Typewriter warranty
With normal care, a typewriter serviced in our workshop can keep writing for the next twenty years. Our warranty covers the first stretch, so you can start typing with peace of mind.
Depending on the machine and the cover you choose. 24 months includes our optional one-year extension.
From our workshop in Fuengirola, southern Spain.
Your warranty
The warranty period applicable to your machine is stated clearly before purchase. If no shorter warranty is stated, our standard one-year commercial warranty applies.
Default cover
Your typewriter comes with a one-year commercial warranty from delivery, unless a 90-day limited warranty is clearly stated in its product description or product photos before you buy.
If no shorter warranty is stated, one year applies.
Only when clearly stated
Some pre-war, rare or delicate typewriters need gentler use, and spare parts can be difficult to find. Where we state “3-month limited warranty”, cover lasts 90 days from delivery.
These machines are intended for occasional letters, notes and light typing, following our guidance. They are not intended for heavy daily use.
If a problem develops during the warranty period while the machine is being used as recommended, contact us. We will assess the issue and help with the next step.
Your first week together
Within seven days of delivery, please inspect your machine and confirm that it arrived in good working order. This activates your applicable worldwide commercial warranty and creates a useful record of its arrival condition.
If anything is not right on arrival, do not tick “working correctly”. See our delivery damage process, even when the outer packaging looks undamaged. For technical questions later, talk to the workshop.
Unpack carefully and check its condition and typing. Keep the packaging while you check everything.
Use the same order number from your purchase confirmation. Your email lets our workshop identify and reply to your activation.
Only tick the confirmation if you have checked the typewriter after delivery and it is working correctly.
Before dispatch, we photograph your typewriter and record video evidence of its mechanical operation and cosmetic condition. Your arrival confirmation helps us distinguish its condition at delivery from damage that may occur later, and provides important evidence if we need to investigate a transport incident with the courier or insurer. This is a simple protective step, not a reason to expect a problem.
Fields marked * are required.
What your cover includes
Our commercial warranty covers faults in materials or workmanship during your applicable warranty period, when the machine is used according to our guidance. Repair of covered faults is free of charge. Vintage character and everyday wear are different from a mechanical defect.
Unsure whether a problem is covered? Send us the details. We can assess the machine and explain the next step. Delivery damage has its own reporting process below.
Here if you need us
Your warranty is here for peace of mind, not because we expect a problem. If a mechanical concern arises after arrival, describe it to our technician. If something was damaged in transit, please use our separate delivery damage process.
A separate process from mechanical warranty support
An intact box does not always mean an intact machine. A hard impact in international transit can affect delicate mechanisms even when the packaging looks undamaged outside. We have photographs and video evidence of your typewriter's cosmetic condition and operation before it left our workshop.
Please tell us as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours. We ask you to document any arrival damage or transport-related malfunction within seven days, so evidence is still available for the courier and insurer. A later report will be assessed according to the circumstances and applicable rights.
Why the timing matters. Couriers and insurers always ask when the damage was first reported. If ten days pass, they will ask why, and they may decide the damage happened after delivery. Packaging gets thrown away, and memories of the handover fade. A quick report with photos keeps the claim strong, for you and for us.
If the typewriter is working correctly, please complete warranty activation instead. For a mechanical question arising later, talk to our technician.
For valuable machines we may ship with signature on delivery, so the handover is recorded.
We compare your report with our pre-dispatch photographs, working-condition videos and shipping records. Where transport damage is suspected, we help investigate and pursue the appropriate courier or insurance claim. We may ask you to cooperate with an inspection or provide additional evidence.
Minor concerns may be resolved with remote guidance. More serious cases may require an authorised inspection, repair or other appropriate remedy, including replacement, partial refund or full refund where justified. The available solution depends on the findings, your destination, the shipping arrangements and applicable law.
Cross-border claims can take time, especially when a courier investigation, specialist parts or international return transport is involved. We will explain each step rather than promise an instant automatic refund. Damage caused by accidents, misuse or improper handling after delivery is outside our commercial warranty.
Early reporting helps preserve courier-insurance evidence. These reporting requests do not remove any non-excludable statutory consumer rights.
A few useful answers
From gifts to an extra year of cover, here are the questions that often come up.
You can still contact us for online technical support. Send your order details and we will explain the support available for your machine.
Your rights under applicable consumer law are not affected by missing the activation step.
The commercial warranty is for the purchaser or an adult recipient agreed with us. If the typewriter is a gift, arrange the transfer with us before purchasing. Other changes of ownership are outside this commercial cover.
Contact us first. We will confirm whether a return is needed, where to send it, how to pack it and the shipping arrangements before anything is dispatched.
Please do not arrange an unauthorised repair.
Contact us before purchase to check which extended cover, if any, is available for your machine, its fee and its terms.
Where offered, our one-year extension starts immediately after the original warranty ends and covers parts and labour for faults in materials or workmanship.
If an issue develops within the 90-day period while you have used the machine properly, for the occasional light typing we recommended, talk to our technician.
We will assess what has happened and help with the next step. Stop using the machine if there is a mechanical problem, and speak with us before attempting a repair or asking another workshop to intervene.
Please get in touch with the model and a description of the issue. We can discuss the technical support or repair options available and confirm any cost before you decide to proceed.
This commercial warranty is additional to your rights under applicable consumer law. It does not limit your right to remedies for faulty or non-conforming goods.
Those rights are not affected by activation requirements or the conditions of this commercial warranty.
This time it went properly. While unpacking I sang.
Discovering how careful and thoroughly the machine was set in its boxes I smiled. Pulling Olivetti lettera 32 into the light and typing I was laughing out loud. This experience superseded all former disappointment and frustration.
It arrived in my room as a long lost spirit.
Thank you all for your heartfelt professionalism.
No longer à computer controlled letter puppet.
I feel relieved.

The El Granero cover for my typewriter really met all expectations regarding durability and dust. Excellent product
Very smooth shopping experience. Arrived with no problems. I can type away now!
Hace poco conocí a Jacek y Ania para que me ayudaran a poner a punto mi máquina de escribir Olivetti Studio46. Me recibieron en su oficina-taller con mucho naturalidad y sobre todo compartiendo conmigo su simpatía, amabilidad, pasión y amor por su oficio. Y por supuesto consigueron un resultado espectacular con mi máquina, la cual cuidaré y utilizaré con mucha ilusión cada vez que escriba. Además, pronto empezarán con un curso de mecanografía, a cual, si mi trabajo me lo Permite, asistiré para sacarle e
Mayor rendimiento a mi “Oli” Mil gracias de nuevo, y a todos aquellos que tengáis una máquina de escribir que necesite de mantenimiento o reparación, no dudéis en contactar con ellos! Un abrazo fuerte!
This company is absolutely fantastic the work is very professional polished can't ask for better service love this company
Comunicação ótima com a equipa da El Granero, quer na escolha da máquina quer no seu envio. Tive um atraso na sua entrega dado que queria a minha máquina para escrever os votos de casamento. Felizmente, ainda chegou a tempo. Estou deliciada. Muito bem acondicionada.
Order lost in shipping between Spanish shipper and USPS in states.
El Granero is staying in contact and working diligently on their end to try to locate the package and resolve the matter.
The extra effort they are expending to ensure this relatively small purchase gets found and delivered is greatly appreciated and speaks volumes about the integrity of this small, family owned business.
Excellent service. I ordered typewriter ribbons for my Hermes Baby and they arrived in the mail within days.
He tenido problemas con mi máquina Olivetti Collegue y, la verdad, que encontrar a esta gente ha sido toda una suerte. Muy formales en cuanto a los tiempos de recogida y entrega, muy atentos en el trato y muy cuidadosos en el embalaje. La máquina ha regresado nueva, y además me han hecho algún obsequio! Muchas gracias por todo.
El Granero provided me with an exceptional level of service, attention to detail, and authentic communication. I purchased the Olympia typewriter from a friend and noticed the "a" key was not working properly. When I attempted to make the adjustment myself, the arm broke off, which began my journey of research to find a professional restoration service. Coming across El Granero, I noticed they had a 50 euro option to repair the typewriter (with shipment to-and-from their location in Spain). The process was not as difficult as I had anticipated, and the owners provided updates, videos, and demos of the fixes they made to my typewriter. I am truly grateful that they were able to not only fix the "a" key, but fully tune and restore my typewriter to its former glory. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I am now creating performance pieces with confidence, and writing with great pleasure.
Son encantadores, unos profesionales como la copa de un pino. Trabajo rápido e impecable. Repetiré sin dudarlo.
Tuvimos la gran suerte de conocerlos en persona, a ellos y a sus mascotas.
Experiencia de 10.
Maquina repasada, limpia, engrasada y en perfecto estado.
La maquina tiene mucho valor sentimental, por eso ocupa el mejor sitio de casa.
Total confianza, muy profesionales y amables, tienen unas piezas muy exclusivas y cuidadas. Totalmente recomendables!
Excelente en todos los sentidos. Amabilidad y compromiso. Muchas gracias por todo.
Ania and Jacek were so helpful and made this purchase as easy as can be. My typewriter was packed incredibly well and arrived safely and is a real beauty. I'm thankful I don't live near their shop, otherwise I'd probably be buying more of their beautifully restored machines. :-)
A beautiful accessory for your typewriter. Quality craftsmanship that perfectly matches the spirit of a 'vintage' object. Highly recommended!
Absolutely beautiful Typewiter, restored to perfection, all wrapped with great love and care. It was a present for my husband’s 50th birthday and it couldn’t have been any more perfect. Thank you Ania and Jacek!

These guys are very knowledgeable and super helpful! They answered my queries with patience and shipped my order securely. I will be buying more typewriters from them in the near future!
In 2021 I had bought a beautiful Olympia Traveler de Luxe...it looked like new. Between moving from one country to another and place to place I was finally able to bring it with me. I lost the manual and was stuck. I was scared so I contacted them quickly via Instagram. Not even 2 minutes passed and I was resolving the mess I had. They sent me the manual and wow it was working again. They even sent me photos with drawings so I could understand since I am new to this world of clippers. Super happy, and now let's write!
Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that your Olympia Traveler de Luxe made the journey with you and is back to working like new. It was our pleasure to assist you quickly and provide the manual and helpful drawings. We're glad to have made the process easier for you as you dive into the world of typewriters. Happy writing!
El Granero does a fine job. I once had two rare typewriters of the same make and model. Both had problems. However, they were able to fashion one working and complete Groma Kolibri typewriter to me. I was on holiday in southern Spain shortly after the work was complete. he went out of his way to deliver the machine to our hotel. superb service everytime I have worked with El Granero typewriter.company.
I am very pleased with the typewriter I ordered. The restoration is great and I’m very much looking forward to writing with it.
Ha sido fantástico: me dejaron en un estado fenomenal una máquina antigua que no había quien diese algo por ella. 100 por 100 recomendables
Articolo non funzionante troppo caro
It's gorgeous and perfectly restored!
I'm so happy with the service experience provided by Ania and Jacek. I am also thrilled with my typewriter, which arrived in perfect condition. Despite placing my order on New Year’s Eve, they were open and promptly responded to my emails, offering suggestions and helping me find what was best for me. I was looking for a typewriter with a Danish keyboard and they were the only ones I found in Europe that could accommodate my needs. I was amazed by their effort to accommodate my needs. It was a perfect service experience. I will definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a typewriter. They are true professionals.
No tengo palabras para describir lo que sentí al recibir la máquina de escribir. Fue indescriptible. Está super bien restaurada y funciona a la perfección. Es una de esas cosas que no pasan desapercibidas por la vida de uno y que tienen un valor que va más allá del material. Gracias por hacerlo posible.
This is my first Hermes Baby, It is in good condition it is clean and pretty ! really an ultraportable one ,ready to use .Thanks to Ania of El Granero for keeping track of the shipment ,for packing it securely and giving an additonal extra touch of wrapping in time for Christmas .I really appreciate it .Of course for the wonderful cute typweriter Pin and dust cover freebies ! 😍
I couldn’t be happier with my shopping experience with El Granero! To no fault of their own, the first typewriter I purchased was lost in the mail, but El Granero was quick to help me out. They found a replacement that fit all of my needs and were able to refurbish it and send it to me before a deadline that I had.
During every step of the process they were there to answer my questions and to make sure I felt great about my purchase. I definitely felt supported by them.
I’ve already begun using the typewriter I purchased to write personal letters to friends and family and it couldn’t be more perfect. It’s been professionally serviced and works flawlessly! Thank you for the great typewriter; it’s already one of my favorite things I own.
Beautiful little black Olympia typewriter. Eager to start using it. Thanks for the excellent service. A big thank you to the team for providing such outstanding El Granero service. Your efforts haven't gone unnoticed. Best!
