If you are an established consignor, you may drop and  go ; however, we will donate any items we are unable to sell and you must follow the same guidelines as the wait in store clients as far as prepping your items at home and sticking to the item limits. Our aim is efficiency and we may better serve our consignors and our customers with clearly defined limits and expectations.  This also helps keep our inventory top notch!

First thing to remember- 30 item limit per appointment all combined whether it is clothing, accessories, or home decor.

We can serve you and our customers best when we have a manageable
amount to deal with and this gives others the chance to bring things in
to sell as well.


Clothing- freshly laundered,
smelling good, wrinkle and pet hair and smoke free. Hanging or folded 1
time and stacked in a laundry basket the day before your appointment.
(we will not accept items in a garbage bag.)

Home décor- in style, clean and ready to sell.

Furniture - we must see pictures of any furniture you are wanting to sell prior to consignment. You may email photos to smithandcoconsignment@gmail.com or text us at 336 650 6356.

We will get back to you as soon as possible. If you can answer the
following questions when you contact us, the process can go much faster.

2. If upholstered, pet free?
3. Any damage of any kind not seen in photos?
4. How fast do you need these items removed from your space?

(all items placed on consignment will not be released prior to the
60-120 day consignment period without a 20% fee of the original listing price paid. We cannot be used as a storage facility until a better offer comes along to you direct. We certainly hope you understand.

The following are the percentages you will receive for your items on consignment: (after any item fees when applicable)
40% on clothing, accessories, and home décor 40% on furniture we pick up from you. (That furniture must be worth our trip.)
60% on furniture you deliver to us or you pay to have delivered to us

Consignment period is up to 90 days, ( furniture upon approval can stay up to 120 days.) You must decide if you want to pick up your items or have them donated.
If you choose pick up, we will pull any items left at the end of season clearance and contact you to pick up within a strict 72 hour time frame.  If you miss your pick up, we automatically donate them and change your account to a donate for all future consigning as it is too much work for us to pull, call, and hold for these items to not be picked up.  We donate to The Shalom Project for clothing, accessories and household items.  We donate to Habitat for Humanity for furniture, but not without contacting you first on the furniture. 
Furniture usually gets reduced significantly after the 120 day period is up in order to get it sold and make room for new inventory.  We will contact you and give you a 2 week time frame to come get the item or we can deliver the item to you for a fee depending on where the item will go and if there are any staircases involved.  Effective in 2024, furniture is considered expired after day 134.
