Ordering + delivery
Delivery and shipping: vintage furniture
Vintage furniture isn't ordered like a flat-pack chair. A 3-metre farmhouse table, a solid oak shop counter or a 1950s sideboard call for the right logistics: made-to-measure packaging, carriers used to fragile pieces, and constant care at every stage. We choose the carrier according to the piece and the destination: every shipment is different, and we adapt.
Our carriers
Depending on the weight, size and fragility of the piece and on the destination, we work with different companies:
Colissimo: for small objects and accessories (under 30 kg). Tracked delivery in 48 to 72 hours.
Cocolis: a collaborative transport platform specialising in bulky items. Ideal for large furniture within France, at competitive prices.
Magic Movers and Ferta Group: carriers specialising in antique furniture and valuable objects, for deliveries that need particular care or difficult access (upper floors without a lift, cluttered rooms, furniture to be dismantled). Ferta Group covers the whole of Europe for the most precious pieces.
DHL and FedEx: for international shipments and lighter pieces going to Europe or further afield.
Lead times depend on the piece and the destination, from 48 hours for a small object in France to several weeks for an export container. We give you a precise estimate with the quote.
Delivery in mainland France
We deliver all our antique and vintage furniture throughout mainland France, including Corsica. Home delivery, to the foot of your building or into the room of your choice, depending on the option chosen.
Shipping costs are calculated case by case, according to weight, size and destination. Write to us for a free quote: we usually reply within 24 hours.
Delivery in Europe
Mein Lieber regularly delivers to Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom. Depending on the piece, we use Cocolis, DHL, FedEx or our partner carriers, always with reinforced packaging for long distances and real-time tracking provided at dispatch.

International delivery and export
We also ship to the United States, Canada, the Middle East, Asia and the French overseas territories. We work with a network of forwarders and carriers specialising in the export of collectible furniture: shared or dedicated container depending on volume, professional packaging, customs paperwork handled.
Our interior designer and decorator clients based in New York, Los Angeles, London or Dubai regularly receive pieces from our selection. Distance is no obstacle.

Collection in person: our workshop in Neuville-sur-Saône
You can also collect your piece directly from our workshop in Neuville-sur-Saône, 25 minutes from Lyon, close to a motorway exit if you are coming from Paris or the south. Collection is free and lets you discover the rest of our selection on site.
Remember to bring a vehicle suited to the size of the piece. We can advise you on the type of transport needed. Find out more about the showroom and book a visit →
Packing and care
Every piece is carefully packed before shipping: corner protection, bubble wrap, moving blankets, wooden crating for the heaviest pieces. A 1950s oak sideboard or an old farmhouse table is not an ordinary parcel, and our carriers know it.
If you notice any damage on delivery, please write precise reservations on the carrier's delivery note and contact us immediately with photos. We take care of the claim with the carrier.
