Welcome
Thank you for taking the time to browse our shop. We have many standard items as well as some very rare and collectable ones. Some items will not be able to be restocked and so make sure you don't miss them.
GUARANTEE
All our telephones come with a life time of ownership conditional guarantee. See terms and conditions below for full details.
TERMS AND CONDITION
1 We have now updated our guarantee to cover the life time of your ownership. We will repair any fault free of charge that may develop over the life time of ownership. This will not cover mouldings fabrics or finishes but will cover any electrical or mechanical fault that may develop under normal use. The telephone must have been sold as a working and not as a collector’s not working item. The fault will be repaired but if you require it to be restored in anyway this will be chargeable. It will require you to produce a genuine invoice number and proof of identity will also be required. It will not include any postage and packing costs which will be your responsibility both to and from our address after the 14 days cooling off period. This will not be transferable to anyone other than the name on the invoice. This guarantee will be terminated if “Antique Telephones” is sold or ceases trading. We cannot be held responsible for any changes in technology that may make it unworkable in the future with either your exchange or other telephones on your system.
Items for sale are kept as original as possible but may have new parts fitted where it is not possible to get old replacements. We buy lots of items that may have passed through many hands including private collectors and dealers and so cannot be held responsible for any parts that may have been replaced or repaired and not noted in the description. If you are not happy in any way at all please return within the cooling off period as stated above. No returns or money back can be given after this period.
