deliver door to door in some cities. Please call your local Greyhound Package Xpress if this is something you are interested in, and if it is an option in your location. Otherwise, you will need to pick it up at the terminal. PLEASE NOTE: the downside to shipping with Greyhound is they will only insure an item for up to $300. Please, specify which service you desire if you have us ship the item. Because of the amount of volume and handling FedEx and UPS have, large packages run the risk of getting beat up pretty good, so please be aware of this in your shipping decision. For freight shipping, we would recommend Plycon. You can call them for a quote at 773-640-5110, or get a quote online from their website www.plyconvanlines.com. You can also shop competitive quotes at www.uship.com. PLEASE NOTE: if you decide to have us ship or arrange to ship an item, we will apply insurance to the shipment where applicable, but will not take any responsibility for any lost or damaged items. We will file a damage claim on your behalf, but will not be held responsible for the outcome of the claim. Please understand that while rare, shipping accidents occasionally occur no matter what precautions are taken, especially with glass or marble items. In some instances conventional shippers will not insure glass or marble items, so please note this when bidding. We would strongly recommend that any item with fragile materials be shipped with a professional packing service or freight company. Please note our shipping policies as a stipulation for bidding. Also note: because of increased volume, please allow @ 2-3 weeks from payment for delivery.

Also Note:

No refund will be given, partial or full, unless an item has been significantly misrepresented. The items we deal in are vintage by nature, and commonly have the type of wear that you would associate with a vintage piece that has seen typical use over the years, including, but not limited to: light scratching, scuffing, minor edge bruising, some light finish wear, some staining and natural wear to upholstery fabric. We will call out any major condition issues, but these conditions should be presumed, unless otherwise noted. We encourage you to email with any questions or concerns. Thanks.
