Policies on Consignment
- Merchandise Must Be:
- • New or gently worn
- • Selected from our brand chart (email us if your brand is not on the
list)
- • Clean and in wearable condition (If it has RIPS, TEARS or STAINS
please contact us via email or though the contact section, you will be
surprised on what we can make work)
- • 100% AUTHENTIC AND GENUINE
- •We accept clothing and accessories from every category (e.g.
Blazer/Jacket, shirts, pants, skirts, suits, etc)
- Things to consider when parting with your merchandise:
- This can be a huge dilemma. Here is what we tell our clients to do.The
question you need to ask yourself is, "Why am I getting rid of this
item?"
- Tip 1: If the answer is, "It's beautiful and I love it,
BUT..."
- • it will never fit me again
- • it's just not my color
- • my lifestyle has changed and I'll never wear it again
- • I've had it for a while/it was a gift, and the tags are still on it
- • it was an impulse buy and just isn't 'me'
- • I need the money
- Then you are on the right path. Holding onto clothing that you know you will
never wear again is like having money sitting in your closet instead of in
your wallet. Another great question to ask when looking through your closet
is, "Have I worn this in the last year?", if the answer is "No"
then it's time to get rid of it.
- Tip 2: If the answers are:
- • it's worn out
- • it needs repair
- • it's not very good quality
- Then your item might not be for us. Please feel free to contact using our
CONTACT page to see if we are interested it. You never know, one persons
trash is another persons treasure!
What to Consign
We suggest that our clients consign items that they have placed a little more value on but still
are no longer interested in holding onto. When you are selling an item to us, we suggest you
sell items that you would otherwise donate. On the other hand, consigning is for those people
who have an item that they no longer want but desire more money for it than we are willing to
buy it directly for. If you are stuck with a designer handbag, shoes, or suit that you just
don't know what to do with, give it to us to consign for you.
How to Ship to Us
Place all your items in a box and weigh it. Please take care when packing your items to ensure
they reach us undamaged. Send us an email with the weight of this box and your address. We will
reply with a prepaid mailing label which you must firmly affix on the exterior of the box. If
you would like a free pickup, please request so in the email, and for which date and from which
address. Also state if you would like to leave the box on the doorstep for pickup, or if you
would like the carrier to ring the bell.
How
We Determine Price
Once we receive your items, we examine them in order to determine how they will be priced to
sell.
We base our prices on four main criteria:
•Brand Name
•Condition
•Age
•Demand
Arrival of Merchandise
Once we receive your items and if they are approved for consignment, we will list them online for
sale for up to 90 days. Items will generally appear on our auction site within one week of their
arrival at our warehouse facility. 50% of our items sell within the first 14 days. Other items
need a little more work and may take the full 90 days to sell.
Payment Policy
•For items sold for $499 and less: You receive 50% of the selling price and we receive
50%.
•For items sold for $500 and more: You receive 60% of the selling price and we receive
40%.
•Your check will be sent out 1st of the month for items that sold in the previous month
between the 1st and the 15th. If your item sells after the 15th day of the month, your
commission check will not be sent out until the following 1st of the month. So for example: if
your item sells on November 12th, your commission check will be mailed out on December 1st. If
your item sells on November 16th, your commission check will be mailed out on January 1st. This
is to ensure ample time for the customer of the item to pay for their item, receive it, and
complete the transaction with us in a positive manner.
