March 2021 Consignment Newsletter
Dear Consignors,
The severe winter is behind, and we are welcoming the first month of spring with its warm weather, Azalea blossoms, and St. Patrick’s Day!
Thank you all again for your quality consignments and your cooperation with our rules and regulations, what allows The Guild Shop to remain open!
Regarding the COVID-19 situation, not much has changed since you last saw us! We continue to operate at 50% capacity with temperature checks at the door, hand sanitizer throughout the store, frequent cleanings, and cashless transactions only. Help us out by social distancing, whether in line to consign, shopping in close quarters or checking out at the register. Also, please wear a mask covering your nose-- bandanas and face shields without a mask underneath do not count-- and stay home if you don't feel well.
Please be aware that one of our most important rules of consignment is that the consignor must be present to drop off items or pick up a check. If you are unable and absolutely MUST authorize someone else to perform these tasks for you, please bring us a notarized letter stating so, including the full name and contact information of the person designated. We will keep this letter on file to refer to moving forward. This rule protects you from someone fraudulently using your name or taking your check without your permission.
We kindly remind you NOT to put your first and last name with the account number on your consignment items, as the process of their removal in order to protect your personal identity delays tagging your items.
Vote for The Guild Shop in Living Magazine’s "Best Of 2021" Reader’s Choice Awards! This year, we are up for "Best Consignment Store - Clothing", "Best Consignment Store - Furniture" and "Best Jewelry Store". You may vote once per category, so if you agree- vote TGS for all three! Polling opened January 1st and continues through March 15th at livingmagazine.net/bestof2021.
We thank you all again for your continued support and patronage. Here's to a happy, healthy and prosperous 2021!
