Women's Department Information

 

The Stork Exchange has recently added a Women’s Department. We are featuring Upscale Brands, Designer Handbags and Jewelry. Because the department is new, we are temporarily limiting the amount of clothing that each consignor may bring in to 20 items per visit. Clothing should be in perfect condition, current styles, in season and be a name brand. We ask that Women’s Clothing be brought in on hangers only. For the time being, Women’s Clothing will not be subject to an automatic markdown. If you are unsure of what we are looking for, please call ahead and we can answer any questions you might have. The following is a guide to help make the consigning process easier for you.

Women’s Clothing Guidelines

1. Clothing should be clean, pressed, current style, in season and on hangers. Clothing is accepted during regular business hours. No appointment is needed. 

The Season changes are as follows:

Spring - February, March, April  

Summer - April, May, June

Fall - August, September, October 

Winter - October, November, December

2. Please limit the quantity to 20 items each visit. This amount will allow us to be fair to all our consignors.

3. Brands that are selling well include Ann Taylor, Talbots, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor Loft, Liz Claiborne, Ralph Lauren, Laura Ashley, Geoffrey Beene, Boutique Brands & Designer Labels. While these are just a sampling of the name brands, we are definitely looking for any "upscale" brands and styles.

4. Handbags and shoes are being accepted on a limited basis temporarily. They should be new or in "like new" condition and be a top quality brand.

5. The consignment period is 90 days. Clothing will sell at full price for the first 30 days.  It will then be discounted 20% and 40% each 30-day period.  Consignors will receive 50% of the selling price.  Prices are determined by The Stork Exchange and are approximately 30-50% of the original sales price. 

6. There is a semi-annual consigning fee of $3.95 ( January - June and July - December ) and a minimal ninety cent per item stocking fee. The consignment fee will be deducted from your account at time of consignment. After 90 days, items become the property of The Stork Exchange and are usually donated but may be sold or discarded. Consignors may take back unsold items up to 2 weeks before the end of their consignment period. Once an item is consigned, it must remain for the full consignment period, except for the 2 week grace period. If you would like your unsold items back, we ask that the consignor keep track of their consignment time and expiration dates. We are happy to supply that information during store hours. 

7. Funds are available 3 days after an item has been sold and posted.  Amounts up to $50.00 will be paid by cash in the store. Balances more than $50 will be paid by check. Checks will be issued on demand ( by the owner of the store ) or mailed within 7 days. Automatic monthly checks may be requested and are mailed by the 7th of each month, for those accounts with a minimum $50 balance. Account balances may also be used as store credit.

8. Although all possible care is taken of your merchandise, The Stork Exchange is not responsible for theft or undisclosed damage at the time of consignment.
