CONSIGNMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By submitting items for consignment at Shimmer Boutique, the Consignor agrees to the following Terms and Conditions. Please read this document carefully before signing. This agreement governs the relationship between Shimmer Boutique (the "Store") and the individual submitting items for sale (the "Consignor").


1. Consignment Period

The consignment period is sixty (60) days from the date items are accepted by the Store. During this period, the Store will actively offer the Consignor's items for sale. The consignment period begins on the intake date recorded on the Consignor's account.


2. Item Acceptance & Requirements

Shimmer Boutique reserves the right to accept or decline any items at its sole discretion. To be considered for consignment, all items must meet the following requirements:

  • Items must be clean, freshly laundered or dry-cleaned, and free of odors
  • Items must be in new or like-new condition with no visible stains, fading, pilling, or wear
  • Items must be free of repair marks, alterations, or visible mending
  • Items must have no broken, missing, or damaged parts, buttons, zippers, or closures
  • No more than two (2) bags of items may be submitted per appointment
  • Items deemed unacceptable will be returned to the Consignor at the time of drop-off


If any damage, staining, or condition issues are discovered after an item has been admitted for consignment, the affected item will be automatically removed from the sales floor and donated to a charitable organization without further notice to the Consignor.


3. Consignor Online Account

Upon submitting items for consignment, each Consignor is provided access to a personal online account through the Shimmer Boutique online portal. The online account allows Consignors to:

  • View the list of items accepted for consignment and monitor their current status
  • Track their available payout balance in real time
  • Connect a bank account or request a check for payout disbursement
  • Update personal and contact information
  • Review the current Consignment Terms and Conditions and receive store updates and announcements


It is the Consignor's responsibility to maintain accurate contact and payment information within their account. Shimmer Boutique is not liable for missed notifications, delayed payouts, or other issues resulting from outdated account information. Account credentials are personal and should not be shared.


4. Pricing

The Store reserves the right to set, adjust, and discount all pricing on consigned items. The Store may, at its discretion, reduce prices on items that have not sold within a reasonable period during the consignment term. The Consignor agrees to these pricing decisions without requiring additional consent.


5. Commission Structure

Upon the sale of a consigned item, the Consignor will receive a payout based on the following commission structure:

             Payout Type ~ Consignor Receives

  • In-Store Credit ~ 40% of the final sale price
  • Cash Payout ~ 35% of the final sale price

The Store retains the remaining percentage of each sale as its commission for operating costs, marketing, and services rendered.


6. Payout Methods & Fees

Consignors may choose from the following payout methods. Processing fees are deducted from the payout amount:

  • Bank Transfer (ACH): Connect your bank account through your online Consignor account. A processing fee of $2.50* will be deducted from your payout.
  • Check by Mail: Request a check by providing your mailing address. A processing fee of $1.00* will be deducted from your payout.
  • In-Store Cash: Consignors with a payout balance under $100.00 may request cash in person at the Store. Cash payouts are subject to availability and are not guaranteed.

*All applicable fees are deducted from the Consignor's payout prior to disbursement. 


There is no set payout schedule; Consignors may request their payout at any time through their preferred method.

We request to pick up your funds within one year from the drop-off date. Unclaimed payout balances that remain inactive for three (3) years from the date of last account activity will be deemed abandoned and reported and remitted to the State of California in accordance with California's Unclaimed Property Law. Prior to escheating any funds, the Store will make a reasonable attempt to notify the Consignor at their last known contact information on file.


7. Early Retrieval of Items

The Consignor may retrieve their unsold items at any time prior to the end of the 60-day consignment period. There is no early termination fee. To retrieve items early, the Consignor must contact the store by phone during business hours, Tuesday through Friday, to submit a retrieval request. Please allow a minimum of 24 hours from the time of the request before coming in for pickup.


8. Unsold Items & Pickup Policy

At the conclusion of the 60-day consignment period, the Consignor has seven (7) days to retrieve any unsold items from the Store. It is the Consignor's responsibility to track their consignment end date and arrange pickup within this window.

If unsold items are not retrieved within 7 days of the consignment period ending, the following will apply:

  • Unclaimed items will be placed on a sale rack and offered at a reduced price for an additional thirty (30) days.
  • Any items remaining after this additional 30-day sale period will become store property and / or  be donated to a charitable organization at the Store's discretion.
  • The Consignor forfeits all rights to items that have been donated and will not be entitled to any compensation.


9. Liability & Risk of Loss

Shimmer Boutique takes reasonable precautions to protect consigned items; however, the Store is not responsible for loss, theft, damage, or destruction of consigned items while in the Store's possession.

By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, the Consignor assumes all risk associated with their items and acknowledges that the Store will not provide compensation for items that are lost, stolen, damaged, or otherwise rendered unsellable due to circumstances beyond the Store's control.


10. Ownership & Title

The Consignor warrants that they are the rightful owner of all items submitted for consignment and that such items are free from any liens, claims, or encumbrances. The Consignor retains ownership of unsold items until they are either sold, donated, or discarded in accordance with these Terms. Title to sold items passes directly from the Consignor to the buyer at the point of sale.


11. Amendments

Shimmer Boutique reserves the right to update or modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Consignors will be notified of material changes. Continued use of consignment services following notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.


12. Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. Any disputes arising under this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Marin County, California.


By making a consignment appointment the Consignor acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to the Consignment Terms and Conditions set forth by Shimmer Boutique.
