1.                Consignment - Customer authorizes Twice Around the Square to sell all or any portion of the goods consigned for the best price they may get.   This does not make a promise or guarantee we can or will put out for sale any or all items you may bring in. 

2.                Condition – All Adult clothing should be fashions from the previous three years.  Gently Used Children and Youth garments may be older but must be in excellent condition if more than two years old.  All garments must be in good to excellent condition and must be cleaned, free of stains, need no repair work and have no previous repair work done to clothes.  All garments must have size label with size legible and washing instructions must be intact.  Any clothing identified as having lead in their painted buttons or embellishments will be discarded.  Any items found not cleaned or in need of repairs of any kind will be removed from the sales floor.  If the product smells from pets, smoke, mildew or other odors will not be accepted.  All unacceptable merchandise shall be passed on to other programs or destroyed if necessary.

*** We will make every effort to but the newest, cleanest, best condition apparel on our racks.  It is a judgment call in some cases and we will try to make the best decisions we can with your clothing.  We know you may not always agree but understand we are trying to be fair to not only you as the seller but to the end buyer as well.  Our position is simple – the best and freshest on the sales floor and keep the selection balanced.  We cannot have 200 t-shirts and 10 dress shirts, we will set an area for a size or style and when that is full win order for us to put another piece out one must be removed.  Staff is instructed to look at our selection and remove the least likely to sell.  That may mean we put a top out on Monday and remove it on Tuesday if it is deemed the least sellable in that category.  This also means, as a  n example, if you bring in a white top in a medium and we already have 4 out that yours may be passed on.  Unfortunately our walls do not expand and we Can put every piece of clothing that comes in out on the sales floor.  This also means that if the customer shopping likes a piece they had better get it when they see it because it may not be there when they return to shop again.

8.                Government Recalls - Consignors are responsible to ensure that all items brought in have not been recalled by the Federal Government.
