Mercatino Milano Centrale

Hours need to be updated on Google. We arrived at the shop Sunday during the posted open hours of 10:00 to 19:00. When we went to enter, the door was locked and there was a paper taped to the door telling people that during July and August, they will be closed on Sundays. Maybe we will be able to go back when they are actually open. Update! We returned to the shop (not on a sunday) and it was open at the correct time. Very happy we tried again, because it is an amazing shop! Good prices on unique items! Definitely worth going and we will be back.

We bought a lot of things but the saleswoman did not provide us receipts and she said “because these are the used things, what you want more?” We have been to other mercatino usato shops in Milan and this one did not provide us discount for the products that more than 6 months, I don't know if it was because we are foreigners so they calculated with the full prices and then they also removed the tag prices during the checkout. The place is good to take a visit but way more expensive, we won't go back second time.

What a horrible experience!!!! I booked via email a chinese vase this morning as soon as it appeared on their website. Then, I phoned immediately to make sure that the mail arrived and that it is available, ie, that there are no other requests. The member of staff confirmed that I am the only one and said he would send me the email to pay for the item. I waited at home 2 hours, no email was sent. I called them, they were shut for lunch. After checking on their website, I saw the vase was sold, together with a successive Chinese vase to someone else! I phoned them and I was literary told-" Signora, non facamo polemiche, il vaso e venduto, mi dispiace e arivederci". I am shocked at this unprofessional behaviour of the staff of this mercatino. It seems they have priviledged customers that are served first and it makes no difference if you ask for something first-you will not get it. I am sure this is against the selling regulations and someone should look into this. Message for the owner-check what your staff are doing. Message for the other 10 people who also wanted to buy the small chinese flambe vase-you were screwed too. Shameful and unprofessional.
