Consignment Policy
We are happy to accept items by a Drop and Run service on Thursday, Friday & Saturdays ONLY! You must bring 30 items or less. Simply drop off your items during business hours and run. Within a two week period (Sometimes up to 3 weeks during our busy time- Summer) Narlie’s will review each of your items, choose which items to consign and donate the ones we are unable to consign. We have guidelines written out for you, that we use when going through your items. The consignor will not be notified of which items were donated. All items we were able to consign will be listed on the consignor account. You are welcome to call the store to verify we are currently accepting items as we have to pause some weeks to catch up. Otherwise check our Instagram + Facebook page as we keep that updated.
All items will be for sale a total period of 90 days. All items are subject to markdowns due to sales and specials or defects found after an item is on the floor at the discretion of the owner. Once your items have been out on the floor for approximately 60-70 days, the price will be reduced by 50%. After 90 days on the floor all items become property of Narlie’s Upscale Consignment Boutique. Items will then be donated to a variety of local non- profit charities. We do not return unsold items.
Narlie’s determines the pricing of all items. We generally price our items at 70% off of the original retail price. We accept women’s, mens and children’s clothing, accessories such as purses, jewelry and scarves. We also accept household decorative items. We do not accept wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses or prom gowns. No undergarments will be accepted. All items accepted must arrive in ready-to-sell condition, must be no more than 3 years old and in current style. All items must be freshly laundered, free of all pet hair, mothball smells, and from a smoke-free environment. Items must also have no stains, tears, holes, missing buttons or broken zippers. All shoes accepted must be in excellent condition. Item defects are sometimes found at a later date (i.e. after they are on the racks or while steaming). These items will be donated with no notice given. Narlie’s will charge a $5 fee, to be deducted from your account, if we are unable to accept 75% or more of your items due to guidelines not being followed OR if you bring more than 30 items at one time.
Seasonal Consignment Calendar
Spring and Summer Clothing- February through July
Fall and Winter Clothing- August through February
Consignors will receive 40% of the final selling price. Consignment checks will be issued at the beginning of the month for items sold the previous month. Checks are available for pick up in store from the 5th - end of each month, must bring a valid ID. Checks that are not picked up from the previous month will be mailed the beginning of the following month. Checks will be issued for amounts over $25.00. It is the responsibility of the consignor to collect any money under $25.00 when you no longer have any active items left on the floor. There is a $1.50 processing fee for all checks. After one year of inactivity on your account with an accrued amount of less than $25.00, the credit will become Narlie’s property. No notice will be sent. Consignors are welcome to apply any credit on their accounts to purchases made within the store.
Narlie’s will work diligently to care for all your consignment items. However we are not responsible for loss by theft, fire, water or any other damage. Items that are brought in are at the consignor’s risk.
