How Consigning Works at Julia’s

With a consignment shop the process is as follows:

We have a section of the shop for selling clothing and handcrafted items on behalf of other people .

You select your items in good to excellent shape and bring them in. The first time you visit the shop, we will talk about pricing items and bringing them in in “Ready to Sell” condition. You set the prices and get them ready for the racks. In follow up visits, you can use “drop and run” procedures and we will hang them, price them and get them ready for you. As a consignment shop owner, I then take your items, display them attractively in the shop, post photos on the shop’s webpage, Instagram and facebook pages.

We strive to give our customers a great deal on a gently loved item that would otherwise cost much more in retail stores and our seller a convenient way to clear out clothing and toys to generate a little cash. Many stores have different policies and ways of doing things so make sure to ask as many questions as possible when you are consigning with anyone. I do a 40/60 consignment split on clothing items and a 30/70 split on handcrafted/boutique items, which simply means whatever the final price of the item sells for we split it with 60% (or 70% for craft items) of the selling price going to you. We keep most items for a 90 day period. The items must be in good to excellent condition, no rips, tears, stains, pulls of any kind. The items are all washed, dry cleaned, pressed and ready to go.

Now as a customer walking into a consignment shop some might feel that prices are too high in general, while others are brand conscious and see the great deals they are getting. As a seller, you can be assured that we market all of your items consistently and we strive to take the stress out of the selling process for you. Any items that are unsold and in turn donated after the allotted time period then go out to local places or people with the need for them. Most consignment shops are very friendly and their goal and purpose is to help you dress your family for less.

You can always find some great deals if you are a bargain hunter like myself! In most cases all sales are final and there is a no return policy in effect. Never be afraid to ask any and all questions. I feel there are never any stupid questions. You don't have to spend a lot of money to look like a million dollars!

Bigger, Better, Beautimous!

The new shop is coming together and we are enjoying all of the extra space to fill with new yarn and more colors.  Come by and visit us soon.

New things...

We are all moved in and unpacked.  This is a peek at the new department.  There are lots of unique items on the racks just waiting for our new customers.  The new shop has two big rooms.  One is filled with yarny goodness and one is filled with clothing items that will make everyone smile.  Several of the regulars who have helped move us have already walked out with great finds.  

We accept gently used women's, children and infant clothing on consignment.  One of our most popular sections is the maternity section.  If you are interested in consigning items, bring them in clean, pressed and ready to sell.  We list most items for 3 months. Payment is sent out via Paypal when the item sells.  If you would like more information, email or call the shop.

StitchBox!

Every month you can have a box of yummy yarn and notions delivered right to your door.  We look for the most wonderful, yummy yarns and send them right to our most special shoppers.  Order yours on our facebook page or through the website.

New section of the shop coming soon.

We are adding to our shop and offering more to our fantastic customers.  A lot of young families need a way to stretch that family budget and we hope to help with that.  Children outgrow their clothes so quickly and they are nearly new when they've been worn just a few times.  Recycle those clothes and put a little money in your pocket by selling them with us.  Come see us at the shop for details.
