Early Access at House of Hummels
Early Access is a private purchasing option for collectors who want first opportunity on select pieces before they are released through our public retail channels.
Subscribers receive a brief daily or occasional email featuring newly available items. These pieces may later appear on Etsy, eBay, Marketplace, or in auction, but Early Access subscribers have the first opportunity to purchase.
How Early Access Works
Early Access emails are sent as items become available. There is no fixed day or time.
Each email includes:
- A short list of available items
- One primary photo per item
- Item number and price
Listings are intentionally concise. Early Access is designed for buyers who are familiar with our standards, photography, and service and feel comfortable purchasing without a full retail listing.
Purchasing Process
- Sales are first come, first served
- To purchase, reply by email with the item number(s)
- The first confirmed request secures the item
- If a sale falls through for any reason, the next interested buyer will be contacted
Invoices are sent via PayPal.
Condition & Guarantee
Unless otherwise stated, all Early Access items meet our standard definition of collector quality:
- No chips
- No cracks
- No repairs
- No crazing
Our 100% satisfaction guarantee applies to Early Access purchases exactly as it does with all House of Hummels transactions.
Shipping
- Free U.S. shipping on all Early Access purchases
- Items are packed to the same professional standard used for our retail and auction sales
Who Early Access is For
Early Access is best suited for:
- Experienced collectors
- Repeat buyers
- Those familiar with our photography, descriptions, and packing standards
- Buyers who value early opportunity over extensive listing detail
It is not intended to replace our retail channels, but to offer a streamlined option for trusted buyers.
