BECOME A CONSIGNOR!
If you're exploring consignment as a means to sell your gently used furnishings, it may help you to :
REVIEW WHAT WE ACCEPT FOR SALE. Make certain your merchandise is the type and condition we accept. Please do your best to form an honest assessment of your items. If you tell us over the phone that an item is clean, and it shows up dirty, we reserve the right to refuse it. If you tell us it’s structurally sound and it shows up with a loose leg or arm, a bottomless drawer, or a seat that sinks to the floor when you sit down, we reserve the right to refuse it.
CONTACT US WITH QUESTIONS. Our goal is to avoid the inconvenience to you of having to load large furniture items (or for that matter a large volume of small home décor items) and transport them to the shop only to learn that we can’t accept them. Feel free to contact the shop if you aren’t sure about an item or have any questions about our policy.
SEND OR BRING IN PHOTOS! A picture really is worth a thousand words. Take digital photos of your items and bring them into the shop or email them to us at shoph2h@aol.com.
Please disclose damage or other particulars about the condition of the pieces you’re seeking to consign. Damage doesn’t automatically disqualify an item from consignment, but depending on the type of damage will affect the sales price. We may consider it for our SOW'S EAR COLLECTION.
KNOW YOUR CONSIGNMENT GOALS. Is it more important to you to get a bunch-o-money, or do you want a quick sale and quick cash? Or do you just want the item(s) out of the house/garage/basement/storage unit, etc.?
If you fall into the "bunch-o-money" category, tell us what you hope to receive from the sale of your item(s). It's never in our best interest to entice a consignor with false promises of unrealistic returns. If we don’t think we can meet your expectations, we’ll tell you.
If you just want quick cash, tell us. We'll price your merchandise to sell as quickly as possible.
And if you just don't care, we'll establish a fair price and start from there. 95% of our consignors fall into this category. They have no further use for their items, need them gone, and let us "do what we do."
One more thing...It's not uncommon for us to be neck-deep in incoming consignments, so it's very likely that your merchandise will not get onto the sales floor right away. Depending on how many items arrived ahead of yours, it may take up to a couple of weeks. If timing is an issue with you, let us know.
LABEL YOUR ITEMS. Help us make certain you're properly credited with the sale of your merchandise. Label each item with your name or consignor number before you head for the shop, or be prepared to label them when you arrive.
TRANSPORT YOUR ITEMS TO THE SHOP. You are responsible for getting your items to the Shop. Please make certain you bring adequate man (or woman) power to off-load your large items. If you don’t have a way to get large items to the shop, call us. We can give you the name and number of someone who can.
YOU DON'T NEED AN APPOINTMENT to bring your consignment items to the Shop. However, if you're a first time consignor it’s a good idea to call ahead to make sure someone will be in the shop who can take time to go over your items and explain to you why certain items are or are not acceptable. If that’s not possible, that’s okay. Just sign our Consignment Agreement and leave your items. We’ll go through them and contact you to let you know what, if any, items we cannot accept and give you a specified time within which to pick them up. NTYs (“No Thank Yous” – i.e. items we cannot accept) that are not picked up by the specified date will be donated to charity.
If you show up at our door with large items that haven't been screened, be prepared to take those items home with you until the shop owner can confirm acceptance.
CONTACT THE SHOP TO DISCUSS AN ONSITE ASSESSMENT OF YOUR MERCHANDISE. You may have a large volume to merchandise you'd like us to consider. If you don’t want to spend your afternoon taking digital photos of an entire household or storage facility contents, we can make an appointment to come to you. And don't worry. An onsite assessment doesn't obligate you to consign your items with us. But it will provide you with information necessary to decide whether consignment is the right choice for you. When we leave, you'll know which of your items we can take, and where we'll start the prices on those items.
SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR YOUR CHECK! You can opt to pick your check up at the shop or have it mailed for a charge of $1.00. You can also opt to take your balance as a shop credit to be applied toward future House to House purchases.
