BRING YOUR ITEMS TO US

The first time you consign you will complete a Consignment Agreement and will need to show a photo ID.

  • Tuesday - Thursday Weekday Appointments: for any number of items, we schedule appointments Tuesdays - Thursdays. You can choose to wait for items to be reviewed (up to 50 items) or drop-off & either donate or schedule a pick-up date for items not selected for consignment.
    • Appointment scheduling will open on the 15th of each month for the following month. A link will appear on our website at that time. Once appointments are full for the month, scheduling will close until the following month. 
  • Friday & Saturday Walk-Ins: bring up to 20 items without an appointment on Fridays & Saturdays 11:00 am - 5:00 pm. You can choose to wait while we review (wait times vary) or drop-off and either donate items we don't take for consignment or we will arrange a pick-up date at that time. We will be strict about the 20-item limit.
  • Sundays: NO CONSIGNMENT is accepted on Sundays.

We will review your items and confirm the number of items taken for consignment. Items we are unable to consign will be returned to you by appointment or will be donated to our affiliated non-profit Seattle Women's Assistance Fund (SWAF). We may reject items if they are stained, soiled, out-of-date, or in ill repair as well as in consideration of our current inventory. Please review our Donation & Drop-Off Policy on our FAQs page.

Consignment Period

Once accepted, items are entered into our database and an inventory list with pricing and expiration date is emailed to you. Your items are available for sale for 90 days.

During the majority of your consignment period, your inventory will be sold at full price. Before they expire, items are reduced to 25%, 50%, and 75% off for varying periods of time. In addition, we have sales & special promotions to increase sales volumes. We always strive to get the best possible price for your items.

As items sell, you receive 40% of the sale price and your account balance will accrue. We do not notify you when items sell, but you can contact us at any time for your account balance.

SHOP, COLLECT, OR DONATE

Your account is credited with 40% of the sale price as items sell. You receive a 25% bonus on your available credit when used for in-store purchases.

Your balance does not expire and remains on your account until used in-store or you request a payout. To request a payout of your available balance you may either:

  • come to the store to pick it up for no charge, or
  • request a check to be mailed to you for a $1.00 fee. Request via email or phone and the check will be mailed the following business day.

At the end of your 90-day consignment period, unsold items may be claimed by appointment. You must contact us 5-7 days prior to the expiration date on your inventory list. Items not claimed by the expiration date become the sole property of Two Big Blondes. Unclaimed items are donated through Seattle Women's Assistance Fund (SWAF) to local low-income and homeless women.
