FAQ

Tips to maximize the value of your items


  • MAKE IT SHINE.
  • Hardware on high quality fashion accessories can be quickly brought back to glistening condition with a little dab of silver polish and a dash of elbow grease. Be sure to use a polishing cloth and test a small area before going to town. For the sparkling jewels be sure to use a general jewellry cleanser or give it a good blast of steam before having it appraised.
  • BUTTON UP.
  • A new set of buttons can make a drab item look dynamite. There are many well-stocked button sources that can be found online, we recommend lotsofbuttons.com. With that said, make sure the buttons you use don't compromise the item's integrity.
  • TAKE OUT THE SEWING KIT.
  • Take a needle to your items and make sure there are no open seams, loose buttons, or falling hems. If you don't have the time or patience, most dry cleaners and tailors will do this at very little cost.
  • SHOE POLISH IS A WONDERFUL THING.
  • It can make your favorite shoes everybody's darlings.
  • CLEAN AND PRESS
  • There’s nothing worse than receiving items covered in cat or dog hair. Take your items to a dry cleaner you trust and have them delivered clean and pressed. We only take items that can go right onto the selling floor.
  • BRING IN ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES.
  • Deliver your items with all the original accouterments (paper work, receipt, etc...) Having all of the original documentation is a huge selling point and will go a long way at the cash register.
  • NEVER REMOVE THE LABELS
  • Removing labels devalues the garment if the labels or stamps are missing so deal with the pesky label... never cut them out.
  • DON'T STORE ITEMS IN A BAG BY THE FRONT DOOR
  • They tend to get wrinkled and look worse for wear. In most cases they will not be considered for consignment.
  • BRING YOUR SHOES TO THE SHOEMAKER.
  •  A $20 repair or leather cleaning and conditioning could make you another $100 on consignment. It’s well worth the investment.
  • WORKING ORDER.
  • Zippers, snaps and buckles need to all be working properly. If they are not, take them in to be repaired.




 

        HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FIND OUT IF YOU'RE ACCEPTING MY ITEMS?

  • If you bring your items to the store, we will tell you what we are accepting on the spot. An itemized list will follow via email outlining the prices within 1-3 business days. If you ship your items to us, you can expect an itemized list within 3-5 business days from the day we receive the package.
  • DO I NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT?
  • Nope! We see people all day Tuesday through Saturday from 10AM-5PM. Sometimes there may be a few minutes wait if we are helping another customer, but it's minimal.
  • IS THERE ANY PAPERWORK INVOLVED IN THE CONSIGNMENT PROCESS?
  • Every consignor is asked to fill out a short consignment agreement in order to open an account with us. We need your Name, address, phone number and email address so we keep in touch and know where to send the checks!
  • HOW LONG WILL I NEED TO LEAVE MY ITEMS WITH YOU?
  • Contract is for 90 days sometimes longer depending on season, before returning them to you or sending to charity!
  • WHO OWNS THE ITEMS ONCE THEY'RE IN THE STORE?
  • Your items belong to you until they are sold or put on deposit. We are happy to return any piece that hasn't sold as long as you give us 48 hours' notice. There will be a 25.00 cancellation fee per item returned within the first 90days.
  • HOW ARE ITEMS PRICED?
  • We have many years of experience within the high-end fashion and designer consignment industry. We price each item according to our expertise and knowledge of the secondary market, always considering the retail value.
  • HOW MUCH WILL I MAKE?
  • We split the proceeds with our consignors 60/40 on wedding dresses and 50/50 on all other items.
  • WHEN WILL I GET PAID?
  • Consignor payout checks are available to pick up in store on the first business day of each month. If you prefer, you can choose to have your check mailed for a $3.50 service fee or leave your outstanding balance plus 10% on account to pay for items purchased in the store at any time.
  • WHAT IF MY ITEMS DON'T SELL?
  • If your items haven’t sold by the end of the consignment period, merchandise can either be returned to you or donated to charity. Please note that Sewing Shack does this as a convenience and that we are not a charity. We are not authorized to issue tax deductions. If you choose to have your items returned to you, Sewing Shack will notify you via email and asks you pick them up within seven days.
  • CAN I DONATE MY EARNINGS TO CHARITY?
  • Absolutely. Many consignors choose to set up their accounts so that checks are automatically issued to their charity of choice.
