A MESSAGE TO OUR CONSIGNORS
UPDATED MARCH 4, 2024
Our consignment program has been busier than ever! To support the volume of clients we have continued to expand our online resources and implemented an automatic response in our consignment inbox to make sure the answers to the most frequently asked questions are accessible to you instantly.
Please use the consignment inbox as a communication tool in order to ensure all of your inquiries and needs are met in a timely fashion. Our consignment team is not always present/available in the shoppe and consultants who specialize in shopping will not be able to assist you as a walk in or over the phone. Email is the best way to follow up on your contract dates, drop offs, payment eligibility, contract questions and expiry.
Keep in mind the entire process- from online inquiries to requests, intakes and post-intake care come with substantial support through automated resources, emails and your physical paperwork. Use these resources so that the in-store staff can focus on selling for you!
When your account is expiring simply email consignment@pearlandbirch.com and request a pick up or renewal. Once you have contacted us we will provide the next steps for a smooth offboarding process or an easy extension of your items.
As always, expiry dates are the responsibility of the seller and require direct contact on or before the last day of the grace period. Storage fees & donation policies are detailed in your paperwork.
UPDATED MAY 25, 2023
Pearl & Birch is opening a new location at 1857 Portage Avenue in June 2023. While we will be operating both stores until April 2024 our primary location will be in our new space. Please allow us some time to update our booking system, automated emails and reminders to reflect these changes. During the transition we will actively contact booked appointments to confirm what location their specific service is being offered if it is not made clear in your booking process.
All consignment intakes will continue at 539 St. Mary's Road unless you are informed otherwise.
Payouts for the month of May have been extended to accommodate the moving process. We will continue to work our way through our list and you can reach out to our team if you experience delays past May 31, 2023.
Our email response times will be 5-10 business days until June 12, 2023 as we anticipate an adjustment period in business volume and staffing.
April 17, 2023
Our new consignment submission system has been in place since January. If you wish to sell with us please use this link to request your intake.
Our current payout cycle has been updated to reflect the high volume of sales. The payout cycle now runs for 7-10 business days and may exceed that if payout volumes continue to climb. Due to the number of e-transfer payouts being declined by consignors please note that a review of the transfer and subsequent repayment of the transfer will result in the repayment being added to the next pay cycle the following month to avoid administrative errors.
Any unclaimed cash payouts will be converted to store credit 1 year after the expiration of your 1 year contract or 2 years from your original consignment date.
Our contract was updated as of April 17, 2023 to reflect a new policy for early removal fees. We work very hard to connect items and to support those efforts we are must include a fee structure that compensates the business for marketing and consulting on items.
A note about selling your items on the buy and sell while on contract at Pearl & Birch:
Please read the updated withdrawal fee on your contract/in your consigor access account for info about removing your item from the shoppe early. If your item is cross-posted for private sale and we are made aware of a difference in list price Pearl & Birch will honour the public list price made by the seller on any resale platform. In order to maintain transparency and integrity with our shoppers we must cannot sell the item for higher than what it is advertised for elsewhere.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY
- We reopened as of May 5, 2020. Communication with any consignor who emailed us during the closure was completed the week of May 19-23, 2020. If you emailed us during the closure and were not contacted by a team member please contact us immediately.
- Pearl and Birch has been reopened for 5 months with regular business hours, an active voicemail, daily monitoring of our inbox and frequent updates on all of our platforms. As a small business we have done our absolute best to be available, responsive and informative.
- All accounts that expired between March 18 and May 23, 2020 had their grace period extended to match the number of days were closed. This means that all accounts that expired during the closure were extended by 77 days. The final date for pick up on contracts that expired during the closure and were provided the 77 day extension was August 8, 2020.
- All contracts that DID NOT expire during the closure will maintain their terms and conditions as agreed upon during the original signing. That includes grace periods and expiry dates as well as client communication regarding pick ups and renewals. We are happy to discuss every contract will each individual and will evaluate requests on a case to case basis.
- We understand that clients may want to recoup the time lost on their one year term. Automatically extending all contracts would require a complete update of our entire consignor database and would alter the contracted agreement for every client, disrupting our very detailed record keeping. If your item(s) did not sell and you wish to re-consign because of the
7 week closure we are happy to waive any fees associated with a new contract and provide you another term in the store free of charge.
