Terms & Conditions

Consignment Term and Grace Period

Our standard consignment term is 50 days, with an additional 10-day grace period to reclaim unsold items. We understand the effort and expense involved in consigning larger items. Therefore, it may be possible to extend your contract by an additional 30 days for certain items, for a total of 90 days.

Important Notice About Expired Items

Due to the large number of consignors we serve, we will NOT contact you when your item(s) expire. It is your responsibility to track expiration dates and contact the store if you wish to retrieve unsold items.

- Extensions must be requested and approved via email.
- Extended items will be discounted further, between 25%–50% off the last ticketed price, as part of a red-tag or liquidation sale.

Tracking Expiration and Grace Dates

Expiration and grace period dates begin when your item(s) are entered into our system, which may be up to two weeks (or longer) after your delivery date.
Please monitor your online consignor portal daily for pricing, status updates, expiration dates, and grace period deadlines.

🚨 PLEASE CHECK YOUR ONLINE PORTAL REGULARLY FOR CONSIGNMENT STATUS.

Unsold Items and Surrender Policy

Unsold items awaiting pickup will remain available for sale in the showroom until removed by the consignor. We do not hold or store items awaiting pickup.
Items not picked up by the end of the grace period will be deemed SURRENDERED and automatically converted into the property of the store. These items may be sold, donated, or disposed of at our discretion, without liability.

Your Responsibility

You are responsible for tracking your consignment dates. Please call us if you have concerns about pricing, date adjustments, errors, or omissions. Once your items are priced, they are immediately available for sale in-store and online. Once sold, pricing cannot be changed.

Item Requirements

Items must be of good quality, clean, odor-free, and in excellent condition.
Even with pre-approval, items that arrive damaged, sun-faded, stained, worn, or with odors (smoke, pet, mildew, insect, etc.) may be rejected at any time. If an item requires excessive cleaning, repairs, or is missing parts or hardware, a fee may be charged if the item is accepted. If we reject a delivered item due to a condition issue, Miss Daisy’s is not responsible for delivery costs. If you do not pick up unaccepted items within 48 hours, they will be donated or disposed of at your expense.

Movers

You must contract a third-party mover or bring your items in yourself. We are not movers. Ensure your movers place items inside the store as directed by staff. Miss Daisy’s is not responsible for any damage or loss caused during pickup, delivery, or while moving items.

Assembly

Furniture arriving in parts or pieces must be reassembled by the consignor or their movers. Please ensure your movers are informed before delivery.

Commission Structure

Commissions are based on the sale price of each item:

• 40% for items sold under $500
  - 50% for items sold between $500.01–$2,500
  - 60% for items sold between $2,500.01–$5,000
  - 70% for items sold between $5,000.01–$10,000
  - 80% for items sold above $10,000
  
• For items sold online:
  - Sales through eBay, Etsy, or Chairish receive a flat 40% commission.
  - Sales through LiveAuctioneers.com follow the same tiered consignment percentages.

Appraisals

We use in-house tools and industry partnerships for formal appraisals.
If a formal appraisal is required (e.g., handmade rugs), a $25 fee (our wholesale cost) will be deducted from your account. Each item is photographed, measured, and assessed, including any known provenance. Formal appraisal responses typically take 48 hours.

Pricing Policy

We do not provide pricing estimates based on photos or before a consignment contract is in place. Proper pricing requires time, research, and an in-person evaluation of the item. We do not price on speculation, as investing time into pricing items before they are brought to us—only for a consignor to change their mind—results in wasted resources on items we cannot sell.

Auction Reserves

Low estimates and starting bids are set to encourage bidding.
If you set a minimum bid/reserve price and your item does not sell:

- You must pick up unsold items within 30 days.
- You must pay a $99 minimum production fee per item to cover research, storage, photography, descriptions, placement, and communication.
- If Miss Daisy’s sets the reserve price, no fee applies if the item does not sell.

Buyer’s Premium

A 25% buyer’s premium is included in the ticketed price.
Your commission is based on the base price (e.g., a $125 ticket price means your commission is based on $100). This 25% premium supports our full-time pricing team, research process, and store operations.

Payment Terms

We no longer issue check payments. All consignors must sign up for SimplePay via their secure consignor portal. Payments are issued upon request or within six weeks of your expiration date or sale. If you require a check, payouts will be capped at $1,500 per month until your account is fully settled.

Early Termination or Item Withdrawal

Withdrawing items before the contract ends may result in a 20% early removal fee.
Miss Daisy’s retains the exclusive right to sell accepted items for the full duration of the consignment agreement.

Damage and Loss Waiver

Miss Daisy’s is not responsible for:

- Damage or loss caused by customers, theft, staff, movers, natural disasters, or accidents.
- Earthquake damage, as we do not carry earthquake insurance.
We recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm coverage while in our custody.

Right to Cancel

Miss Daisy’s may cancel consignments and return items if they fail to meet value or salability standards.

Acknowledgment

By signing our contract, you confirm that:
1. You are the legal owner of all consigned items, free of liens.
2. You have read, understood, and agreed to all terms and conditions outlined above.
