Consignment 411
Here are answers to our most asked questions!
How do I consign?
We do consignment BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. To make sure we process YOUR items and give you proper credit, we need to schedule our consignors. Call us: 510-521-3313 to make your appointment. Please have patience. We are popular with consignors and usually have a month waiting list. We are now accepting Walk-In Wednesdays! Consignors may bring up to 10 items between the hours of 11:30 am and 5:30 pm.
What do I consign?
If you have visited our shop, you know we offer lovely clothing, shoes, accessories and gift items that are geared to the high end market. All different tastes and sizes are celebrated. If it would make a woman feel beautiful, we are interested. Shoes need to be like-new, and clothing should be cleaned and preferably pressed when you bring them in. Colors we tend to need the most: Orange, Pink, Red, Aqua/Turquoise, Lavender, Green. More common colors like tan, brown, gray, black, black & white tend to be full, and we can't take items if we don't have a place for them. IF YOU'RE AN ARTIST, WE WANT TO SUPPORT YOU! HANDMADE ARTS, CLOTHING & CRAFTS ARE ADORED HERE!
How does the consignment work?
We offer a 40% share when your item sells. When your item is logged, a tag is produced that shows 3 prices . The highest price is reduced after 30 days by 20%; after 60 days the price is reduced by 30% off of the highest price. We reserve the right to offer discounts up to 15% at our discretion and when running store promotions. Items will remain for sale in our store for 120 days. It is up to the consignor to reclaim items by making an appointment for items to be pulled. If such action is not taken, item will be automatically donated at/after120 days.
When do I get my money?
Consignors can pick up their checks at anytime on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; we are closed on Mondays and we do not write consignment checks on Wednesdays or during store special events. We encourage you to check your on-line account (the information is on your agreement form) to see if you have a credit.
What happens to my items after 120 days?
Once your items have been on the floor for 120 days your unsold items can either be donated or you can pick them up. We donate all our unsold items to the local Midway Battered Women's Shelter. If you wish to recollect your items, please call ahead of time and allow us 3-5 days to pull your items. Please call before the 120 day consignment period is complete.
What if something is lost or damaged?
While we do what we can to prevent theft, loss & damage, it does happen from time to time. Aphrodite's Closet does press charges against any person caught shoplifting. We are unable to reimburse our consignors for these occurrences.
What if I change my mind?
You are welcome to pick up your items at ANY time for ANY reason. Up until your item sells or 120 days, you maintain ownership of it. Please call ahead of time and allow us 3-5 days to pull your items.
