quiltgranny, did you get anything in writing?
I was once given a box of brand new clothing. I picked out the ones I wanted to keep, and added some of my own stuff, (which, now all of it, was mine), took it to a friends consignment shop. She had an assistant, and my friend was out on an errand.
This was my first time taking anything to a consignment shop, so, when she took my big box of stuff, and gave me a card and wrote down my name and number, I thought that was all there was to it.
I didn't hear anything for a few weeks, so I called them.
What's your receipt number?
Me: I don't have a receipt. I described what I had taken in.
Consignment store: Too bad. It's all gone, and if you don't have a receipt there is nothing we can do.:evil:
I was ripped off! Don't let this happen to you. Go there in person, and re-negotiate, or take your stuff home. I wish I had known. I've actually, never taken anything to another store, since.
I have heard the same story, from friends. Hope you have a better experience. :D
