Frequently asked questions
Please see the "Brands" page for a complete list of brands we currently accept. If you have a brand that is not listed, feel free to send us an email on that particular item. We are always interested in accepting new, vintage, and unusual menswear items not listed on our "Brands" page. In addition, we also accept high-end watches, wallets, cufflinks, bags, etc
There is no limit to the number of items, but it is best to keep boxes to a maximum of 35 pounds so there are no issues in transit. When taping a box, especially over 20 pounds, "more tape is better". Make sure to use extra tape on critical areas so that the box is securely closed. We suggest using 3 pieces of tape over the center section of the box, in addition to tape on the perpendicular exposed edges.
It's as simple as 1, 2, 3. Fill out the form on the Consignment Page, print the prepaid postage label you receive via email, and ship the box. It is always a good idea to place all items inside a clean plastic/trash bag to protect them from any inclement weather en route. You can then place the bag inside your box.
The process of receiving boxes, creating an inventory of your items, steaming/ironing all items so they look great, photographing them, and listing them on eBay usually takes about two to three weeks. You'll receive a confirmation when your box arrives, as well as when all your items are live on eBay.
Unfortunately, no. We take pride in selling only high-quality items in excellent condition. Any items with holes, stains, or major wear will be returned or donated. (The cost of returning items will be deducted from the next payment.) Some of the more common issues include moth holes, general staining or spots, high shine from improper dry cleaning on suits and pants, worn sleeve elbows on jackets/shirts, worn collar points and cuff edges on shirts, worn pant cuffs from being stepped on, and staining of the pants lining. Please check your items thoroughly before sending them to us. It will save you both time and money!
Once Tailored Consignment is paid for and ships an item, we take ALL responsibility that the item is delivered. We have a strict 'no return' policy for all consignment items and unless eBay or paypal forces a return we do not accept items returned. If eBay or paypal force a return we will promptly relist the item for sale.
Tailored Consignment's commission is 30% of the gross selling price per item, excluding tax and shipping, for the first $500 and 15% for any amount over $500 per item. (As an example, if your item sells for $500, our fee is only $150. If your item sells for $1,200, our fee is only $255). What you receive is the item's net selling price plus shipping, taking into account the commission and expenses (eBay & Paypal fees, shipping costs, etc.) in the selling process.
Goodwill and Salvation Army thrift stores often sell Jos A. Bank, Brooks Brothers, and Kiton clothing for the same price. They don’t have the expertise to understand how much a buyer will pay. Tailored Consignment will maximize the amount of money your items sell for so you can actully donate MORE money.
