TERMS, PHOTOS, PICKUP AND DELIVERY...
TO CONSIGN WITH US - A contract must be signed and in place before the items for sale are listed on the site. An inventory list is also required, not only to inform us of what you are selling and your requested pricing, but to help TTS and you to keep track of what you have consigned and what has sold. The inventory list is available by download from the FORMS page, or you can suggest one by email. You can also view the contents of the contract and download it on our FORMS page. If you do not have a printer available, please let us know. We can supply both forms by USPS mail service.
CONSIGNMENT TERM - Our sale term is 45 days. Any unsold items are removed from the site the day after end of term and returned to the consignee within 5 days unless notified before the sale term is over. At end of sale, the contract can be renewed for another term by written request. Our 45-day term will help the rotation of items for sale and will give you the opportunity to exchange any items that didn't sell with different ones that might. Please do not sell your items outside of the consignment contract while your items are still active on the website. Selling items outside the website and out of contract will void full contract and re-listing with TTS may be denied.
ORGANIZING ITEMS - Organizing your clothing items before they're picked up will be a great help! Please place them in a box or bin no larger than 3ft x 3ft x 3ft, to keep them from becoming too bulky and heavy. You may submit more than one bin at a time if needed. Your items will be stored in them during the sale, but will be returned to you if requested so on the contract form. If the request is not marked, it is understood the box or bin will become the property of TTS at the end of the sale.
SALE ITEM PICTURES - TTS will photograph, process and upload pictures of your items to the website at least 5-7 days after pickup. Please be assured that any pictures will be removed from the site and deleted after a sale. If you choose to submit your own pictures, you are welcome to do so by flash drive or email. Your flash drive will be returned to you as soon as possible and will not be held during the sale of your items. Your photos will not be used for anything outside of the TTS website. Please mark the area on the Inventory Form if you are submitting a flash drive.
(See the Contract for more information on picture processing. HERE)
CONSIGNMENT PICKUP - Consignment pickups are available Monday through Saturday by appointment only. We reserve the right to refuse to consign any item which does not meet our specifications. Items are accepted at our discretion of their condition. You will be notified within 5 days of any items that are unacceptable and they will be returned to you. (Items may sometimes be reviewed at time of pickup.) At sale end you will be notified of your sales and an appointment made for delivery of unsold items within 5 days. If you choose not to reclaim your unsold items or bins please inform us in writing before end of sale if not already marked on the contract form. Payment for sold items will be granted within 10 days after the sale term ends.
PRICING - The inventory list contains a column for your requested pricing. If we at TTS feel your requested price needs any adjustment higher or lower, we may call you to negotiate the pricing for that item. If you should want to re-list your items after the first 45-day sale term, you are not required to re-list at a discount price. However, our re-listed pricing discount will start at 10%, but no more than 50%, depending on the number of times you re-list an item.
SALES TAX - As a buyer, because we reside in and sales are held in, Lee County, City of Giddings, the usual sales tax of 8.25% will be charged on all sales at time of checkout. As a seller/consignor, this rate is not charged in addition to your sales and is not collectible by you. TTS collects and pays to state all sales taxes. In other words, TTS does not charge you the sales tax. You will be paid your sale price minus any discounts and the consigning fee of 40%.
SALES DELIVERY - Yes, I said DELIVERY!! Purchases you have made will be delivered by TTS until further notice. Shipping is expensive for you and for TTS. Why spend $6 or more on shipping when we live in the same community? We will deliver your purchases to your home within Giddings city limits. We can also meet you in a public location within city limits if you'd rather. Today's lifestyle is a busy one and we will work with you to get your purchased items to you quickly and at no extra cost to you.
