Willing Hearts Consignment Shop Willing Hearts is a consignment shop managed and fully staffed by volunteers for the benefit of the Rotary Club of the Caldwells and its various projects and charities. We accept donations and consignment. While we are happy to welcome you as a consigner, because of the size of our business, we must insist on adherence to our rules. We have tax letters available for any donations. The burden of responsibility for the monetary amount of your donations rests with you. What is a Consignor?Basically a consignor is a recycler. You may wish to consign clothing, jewelry, household items, small furniture, collectibles, etc. Furniture and large paintings are accepted by reservation only. Items we do not take are listed on our Refusal List. About duesA one-time enrollment fee of $10.00 allows a consignor to bring in seasonal and saleable. Ten (10) items are accepted at a time - at each session, not to exceed 20 items a month, during specific consignment hours: Tuesday and Saturday 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM and Thursday evening from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. New consignor enrollments are accepted during consinment hours in the shop office (left rear of the store). About condition of consigned itemsThe items must be clean, clothing pressed and seasonal. Any item which needs polishing or repair may be taken, but will be considered a donation and the money will be given directly to Rotary. Please refer to the list of items we cannot accept. About payment for sold itemsConsignors' checks are ready on the 10th of every month for items sold the previous month. Consignors receive 60% of the sale price. A printout of your sold items is attached to your check. Checks will be held up to four (4) months, afterwhich the funds revert to Rotary. We prefer that you pick up your check personally. About furnitureConsigning furniture requires a phone call to reserve space. Please ask for Pat Kiernan, Sondra Loeb, or Barbara Morgan. What is our goal?Our goal is to SELL; that is how we make money for charities. To accomplish a goal, there must be cooperation from staff and customers. A beautiful shop which welcomes buyers involves cooperation among consigners, customers and staff. An item well displayed is half sold. Please help us to achieve our goal by cooperating with our staff. About time restraints and termsOur week begins on Tuesday, since we are closed on Mondays. The week you consign your item is considered week one of your selling term. The item remains on the selling floor for four (4) weeks at full price. At the beginning of the fifth week, the item is reduced by 50%, at which point the sale price becomes a donation to Rotary - please ask for a tax letter. On Saturday of the fifth (5) week any remaining inventory is given to one of four shelters who pick up each week. You may reclaim your items at any time, but you must search by yourself. Please follow the procedure explained to you at the time of enrollment. Please be considerate and look for your items yourself. Thank you. Please respect our request. About the Willing Hearts computerThe month begins on the first Tuesday of the month according to the computer. For instance, if the first day of any month is on a Thursday, you may consider it a part of the past month until the following Tuesday. If you have satisfied your 20 item limit, you may not begin to consign your next items until the first Tuesday of the next month. Please note this on your calendar. Interested in becoming a volunteer?Contact Pat Kiernan at (973) 226-7488. Thank you.
