How to Get Started
Choose the option that works best for you.
Book a Consignment Appointment
Bring a curated selection of items and we’ll review them in store at the time of your appointment.
Book an appointment online. Each appointment is limited to one medium bag or bin, with a maximum of 30 items.
You can book an appointment here.
Instagram Consign Callouts
We occasionally post specific consignment requests through our Instagram channel @young_n_thrifty under “Consign With Us.”
These callouts may include specific sizes, seasons, or categories and are available for a limited time. Once capacity is reached, the callout will close.
Following the channel is optional, but it’s a good way to stay informed about what we’re currently accepting.
What to Expect
During Your Appointment
Appointments are approximately 20 minutes. Items are reviewed during your visit and any items not selected are returned to you at the end of the appointment. Pricing is determined by Young’n Thrifty based on condition, season, and demand.
When Items Go on the Floor
Accepted items typically reach the sales floor within 1 to 3 weeks. Items remain active for sale for up to 80 days. Once accepted, items cannot be returned for at least 30 days.
In some cases, expired items may still sell prior to removal. If sold, consignors will receive their share in accordance with the Consignor Agreement.
Pricing and Discounting
To help items sell within their consignment period, Young’n Thrifty uses a time-based discount system as part of regular inventory management. As items age, they may be discounted in store or online.
Items remain eligible for consignor earnings while active, even if discounted. Pricing and discounting are applied at Young’n Thrifty’s discretion.
Items designated for donation, as well as items with a resale value under $15, may continue to be offered for sale after the consignment period. Proceeds from these sales support store operations.
Earnings and Payouts
Consignors earn 40% of the selling price.
You may choose to receive your earnings as a cheque or as store credit with an additional 15% bonus.
Payout details:
- Minimum balance of $15
- Payouts are processed monthly
- Requests must be emailed at least 10 days prior to the payout date
- Cheques only
- $1.50 processing fee per payout
- Cheques must be collected within 365 days
Unsold Items
When signing the Consignor Agreement, consignors choose whether unsold items are returned or donated.
Items with a resale value under $15 are donated. Items valued at $15 or more may be returned upon request and must be picked up within seven days of notification. Items not collected within this timeframe may be donated or cleared.
Important Information
All items must be clean, safe, complete, and in excellent condition. We do not repair items or assess safety. Young’n Thrifty is not responsible for items lost, stolen, or damaged while on the sales floor. All communication regarding consignor accounts is sent via email.
All consignment is subject to the terms outlined in the Consignor Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy, the Consignor Agreement will prevail.
