How to Consign
Make an appointment:
When you make an appointment, we go through your items while you wait, and return any "no-thank-yous" on the spot. Please email us for an appointment: You may bring two shopping bags for appointments.
Or
Drop and Run:
You are eligible to drop and run with us if you have previously consigned via appointment and have a current master contract on file. When you "drop and run", you simply leave your items and we go through them at a later time. You must choose to return within 7 days to claim any "no-thank-yous" or they will be donated without notice to you on the 8th day. You may bring a maximum of ONE shopping bag for drop and runs.

frequently asked questions
How do you keep track of my items?
We use a sophisticated computer program designed specifically for the consignment business. You receive a consignor number, and every item is entered in the computer under your account. As your items sell, your account is instantly credited. You can easily reference your account online to tell you exactly what your balance is, what has sold, and what you have left in the store.
How long is the consignment period?
60 to 90 dependent on the item & season.
What is my share?
The consignor receives 40% of the sales price, less sales tax and any fees incurred. On items priced over $100 the consignor receives a 50% share.
How do you set prices?
We use several factors including current retail prices, demand for the particular item, and the quality of the item. We do not set prices based on what the consignor paid for the item originally, although we do take that into consideration.
Do you do preset markdowns?
No. To garner the most money for our consignors, we do not mark down clothing regularly; instead, we hand pick certain items for the sale rack, when space is needed for new clothing. We also have seasonal sales to clearance out items as the next season approaches.
How do I get paid?
You may stop in at any time to claim your balance in person. You can spend the credit in the store or take a cash payment. Any balances over $25 will be issued a check. Checks can be mailed at your request less .50 for mailing.
What happens at the end of my contract?
You have a 10 day grace period to claim any unsold items. Any items remaining in the store after that become property of A Wee Change to dispose of as we see fit.
Anything else I need to know?
Any other details are listed in your consignor contract, which we give you when you consign with us. |
