What is a consignment store?

Which brands are accepted at Calli Preloved?
We currently accept all clothing brands except Shein.
All items must be gently worn, freshly laundered, and not require any repairs (check buttons, seams and zips).
-
How long are items on the racks for?
Items have a three month rotation which begins when they enter the store floor. After three months, items are reduced by 30% or returned to the seller.
-
What is the store returns policy?
Our return policy states that items can be returned up to seven days after purchase, and store credit is given to the customer. This is because it is hard to ensure preloved items are returned in the same condition they are sold in, and because the seller has already received their payout for the sale.
