What happens if my item(s) sell?

• You will earn 50% of the selling price if the item is sold within the up to four-week-selling period
• The Consignment Shop mails checks to consignors for 50% of the full selling price of your merchandise three times a year: December, March & June.

• You may reclaim unsold or unaccepted items at any time up to the date on the RTO reminder—Tuesday  through Saturday.
• Unclaimed articles will become the property of the Consignment Shop. 

May I reconsign items that do not sell?

• ​Yes. Items may be reconsigned ONE time but must be removed from the shop for at least two weeks before they may be reconsigned;  items must have original WSL consignment tag attached.

What else do I need to know?

• Although all possible care is taken with your property, articles are consigned at the owner’s risk. The Consignment Shop is not responsible for damage or loss by fire, theft  or vandalism. We carry no insurance covering loss to you. If you cannot find an article on the selling floor, a lost claim card may be completed and submitted to staff or Consignment volunteers.
• Due to our large number of consignors, we are unable to provide information on your consigned items over the phone. Please visit us in person to receive your unsold/sold merchandise .
• Due to space constraints within the shop, we may discontinue taking particular items for a short period. Please call Monday afternoons for items that we may not be accepting for the week.
• We reserve the right to close due to inclement weather. To check if we are open, please call or visit our website, Instagram feed or Facebook page.
