First Time Consignor FAQ


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 schedule an appointment and review our FIRST TIME CONSIGNOR FAQ above.

How it works:

  1. Bring your items during Secondi hours (please not at opening or closing times. Please allow for time to list your items if you need to fill out the form here at Secondi).
  2. Please refer to “What We Accept for Consignment” section above, and our Label Guidelines section for the season we are accepting. Feel free to email photos of up to 5 items before you bring them in. Please attach/embed them, for security reasons we are unable to click links or download shared files.
  3. Complete and sign the Drop-Off Form (downloadable below), or fill it out at Secondi.
  4. Leave your consignment with us and we will review it within a 2-9 days. We will 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.


CURRENT CONSIGNORS

Check your Secondi account balance online below!  Your default username and password will be the email address Secondi has on file for you.  If you have any technical issues please contact us.

Donation Records: we provide, by request, yearly donation tallies after the end of each year. Please request this year’s donation form after December 31st.

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.

Towards the end of each season we focus on “transitional” items. We will likely pass on many items from the closing season, but not be ready yet for items for the upcoming season. Please send us photos of prospective items for feedback.
