Consignor Policy

Consignments Are Accepted By Appointment Only .

A. Appointment and Item Preparation

• If for any reason you cannot keep your appointment, please cancel as soon as possible.
• You may drop your items off prior to your scheduled time in order to keep your appointment.
• Rejected items must be picked up within 7 days of your appointment or they will be donated, without notice, to a local charity (or disposed of if warranted by the condition).
• You may bring up to 30 items per appointment. Items should be season appropriate.
• All clothing must be:
  • Current Fashions, within the past 2 or 3 years.
  • Good brand names only. T&T will not accept K-Mart (Rt 66), Walmart (Faded Glory, Circo), Target (Cherokee, Merona, Xhilaration), or similar inexpensive brands. Please call T&T if you are not sure.
  • Ready-to-sell condition (clean & wrinkle free)
  • Clothing should be folded neatly and placed in a laundry basket, box, or paper shopping bags. NO PLASTIC BAGS- they cause clothes to wrinkle.
  • Items that wrinkle easily can be brought in on hangers. However, this is more time consuming so please limit the number of items on hangers.
• Toys must be clean and contain all pieces.
  • T&T does not accept games or puzzles that contain a lot of pieces unless they are new with sealed packaging.
• Battery operated items must have working batteries so we can tell they are in working condition.
• Electronics must be new or easily tested.

B. Sale Terms

• All items have a sixty (60) day consignment period, which begins on the day of your appointment when your items are accepted at full selling price.
• Each consignor is responsible for keeping track of their original appointment date and expiration date. No notice will be given by T&T to pick up unsold items.
• If you would like to re-claim any unsold items you must do so prior to your expiration date. After sixty (60) days, any remaining items become the property of T&T and may be sold or donated without consideration being paid to consignor.
• You will receive 50% of the selling price for the sixty (60) day period.
• Items may be put on sale at any point in order to move inventory.
• Holiday merchandise goes 50% off the day after the holiday and within a few days it moves to 70% off. The items are only kept in the store for approximately one week after the holiday, regardless of how many days the items have been there.
• T&T is not responsible for locating any unsold items.
• T&T is not responsible for any type of damage to or theft of consigned items.

C. Consignment Appointment

• T&T will assign you an account number that stays with you throughout your relationship with T&T.
• All consignment activity is accessed using your account number or name.
• T&T will inspect your items at your consignment appointment. Any items we feel we cannot sell will be returned to you.
• T&T sets the pricing for the items.
• If you cannot stay for your appointment and just drop your items off, you have 7 days from your appointment date to pick up the items we don’t take. Again, after 7 days, the rejected items will be donated to a local charity.

D. Reclaiming Consigned Items

• If you would like to re-claim any unsold items you must do so prior to your expiration date. After sixty (60) days, any remaining items become the property of T&T and may be sold or donated without consideration being paid to consignor.
• It is the consignor’s responsibility to locate any of their unsold items. Once found the consignor must bring them to the front desk and remove the hangers.  T&T will verify the account number and cut the tags off of each item.
• If you reclaim items that do not sell please DO NOT bring them back to try and sell them again.
• It is the consignor’s responsibility to bring their own bags/containers, if necessary, when removing their items.

E.  Consignor Credit/Checks: 

• Consignor Credit:
  • Any money earned on the sale of your items may be applied to purchase(s) in the store.
• Checks:
  • Checks are written once a month.
  • Checks must be requested by the third Wednesday of the month. Checks are not automatically written.
  • Your check may be picked up the following Wednesday, or anytime thereafter. NO CHECKS WILL BE MAILED unless a self-addressed, stamped BUSINESS SIZE envelope is provided.
  • If check is lost, stolen, or stale dated, there is a $2.00 service charge to re-issue the check.  (This is separate from a stop payment fee for a lost/stolen check.)
