The Homeschool Book Shop - Consignment Policy
We will tell you when you bring your items in what we are able to sell. If we are not able to sell it, you will need to take it home with you. We recommend that if you are traveling from a distance, that you email a list or fax us a list of the items you would like to consign and we can tell you before you leave home which things we can use. You may also mail your items to us, but be aware that we do not reimburse for shipping and if we cannot use your items, we will not return them to you. Items left here without our permission will be considered “Abandoned.” Items that we are able to sell, we will take to our receiving room, label with your contact information and price later (usually after shop hours). Please, note, June through September, we cannot take large orders of consignment without an appointment as we won't be able to go through your items with you. Just call and we will schedule a time for you to come in!
If you would like a detailed list of the items you are consigning, you should make this list before you come. We cannot do this for you while you wait. Upon request, we can send you an email copy of our receiving vouchers after shelving your items, but the primary responsibility for this information rests with the consignee. Also, note that the receiving vouchers are primarily for the Shop use and may not have the information you wanted.
When your items sell, it will be credited to your account 7 days later (this leaves time for customers who may need to return your items to do so without leaving a negative balance on your account). The percentageyou receive is 40% of the selling price.
Our goal is to sell your materials as quickly as possible. It may take time for the special someone to come in to buy your special something, so please, be patient. We will sell it as quickly as possible. Typically, the market is cyclical. Our busiest season will be June through September, so if you consign things that don’t seem to be selling immediately, it could simply be timing. If you would like to take back your items, we should be able to print out a list of what you consigned. You need to let us check them out at the desk, so that we know you took them back as opposed to the items having been stolen or misplaced. We also need to confirm that they are your items and not someone else’s.
We will notify you by the method you select of your balance at least once a year. We would prefer to contact you more frequently, but this function is still under development. When we figure out the right system, we will let you know. You may call or email us anytime to find out what your balance is. Your balance may be picked up in person in the form of a check, which you cash at any bank; or you may use it as store credit on future purchases. We will mail checks at your request with a charge of 50¢ for the stamp and envelope.
We do all of the pricing and labeling. Our skill in doing this is a major part of the service we provide. Through various methods, we will price your items with two goals in mind. The first goal is to sell the item quickly. The second goal is to sell it inexpensively enough to be a bargain for the buyer, but high enough to make it worthwhile for you, the seller, and to keep the shop's doors open.
This service is not going to suit the desires and needs of every family. We understand this! We hope to serve our customers as servants of Christ. If at any time, you have a concern, please, prayerfully share this with us, so that we may grow in our ability to serve more effectively.
We reserve the right to change this policy at any time.
With Sincere Regards,
The Homeschool Book Shop I have read and agree to this policy.
