Kind Closet Consignment Agreement

In an effort to operate a viable local business, provide an opportunity to generate revenue from your unwanted apparel, and support charitable organizations, the following procedures have been established.

CONSIGNMENT DETAILS:
The consignment split is 60% Boutique and 40% Consigner for a period of 75 days (unless otherwise negotiated).  We retain the right to use our discretion in pricing and discounting items. Consignment proceeds are available by store credit immediately upon sale of items. Checks can be issued when account balance exceeds $75.  As an incentive to use your earnings as store credit or donate them to the JCAPS animal shelter fund, a $5 check fee will apply when payouts are issued.  Each consignor is allowed to bring in up to 20 items in a 40 day period.  This number is subject to change due to limited space on site, if we fall behind on processing or other unforseen circumstances that may arise.

GUIDELINES FOR SEASONAL APPAREL:

Spring/Summer are accepted March-July.  Examples: tanks, cold shoulder tops, sleeveless dresses, skirts, shorts, capris, swimwear, sandals

Fall/Winter are accepted September-January.  Examples: jackets, sweaters, hoodies, long sleeve dresses, boots, scarves

4 Season items are accepted year round.  Examples: t-shirts, jeans, maxi-skirts, purses, jewelry

Please note: Items brought in during the incorrect season may be put into the JCAPS fundraising account.  February & August are dontation only months.

GUIDELINES FOR CONSIGNED ITEMS:

We accept ladies, mens, & childrens clothing, shoes, accessories and purses. Apparel must be freshly laundered: free of debris, pet hair & unpleasant odors.  Shoes should be thouroughly cleansed.  Items must be in excellent condition.  New or like-new condition is preferred.  Brand Name items are preferred. Sizing tags must be attached & legible or the item may be donated.

Please be mindful that our store is operated by one person; so I can’t guarantee your items will be reviewed immediately. Please allow up to 4 weeks for processing and tagging.  As a policy, I do not return items to consigners in the event that an item doesn’t sell.  Please review consignor responsibilities.

CONSIGNOR RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Sift through items in advance. Include only the items that meet quality standards:  check for evident wear & tear, holes, stains, pet hair & debris, fade, snags, broken zippers, missing buttons, tarnish, tangles, etc.  We have limited space to store unwanted/unsellable inventory. Any items deemed unsuitable for the sales floor will be donated to a charitable cause.

2. Label & collect your containers. For items to be credited to the proper account, ALL CONTAINERS MUST BE LABELED with your first and last name or consignor number. As we have limited space, it is your responsibility to retreive containers in a timely manner if you need them back.

3. Notify us of any address or information changes. This ensure checks, emails & calls are sent to the correct location.  

4. Join our Kind Closet Consignors group on Facebook.  This is the easiest way for us to bulk notify our consigners when people are looking for specific items or a change happens in the quantity allowed to bring in, etc. 

5. Share posts on Social Media platforms. If you want your items to sell faster, we need your help to spread the word that we have good things available here.  Don't have social media?  Word of mouth is the best form of advertising!  Remember to send people our direction.  

6. To collect unsold items prior to the 75 day owner transfership date if you intend to reclaim ownership. By signing this form, you agree to transfer ownership of any unsold items to the boutique owner 75 days after the drop-off date. If you wish to reclaim ownership of your items, it is your responsibility to gather unsold inventory for removal from the premisis before the ownership transfer date. Please mark your calendar if you indend to retrieve items that haven’t sold.  Reminders will not be sent out; as with the nature of consignment, most items are brought here because they are no longer wanted/needed.

By signing this agreement, I acknowledge that I have read and agree to the above terms and conditions.  I agree to hold Kind Closet and personnel harmless in the event of inventory loss.  I have read and undertand all of my consigner responsibilities.
