CLOTHING CONSIGNMENT POLICES

Our policy and guidelines for clothing consignments brought in to our consignment processing department are as follows:

1. Consignors will be accepted on a membership basis for an annual fee of $10 per year. This fee will be an automatic deduction from your account on the anniversary of your membership. The initial $10 membership fee wil be deducted from your account within 3 days of the date of this contract. In addition, a drop-off fee of $2.50 will be charged to your account each and every time a consignment is brought in, regardless of size.

2. All items brought in for consignment must be clean, in season, in style, and in excellent condition. All items must be brought in ironed and on hangers, as wrinkles do not sell! Our job is to sell clothes, not clean or repair them. Your job is to bring us clothing in a condition to be sold. Please do not bring your clothes in on hangers which need to be returned. If you would like wire hangers, we can supply you with all that you need prior to or at the time you bring in your consignment.

3. Your consignment will go through our Processing Assembly Line, which includes several inspections. The first Processor inspects for very obvious problems--very bad condition, out-of-style, inexpensive brands, etc. Any items that are rejected and donated at this stage will not be itemized on your list. Only the number of items donated will be noted on your dropoff record. The remaining items go through several more stages, which include thorough inspections, changing hangers, determining sizes, entering into the computer, pricing, and a final inspection before going onto the sales floor. Items found during processing that are not suitable for consignment will be rejected. Reasons why items may be donated include the following: clothes are out of season, need cleaning or mending, have spots, are out of style, etc. In addition, any items that have been accepted for consignment will be donated for the following reasons:

i) Items are considered to be expired after being in the store 70 days and have not sold;
ii) Due to change of season, an item is no longer "in season";
iii) Or for any other reason the item is deemed not saleable.

Any items donated will be donated in your name, for which you may pick up a Donation Tax Receipt after January 1st for the preceding year.

4. We determine pricing. When items are sold, you will receive 40% of the selling price. Our price tags are dated. The date on the tag is the date that the item is put out in the store. After it has been out for 30 days, the price is reduced by 25%, after 45 days, 50% and 60 days 75% (our statistics show that 74% of the items we process do sell at full price). Any item not sold will be donated. You may pick up a check for money due Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., or you may use credit that you have on your account to purchase merchandise in our store, in any department, any day, any time during normal store hours.

5. From time to time A Second Look may, at its own discretion, decide to "fix" an item rather than donate it, or to "hold" an item that is out of season, rather than donate it. Due to the increased costs incurred by A Second Look in the way of employee costs to fix an item or storage costs for holding, your consignment percentage, on these items only, will be 35%.

6. A Second Look does not accept any jewelry on consignment.

7. Management will not call when items have expired or sold. You must assume responsibility for checking on the status of your consignment. Management will take reasonable care of all merchandise, but responsibility for theft, damage from fire, water, etc., will not be assumed. items brought in for consignment must be clean, in season, in current style, and in excellent condition (new or almost new).  Consignments are taken either by appointment or on a drop-off basis

8. You may call to check on your account at any time during normal business hours of 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Saturday and 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Saturday.
