Consignment Commission

Furnishings by Debi operates on a 50/50 consignment split.

The Consignor receives 50% of the final merchandise selling price, and Furnishings by Debi receives 50% of the final merchandise selling price.

The Consignor’s proceeds are calculated from the actual selling price after any authorized discounts, markdowns, refunds, credits, or adjustments.

Sales tax, delivery charges, moving charges, installation charges, shipping charges, and separately stated services are not included in the sale price used to calculate the 50/50 split.

Processing & Payment Fees

• Credit-card sales: A processing fee equal to 3.3% of the total merchandise selling price is deducted from the Consignor’s proceeds.
• Cash or check sales: No 3.3% card-processing deduction applies.
• Printed checks: A $1.75 check-print fee applies to each printed Consignor check.
• Replacement checks: Lost, stolen, or damaged checks may be reissued for a $30 fee.
• Checks dated more than one year earlier will not be reissued.

Transportation, pickup, delivery, loading, unloading, installation, cleaning, repair, storage, disposal, and similar services are not included in the consignment commission and may be charged separately when applicable.

120-Day Consignment Term

The standard consignment period is 120 days per item, beginning on the date the merchandise is received and entered into Furnishings by Debi inventory.

During the consignment term, Furnishings by Debi has the exclusive right to display, advertise, market, negotiate, and sell the merchandise.

Furnishings by Debi may choose to extend the consignment period for merchandise we believe should remain available for sale. Extensions are made at our discretion and do not guarantee continued showroom placement or pricing.

Pricing

Furnishings by Debi establishes the initial listing price based on factors including:

• Brand or maker
• Condition
• Age
• Current resale value
• Comparable sales
• Original retail value when relevant
• Local demand
• Style and desirability
• Expected selling timeframe

Listing prices are resale estimates and are not appraisals or guarantees of the amount an item will ultimately sell for.

Furnishings by Debi retains control over showroom placement, merchandising, photography, descriptions, advertising, online listings, and overall sales strategy.

Offers & Markdown Schedule

To help merchandise sell within a reasonable timeframe, the Consignor authorizes Furnishings by Debi to negotiate and adjust pricing without additional approval within the following limits:

These percentages represent the maximum authorized reduction from the item's original listing price.

Furnishings by Debi is not required to automatically markdown an item simply because it reaches a particular date. If an item is receiving strong interest, we may maintain the current price.

We may accept any reasonable offer within the authorized discount range without contacting the Consignor.

Offers requiring a discount greater than the authorized amount may be presented to the Consignor for approval.

Consignor Payouts

Consignor proceeds are paid on Furnishings by Debi’s monthly payout cycle.

Sales completed during a calendar month will generally be paid between the 15th and 25th of the following month, provided:

• The buyer’s payment has cleared;
• The transaction is considered final;
• There is no pending return, chargeback, dispute, refund, or payment issue.

Example: Merchandise sold during August will generally be paid between September 15 and September 25.

Furnishings by Debi may temporarily withhold proceeds associated with unresolved returns, disputes, chargebacks, refunds, or other transaction adjustments.

No Consignor proceeds are earned on a transaction that is canceled, fully refunded, charged back, fraudulent, or otherwise not collected.

Early Removal

Consigned merchandise is committed to Furnishings by Debi for the full 120-day consignment term.

The early-removal fee must be paid before the merchandise is released.

Removal must be scheduled in advance and cannot interfere with an existing customer hold, deposit, pending sale, completed sale, or delivery arrangement.

No Guarantee of Sale

Our goal is to achieve the best reasonable resale value while maintaining healthy inventory turnover.

Consignment does not guarantee that an item will sell, the timeframe in which it will sell, or the amount for which it will ultimately sell.

Market conditions, condition, style, size, brand, demand, and customer interest all affect resale value.
