CONSIGNER BEWARE: I am very unhappy with Consigning Design's new management rules for being reimbursed for consigned clothing sales. First of all, you have only two months for your clothes to sell. They don't correspond to let you know when the time is up. They do have a website to keep up with your sales, but if you miss the deadline, they keep the items for their own profit. Secondly, you have to wait until the total amount reaches $25 before being reimbursed. Thirdly, they will not pay cash, only a check, so they claim they have to wait a full month later to send a check. \r
\r
Example: I brought 13 items in November 12, 2013. My contract ends January 12, 2014. 4 items sold between 11/15 and 1/5. Only until the 1/5 sale did the amount reach over $25, so according to the employee I just talked to, I have to wait until 2/15 before they will cut me a check....even though I am picking up the rest of my items tomorrow. This is wrong....a check should be cut to me on 1/15. \r

By the way, this employee was not concerned or helpful, in fact, I told her due to all of this I will never shop there again or bring in my items for consignment. She didn't care. I have consigned with them for 4 years, and shopped there as well. I have brought friends there too, but no more. \r

If you want to consign with them, be very aware their new rules are geared for them to make as much profit off your money as they can by keeping it as long as they can. Waiting for my money an extra month reeks of dishonesty.
