HOW TO GET STORE CREDIT

We accept donations but also offer STORE CREDIT to purchase/trade for better quality/brands + specific inventory needs. This page explains the types of items we accept, how to prepare if selling your items + when to bring them by.

BUYING DATES/HOURS:

We are in an employee training transition so please be patient with us.

Daily 11AM-5PM excluding event + street closure days . Buying may end sooner if we reach capacity limits before 5PM. Last drop 4:45PM

On the spot or drop + go methods are explained further down the page in the What’s Next? section.

DO YOU HAVE THESE ITEMS?

WHATS NEXT?

We will look at a MAX of 60 total items (no more than 30 being clothing) per seller/per day for walk-ins who wait. Drop + dash has a limit of 30 items. In addition to the ultimate trade-in checklist above we have a pinned post on INSTA + FB listing what families are currently requesting. We typically offer 30-50% of what we expect to sell items for and most items are priced 40-70% off retail. Better quality + higher demand items will get you higher %.

1. PRESORT + CLEAN CLOTHES

   a. Collect your 30 best items according to seasons below (an outfit counts as one)

   JAN-FEB: Easter clothing

   FEB-APRIL: Spring clothing, Swimsuits

   APRIL-JULY: Summer clothing, Swimsuits

   AUG-SEPT: Fall clothing, Costumes

   OCT-NOV: Christmas clothing

   OCT-JAN: Winter clothing

   b. Check/fasten zippers, buttons, snaps. Freshly launder. Must be pet free, wrinkle free + smoke free. Don’t skip this step!

   c. Carry in a small clothing sandwich or place flat/folded apparel in a flat bottom container (no plastic grocery or trash bags!) Flat bottom paper bags + reusable totes are acceptable.

2. PRESORT + CLEAN BABY GEAR + TOYS + SHOES

   a. Check that they have all parts, working batteries (if needed) + books do not have writing in them. Price tags from other consignment stores/garage sales must be removed. Remove dirt and debris from all items (including bottom of shoes).

   c. If you would like an estimate of what we might offer for large gear prior to stopping by please message a photo and description on Facebook, Instagram or email hello@archerandjane.com

3. BRING IN YOUR ITEMS (remember no more than 60 total + check dates/times above)

4. BRING A PHOTO ID -REQUIRED- The person selling must create an account with us. They can designate the credit to go someone else if they desire but we have to record and keep on account the actual person who brought items through the door.

5. ON THE SPOT or DROP + GO You can accept or decline offer if you wait for an on the spot offer. If all presort guidelines were followed typically takes 15-25 minutes per customer. 6o item limit. No more than 30 items being clothing. You are welcome to browse the shop while we look at your items.

   DROP + GO (no large items unless pre-approved) Automatically accepts store credit we calculate for items dropped. One box or flat bottom bag with a 30 item limit for drop. Items we don’t currently need/or accept must be picked back up within 2 business days or marked as a shop donation. Anything left beyond the 2 days becomes property of the shop.

6. STORE CREDIT will be given when we finish looking through your items. You can use your store credit same day (we call this a trade) or pay you with a physical ($2 fee) or e-gift card (Free!). Gift cards have no cash value but do not expire.

WHAT CAN I BUY WITH MY STORE CREDIT?

DO YOU DO CONSIGNMENT?

You can use your store credit to purchase any of our amazing items in the store or on our website www.archerandjane.com including new, used, and handmade items. Your store credit does not expire.

WE ARE NOT A CONSIGMENT STORE BUT YES WE DO SELL GENTLY USED ITEMS. As a licensed secondhand dealer we purchase items from the public using store credit. Below are some common resale terms:

donation- when a person gifts items to the shop or charitable cause without expectation of anything in return.

seller- a person who brings items to the store to sell for cash or store credit.

buy outright- when the store gives a seller something in return for their items and takes all associated risk BEFORE items are listed for sale in the store (this is how we currently operate using store credit)

consignment- when the seller is given a credit or cash payout AFTER their items sell in the store.

presort- method of preparing items to be sold, donated, or discarded

clothing sandwich- a small stack of clean + neatly folded clothes

store credit- when a store gives a person a shop gift card or allows seller to trade items for products in the store. Has no cash value.
