FAQs
What is Consignment?
Consignment is an agreement to sell your merchandise in our store, while you still maintain ownership of them. “Consignment” simply means “we sell it on your behalf”. Our consignors receive 50% of the selling price. Decor on Douglas only accepts the best quality furniture with styles that appeal to a variety of customers.
How do I consign my items?
You may call or email to schedule an appointment with Decor on Douglas to bring your items and we accept or deny them in the store. For larger furniture pieces, we do require pictures before they can be brought to the store. To send pictures, please send to: info@decorondouglas.com
Do you provide pick-up or drop-off services?
We do not offer any kind of moving services at this time, but we do have local mover recommendations we can give you. Contact us today for more information!
What if I change my mind and want my item back before the end of my 120 day consignment period?
You may remove an item before the end of your consignment period as long as you notify an employee. You must sign a form stating you picked your item up so we can update our records.
How do I know if my item has sold?
When your consignment account is created, you will be given access to your own online account through our My Resale Web login portal. You can monitor this online account 24/7 to check your account balance and open items. Decor on Douglas will not call or email you when your items sell, but you are welcome to contact the store directly to see if your furniture has sold.

What happens if my items don’t sell?
Our primary goal is to sell your items within the 120 day consignment period. We ask that you mark your calendar with the end date of your consignment period and actively monitor your account. Due to the volume of inventory in our store, we do not contact you when your items are due to expire.
If your items are not sold at the end of 120 days and you would like to reclaim them, we ask you to call in advance to do so. If you wish to retrieve any unsold furniture, you must do so within 5 days of the expiration date of your consignment period. In the event that these items are not picked up, they will be donated to a local charity or become property of Decor on Douglas.
