Consignment is Pure Theft!
I was pretty darn excited for the consignment offering. It was an opportunity to work with an ambassador, hopefully learn how to improve my part-time shop, and send over my NWT and NWOT items that have been sitting in my shop for a while, plus some other Anthro pieces my girl friends gave me for variety of sizes.
I even went above and beyond to steam and prep each item, made an inventory list and found all the right stock images for the consigner to easily pull from my “not for sale” listings.
You get a consignment bag delivered and then Uber picks it up and delivers it. The ambassador consigner I got lived in a really rough part of the Bay, no judgement, just it is a place frequently called out on the news for crime. You know this because you track your Uber delivery.
She only decided to list about 30% of what I sent her, she listed photos saying there was “damage” but her photos didn’t prove any damage. Including not listing a $500 NWT Kate Spade Dress and a cashmere cardigan, because the cardigan had a random loose thread that floated to it, see photos.
The deal is, consignment sales is split 50/50. And after 12 months unsold items are “donated”. Well if you don’t list a $500 Kate Spade dress and hang on to it for a year, at the end of 12 months, the consigner can list it and make a $500-$400 profit. And someone who is an Ambassador with 88k followers, yeah- you can sell it for that.
I had to push back hard on support to get my items back, and my consigner wasn’t doing anything to help sell them. She didn’t use any of the stock photos, and instead just grouped them by size in a pile and posted one photo for a super cheap price. It was pretty insulting to be honest, and also makes me wonder how did she become an ambassador? Or get chosen to be a consigner?
Finally support said all my items, for sale and not would be sent back to me! TG! And 20 minutes before the Uber deliver is to arrive, when 48 hours prior she was suppose to take down my listings, she runs flash sale after flash on my stuff and honestly I think she sold a group of 10 of my NWT Urban Outfitter and Anthro items to a shell fake account that is really hers, right before she has to turn over my bag of clothes. Pure theft! Absolute pure shady-A thieving going on!
I would not recommend this at all! If I was consigner I would be in constant communication and collaboration with my person and customize special packaging on behalf of both of us to advertise the consignment program. I am so disappointed because I was really excited for this, especially to work with another Posher and learn about what they might do different, but this girl just had cheap stuff in her shop, one photos with low lighting and all of her reviews were only about how cheap her price was.
When my bag arrived, I had items missing and everything smelt like cigarettes. So much so, now my room has a weird sticking smell. Everything has to go to dry cleaners which is a huge extra expense to get rid of the cigarette smell.
