Enhancing Your Consignment Experience: Upcoming Changes at Stuff Etc

By Jody / September 25, 2023

We want to begin this heartfelt message by extending our sincerest apologies for the lengthy lines and wait times you’ve endured at our receiving counters. We truly understand the frustration and inconvenience this has caused you, and for that, we are deeply sorry. Your trust in us means the world, and we acknowledge that we have not been living up to your expectations recently.

In response to this, we are committed to immediate changes in our consignment policies, driven by our unwavering dedication to serving you better. We find ourselves unable to handle the daily influx of black bag consignment drop-offs efficiently at our locations, and this has resulted in an inadequate service to you, our valued consignors.

October 1st to October 16th

We will temporarily suspend the acceptance of black bag drop-offs, as this area has posed safety concerns for our employees and delays in processing your items.

October 1st

We are making yet another important change to our consignment drop offs. From Tuesday through Saturday, all Stuff Etc locations will cease accepting consignment drop-offs one hour before closing time.

Iowa City will accept consignment drop offs Tuesday through Friday until 6 pm, Saturday until 4 pm
Coralville, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Ankeny, Clive, and Dubuque will accept consignment drop offs Tuesday through Saturday until 6 pm
Davenport will accept consignment drop offs Tuesday through Saturday until 5 pm.

This adjustment will ensure that we can provide you with the level of customer service you deserve during our operational hours.

Pre-sorters will be introduced

While our pre-sorters are dedicated to providing the best service possible, it’s essential to note that they may occasionally miss something on your items. Our pricers will have the final say in accepting items for the sales floor, ensuring that your consigned items meet our standards. This streamlined approach will enable quicker processing of totes and allow us to accommodate more consignors during our drop-off hours. It will also give you the flexibility to decide how you’d like to handle unsellable items, whether it’s taking them back with you or choosing an alternative option.

No consignment drop-off dates

Lastly, we will be adding some “no consignment drop-off” dates to our calendar. This step is essential to ensure that we can process your items and get them to our sales floors in a more timely manner, ultimately resulting in quicker sales for your consigned items.

Stuff Etc will not be accepting consignment drop offs on these dates:

November 11, 2023
November 21 & 22, 2023
January 1- 15 (change of seasons)
- January 16 we will begin accepting spring items
July 1 – 15 (change of seasons)
- July 16 we will begin accepting fall items

Furniture will still be accepted on these no-consignment drop off dates.

We want to express our profound gratitude for your continued trust and support. These changes are driven by our commitment to improving your consignment experience with us. We understand that change can be challenging, but we firmly believe that these adjustments will lead to a more efficient, convenient, and rewarding consignment process for all. Your satisfaction is our utmost priority, and we are dedicated to living up to your expectations.

Thank you for being a part of the Stuff Etc community. We look forward to continuing this journey with you as we strive to provide you with the outstanding service you deserve.

Embracing Secondhand September: A Journey Towards Sustainable Living

By Jody / September 1, 2023

In a world where consumption seems to know no bounds, Secondhand September offers a refreshing opportunity to break free from the cycle of fast fashion and relentless consumerism. This global movement challenges us to explore the beauty and benefits of secondhand shopping, fostering a sense of responsibility for our planet and a newfound appreciation for pre-loved treasures.

Why Secondhand September Matters:

Environmental Impact: The fashion industry is known for its heavy carbon footprint. By opting for secondhand clothing, we reduce the demand for new production, conserving valuable resources and minimizing pollution.
Unique Style Expression: Secondhand pieces often carry a sense of individuality and history, allowing us to curate a wardrobe that truly reflects our personal style and story.
Budget-Friendly: Secondhand shopping is not only eco-friendly but also wallet-friendly. It allows us to snag high-quality items at a fraction of their original cost.

Exploring the Thrill of Thrifting:

Treasure Hunt: Thrifting is like a treasure hunt; you never know what gem you might stumble upon. The anticipation and excitement of finding that perfect piece are unparalleled.
Fashion Evolution: Secondhand shopping encourages us to experiment with styles we might not have considered before, fostering a sense of creativity and self-discovery.
Redefining Trends: Embrace the power to redefine trends. Vintage pieces can be given a modern twist, showcasing your ability to stand out in a sea of mass-produced fashion.

Tips for Successful Secondhand Shopping:

Set Intentions: Have a clear idea of what you’re looking for, whether it’s a statement jacket or a vintage accessory.
Quality Check: Inspect items for wear and tear, ensuring that they’re in good condition before making a purchase.
Explore Variety: Secondhand stores offer an array of options beyond clothing, from furniture and decor to books and electronics.

Sharing Your Secondhand September Journey:

Capture the Moment: Document your secondhand finds and share them on social media with the hashtag #SecondhandSeptember to inspire others.
Host a Swap: Organize a clothing swap with friends or in your community, promoting sustainable fashion choices while fostering a sense of camaraderie.

Secondhand September isn’t just a challenge; it’s a movement that encourages us to step off the beaten path of consumerism and into a world where sustainability and style coexist harmoniously. By embracing pre-loved treasures, we’re not just changing our shopping habits; we’re contributing to a brighter, more responsible future—one thrifty find at a time.

So, this September, let’s open our minds, explore thrift stores, and embark on a journey towards a more sustainable and stylish way of living.
