We provide tax forms upon request after the end of the year. Exceptions to this policy can be made for select high-end items. Please contact us for more information.

DROP OFF PROCEDURE

Once you’ve consigned with us by appointment, you may drop off your items at your convenience!  If you haven’t consigned with Secondi before, please call to make an appointment.

How it works:

  1. Bring your items during Secondi hours (we ask it not be right as we open or right before we close). Please refer to “What We Accept for Consignment” section above. Feel free to email us (secondi.dc@gmail.com) photos of your items before you bring them in. Please limit your email to 5 photos (1 item per photo). Please attach/embed them, for security reasons we are unable to click links or download shared files.
  2. Complete and sign the Drop-Off Form (downloadable below), or fill it out at Secondi.
  3. Leave them with us and we will review them within a 2-9 days. We will then email you a list of what we accepted, the prices, and what was donated.

We are unable to review your drop-off with you in person when you bring it in, and we are unable to return items once they have been dropped off. Please schedule an appointment if you want to keep items we don’t take.  Any consignment that is mailed in will be considered a drop-off and reviewed as such.

Label Guidelines

These are guidelines and are not set in stone.  

Please don’t take offense with any brands on the “No” List–this list is determined by what our customers are looking for.

Our general rule is that if it’s hard for you to part with, it will probably sell well!

*While we do accept items by labels marked with an asterisk (*), we are very selective.
