Consign
How to Consign
- Emma & Co. takes consignments 10am-3pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Emma & Co. does not accept drop-offs on Wednesday or Saturday without prior special arrangements. *For special arrangements please call the store ahead at (603)444-0304 we are glad to work around your schedule when we can.
- Maximum of 30 pieces of clothing or pairs of shoes per drop-off.
- We reserve the right to stop accepting items throughout the day when we have hit our maximum drop-off amount
- No Saturday consignment drop-offs without special arrangement
•All clothing must be freshly laundered, buttoned, zipped, and laid as flat as possible in a hard container, reusable box or bag. We no longer accept items in plastic bags. Emma & Co. reserves the right not to accept items that have not been properly prepared. Pro-tip! To help us manage wrinkling, we recommend folding items only in half when possible. This really does work to reduce wrinkles!
• During a drop-off, all items are evaluated by our staff for signs of wear and quality. Items found to be in less-than-perfect shape (too worn, damaged, or outdated), out-of-season, and categories of items we do not carry will be immediately returned.
Please be sure your items are in excellent, like-new condition. We are very selective during our intake process, but that is why our customers love to shop at our store and trust us to carry “the good stuff.”
