Consignment Contract

Consignment Agreement

1. See the commission rate table for a list of current rates.

2. North Shore Exchange offers two choices when consigning items priced for resale under $100.    

A. For consignors who prefer to Consign then Donate if item/s don’t sell, we offer a higher commission rate on all of your items priced below $100(40%) because this saves significant time and resources for both the consignor and NSE.

B. For consignors who would rather retrieve item/s that do not sell, we pay a lower commission rate(30%) on all consigned items priced under $100 due to the handling costs and communication required to return these lower-priced items.

3. All merchandise is accepted for a consignment period of 60 days with a minimum of 45 days on any of the selling platforms.

4. NSE sets pricing and reserves the right to promote and offer markdowns at our discretion.
