Last week we achieved a milestone 10+ years in the making, we made our website shoppable!
This might seem like a small thing in today’s market, and you may be rolling your eyes thinking ‘why has it taken you this long?’
Well, let us tell you, antiques are unique! There is no set size, shape or value. They are also not restocked or available in multiples. Add on that couriers do NOT like insuring antiques or art – and you can see that the task is not as easy as it might seem.
This has come up as a need for the business over and over again, but we have never quite got it across the line. So, in October of last year, we set ourselves a 6 month timeframe to be up and running, and 4 months later…well, we had smashed it!
This has been a truly collaborative effort, with lots of troubleshooting, testing, retesting and refining – a massive thank you to everyone who has been working hard to make it happen.
For now, all items are available to purchase with ‘collection’ or ‘arrange your own shipping/contact us for a quote’ options, and most items have a UK shipping option. The plan is to grow this over time to offer our oversees customers similar options, but as our products are so wonderfully unique, as is the world we are shipping in, it does make this a little more complex – so bear with us!
As we introduce more exciting new additions into our collection, we hope this will make our customer journey smoother and all the more enjoyable!
