How do I register for a trade ticket?

Simply enter your Porta Romana trade account details on checkout to access the dedicated trade day.

Can I bring people with me?

Absolutely though we kindly ask each attendee to register for a ticket to help us manage capacity.

Is my ticket for a specific time slot?

No – you are welcome to arrive anytime on your chosen day; last entry is 30 minutes before closing time.

What happens if it’s busy?

Please be prepared for queuing during peak times.

What will be for sale?

One-off, samples, seconds and ex-display pieces across lighting, furniture and mirrors.

Why are the items in the sale?

Most products are of very high quality – many are perfect, but are now no longer available. Rejects either have small air bubbles in glass, slight imperfections in the colour/shape or slight scratches in plating or glazes. Our design process is continual, leading to many prototypes and unique pieces.

Will everything be available every day?

Stock varies and is sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Can you tell me in advance what will be available?

All sale stock is handled off premises with no visibility available to our Sales team.

Can I collect items I have purchased at a later date?

All items must be taken home on the day.

Do you offer delivery?

We are unable to offer delivery; all items must be taken home on the day.

How much discount is available?

Prices across all products are highly discounted. Many are around 65% off retail price, products from newest collection are less. In some cases there is much more discount, up to 75%, on older furniture and glass designs particularly.

What payment methods are accepted?

Card payments only; all major credit and debit cards accepted including AMEX.

Is VAT included?

All products are individually priced and include VAT. In most cases the RRP will be displayed for comparison. The email receipt you receive after payment is your VAT receipt. 

Is there trade pricing/does my trade discount apply?

All pieces are shown at maximum discount, with no further trade discount to apply. We do offer a 10% discount on new non-sale orders placed on the day in person 

Are sale items returnable?

All goods are sold as seen and are non-returnable.

What if an item is damaged?

A small proportion of Sale items may have significantly more wear and tear than others which prices will reflect.

Do items come with a warranty?

Our standard two year warranty applies for wiring defects.

Parking

Parking is available on site, and our friendly team will be on hand to direct. Directions will be shared ahead of the sale to confirmed attendees via email.

Can I bring children / dogs?

Due to the volume of people on site, moving vehicles, and heavy equipment, we are unable to accommodate children or pets on site during the event. 

Is there food or refreshments?

We'll be serving light refreshments on site – tea, coffee, soft drinks. For a list of recommended local cafés, restaurants, and pubs for pre or post sale dining, get in touch with our team on sales@portaromana.com.
