Policies
Shipping Policy
Petty Sales ships from the studio in Mexico City. There is no walk-in showroom. The catalog is a purchase request, not an automatic charge. The piece is packed only after the PDF invoice is paid.
How an order ships
Add pieces to the bag and submit a purchase with the shipping address. Choose domestic / national shipping ($25 USD) or international shipping ($60 USD) at checkout. The studio confirms availability and sends a PDF invoice with the piece price plus that shipping line.
Pay the invoice by PayPal or Mexican bank transfer. We pack after the invoice is paid. Typical preparation is 1 to 4 business days after payment, unless the invoice states another date.
We are not a same-day courier. Tracking is sent when the parcel leaves.
Mexico City and domestic Mexico
Domestic / national shipping is $25 USD. Transit after handover to the courier is typically 1 to 3 business days in Mexico City and the metro area, and 2 to 6 business days to the rest of Mexico. There is no walk-in and no meetup. If a local delivery is missed twice, the studio may convert it to a paid shipment or cancel the handoff. Freight already spent is not returned.
International
International shipping is $60 USD when the destination can receive insured parcels of vintage clothing, leather, or silver. Some countries refuse used garments, leather, or high-value goods — we will say so before you pay.
Air transit is typically 3 to 8 business days to the United States and Canada, and 5 to 12 business days to Europe and the rest of the Americas, plus customs. Asia and other destinations are confirmed on the invoice.
Duties, VAT/GST, broker fees, and any customs hold in the destination country are the buyer’s responsibility (DDU) unless the invoice says otherwise. The U.S. de minimis exemption is no longer generally available; expect possible duties on incoming parcels.
Risk, insurance, and claims
Parcels are packed discreetly. Risk of loss or damage passes when the carrier accepts the parcel, unless the invoice states otherwise. Title passes when payment is credited.
If a parcel is lost or arrives damaged, write within 48 hours of delivery (or of the tracking showing delivered / lost), with photos of the packing, the label, and the piece. We open a claim with the carrier. A delay in transit or customs is not a loss and is not an automatic refund.
Incomplete addresses, refused parcels, and unclaimed branch pickups are the buyer’s cost to reship or return. Completing payment means you accept this shipping policy.
Terms of Service
These terms apply when you use pettysales.com or send a purchase. Petty Sales is an independent Mexico City archive. We are not Chrome Hearts, Enfants Riches Déprimés, or any other house whose name appears on a piece.
The catalog
Photographs are of the actual piece in the archive. Condition is vintage unless a grade is marked. Size is shown only when the studio has confirmed it. Captions and designer names describe the object. They do not mean we represent that designer.
The amount on the piece is the asking price. The PDF invoice after confirmation is what you pay.
A purchase
Submitting a purchase is an offer. The studio may accept, substitute, or decline if a piece has already left. A contract exists when we send an invoice and you pay it.
Do not treat the bag as a hold. Pieces can sell while an unpaid bag sits in the browser.
Payment
Pay the invoice by PayPal or Mexican bank transfer. There is no card checkout and no Shop Pay on this site.
Contact
Write through the purchase form or Instagram @pettysales.
Privacy Policy
An order includes your name, email or phone, shipping notes, and the pieces in the bag. We use that to confirm availability, send the invoice, and ship. We do not publish orders or sell that list.
What stays in your browser
The bag is stored on your device until you submit or clear it. Submitting an order sends the bag contents to the studio.
What we store
Submitted orders are stored so we can fulfill them. Invoice payment details (PayPal or bank) are used only to match that invoice.
Instagram is a separate service if you write @pettysales there.
Ask us
If you want an order forgotten after it is closed, write the studio on the same channel you used to buy.
Refund Policy
All Petty Sales purchases are final. We sell unique vintage, archive, and pre-owned pieces as photographed (“as is”). Wear, marks, color variation in photos, and irregularities of vintage objects are not defects.
What is not refunded
No refund or exchange for a change of mind, fit, or aesthetic preference. International parcels that have left, customs delays, and duties do not create a right to return the piece.
Shipping, once the parcel has left, is not refunded unless the studio packed the wrong item.
What we will review
Wrong item, an undeclared material defect, or non-delivery caused by the studio. Write on the same channel as the sale within 48 hours of receipt (or the legal window that applies), with photographs.
Distance-sale withdrawal under Mexican consumer law (generally five business days from receipt, unused and in the condition delivered) is respected where it legally applies. It does not apply to pieces inspected and accepted in person, or to goods that cannot reasonably be returned given their nature.
Acceptance
Completing payment, accepting the PDF invoice, or receiving the piece means you have read this no-refunds policy. If you do not agree, do not pay.
