The Homeschool Book Shop - Consignment Policy

We will tell you when you bring your items in what we believe 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 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 inventory, label with your contact information and price later (usually after shop hours).

If you would like a detailed list of the items you are consigning, you should make this list before you come. We will not do this for you. Upon request, we can send you an email copy of our receiving vouchers after shelving your items, but the responsibility for this information rests with the consignor. Also, note that the receiving vouchers are primarily for the Shop use and may not have the information you prefer.

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 percentage you receive is 40% of the selling price when you use it as store credit and 25% when taken as a check. Effective for all new consigners as of August 15, 2011.

Our goal is to sell your materials as quickly as possible at the best price. 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 for any reason, we will print out a list of what is still in the Shop, but you will need to find the items on the shelf. You need to let us check them out at the counter, so that our inventory reflects quantities accurately. We also need to confirm that they are your items and not someone else’s. If you would prefer to have us locate your items we will charge you 75¢  per item.

It is not possible for us to notify you of your account balance due to having 100's of consignors. You may email or call us anytime for your account balance. Your balance may be picked up in person in the form of a check (at 25%); or you may use it as store credit on purchases (at 40%). We will mail checks at your request with a charge of 50¢. We do not write checks in December.

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 items in a timely fashion. The second goal is to price it so that both you the consignor and the purchaser will benefit & still keep our 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,
