Unique Vintage Sale Dates (2025) | Year-Round Sales Calendar

Unique Vintage runs major sales tied to US holidays and two big semi-annual events. The Semi-Annual Summer Event happens in late June with up to 50% off sitewide plus extra reductions on already-discounted items.

Other big moments include Memorial Day (late May), Fourth of July, Prime Days (mid-July), Labor Day (early September), Halloween (October), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (late November), and a Winter Semi-Annual Event (December). Between these peaks, the permanent sale section offers ongoing markdowns.

The June and December Semi-Annual Events deliver the steepest discounts, with savings reaching up to 50% off regular prices plus additional reductions on sale items. These are confirmed by deal-tracking sites as the two most aggressive discount periods.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday and Memorial Day also bring strong sitewide savings (typically around 40% off). If you're hunting for Halloween costumes specifically, October is your window, with themed collections discounted throughout the month.

Yes, most sale items can be returned within 30 days of delivery as long as they're unworn, unwashed, and have all original tags attached. You'll get a refund to your original payment method (shipping charges are non-refundable).

However, items marked “Final Sale” or with prices ending in $.97 cannot be returned or exchanged. Also excluded: Special Occasion Dresses, Bridal Dresses, hair accessories, beauty products, makeup, lingerie, hosiery, and underwear. Always check the product page before buying.

Free shipping applies to orders over $150 (after discounts, before tax) within the lower 48 US states. Orders under that threshold cost $8.99 for flat-rate shipping, which takes 8-14 business days once shipped.

International customers can also qualify for free shipping: Canada requires CA$250+, UK requires £150+, EU Zone requires £175+, and rest-of-world needs $200 USD+. In-store pickup at the Burbank, California location is always free.

Most major sales run for 3-5 days. For example, the Fourth of July Sale typically runs July 3-6, while Prime Days runs for about 3-4 days in mid-July. Semi-Annual Events can last several weeks with different phases and discount levels.

Some promotions get extended—like the Mother's Day sale that was stretched by 24 hours. Flash sales may only last 24-48 hours. The permanent sale section on the website is always available with rotating inventory, separate from these timed events.

Yes! The Devoted Darlings loyalty program is free to join and has tiered levels. Everyone starts earning 1 point per dollar spent, plus 150 welcome points and 300 birthday points. Spend $250 to reach “Crush” tier (2.5 points per dollar), or $550 for “True Love” tier (3 points per dollar).

Higher tiers unlock double points on weekends (1.5x-2x), early access to sales, and bonus birthday points. UV Pay cardmembers automatically start at Crush level. Points can be redeemed for discounts, though they generally can't stack with other discount offers.

Retailers like Nordstrom carry Unique Vintage with their own sale and clearance sections, often featuring markdowns that run on different schedules than unique-vintage.com. Nordstrom frequently discounts Unique Vintage dresses, tops, and accessories during their seasonal sales and Anniversary Sale events.

Sizing varies significantly by item and brand. Unique Vintage's own-brand items tend to run true to size, but third-party brands like Hell Bunny often run smaller. Always check the specific size chart for each product and compare measurements to your own.

Unique Vintage charges a $7 flat fee for prepaid return shipping labels. This fee is deducted from your refund amount. However, returns are completely free if you drop them off at a Unique Vintage retail store or a Happy Returns location.

Shoes carry an additional 10% restocking fee. Items that arrive damaged or are returned in poor condition (pet dander, stains, requiring deep cleaning) may incur extra fees ($25 for deep cleaning). Original outbound shipping charges are never refundable, and international orders cannot be returned.

Generally, reward points cannot be stacked or combined with existing promotional offers. This means during major sales events when discount offers are active, you typically can't apply your accumulated points on top of those savings.

Your best strategy is to use points during non-sale periods or on full-price items when no other discounts are running. You'll still earn points on sale purchases (building your balance for later), but you won't be able to redeem them simultaneously with active sale discounts.
