WHY WEARHOUSE CONSIGNMENT?   

     Better Brands  Our experience has proven that better brands sell best at our store. Contemporary brands such as Anthropologie, JCrew, Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor, Loft, Zara, Eileen Fisher, Talbots, JJill and Lands End to name just a few!   See Accepted Brands for more detail.  

     Current Styles  Our customers appreciate seeing styles recently in stores. We do our best to carry styles that are current and desirable and it applies to everything we review...clothing, shoes, and handbags. We look for better quality brands and we stay current within the 1-3 seasons.

     Casual & Athleisure Wear   Let's face it, the 2020s have changed the way we dress!  With many of us working from home, or just dressing more comfortable for the day, we are selling more casual wear, athletic, and in general... more comfortable styles.   

    No Appointment Necessary  We take drop-offs Monday - Saturday 10am - 3pm.  Allow 15 minutes for us to review your items.  We will return to you items we cannot accept.  Items must be picked up same day or may be donated.

Please read!  There are many factors when choosing items to sell at our shop.  Style, condition, brand .. and whether we may be filling up on certain sizes or styles. We never want to offend our customers whose items we cannot accept.     It literally is the worst part of our job!  Thank you for understanding.

HOW LONG IS THE CONSIGNMENT PERIOD? 
  • The consignment period is 60 days for in-store items, 90 days for online items. You will receive a consignment receipt when you drop off, and an end date will be stated at the bottom. Consignors have two options once the consignment period is over.  Upon request, and with a few days notice, we can pull unsold items and hold them for 14 days for pickup. Otherwise, any remaining items will be left on clearance or pulled and donated to the clothing bank associated with Lancaster Food Hub in Lancaster City. Any items not picked up after 14 days will be donated.
