Helpful Consignment Check-In Clarification!

Published on November 14, 2024 0 Comments

Our consignors rule! They make awesome zines and comics, lug them over here (or send them over here), and then get excited to see their stuff on the shelves. And we’re excited to put their work in people’s paws.

When we updated our consignment policy last year we had faith that our consignors would make our work sustainable by following some changes in our consignment policy. One thing was that we only accepted consignment check-ins via email at info@quimbys.com to tell people they had to check in for restocks and payment. It was an adjustment, for sure! And we also changed our policy about how often you could check in, which was no more than 3 times a year or once every 4 months. And finally, we told consignors which titles we could restock and how many of them we would accept, instead of blindly just taking any restocks. Like any business, we found it made more sense to actually look at numbers and think about which items we could take more of. In the past, people who stopped here, say, on their way to an art opening and didn’t want to carry all their zines couldn’t just drop restocks in our laps anymore, if they were things that we couldn’t afford to take more of. (New stuff though? Hell  yeah! Any time! If we haven’t had it before, we wanna see it! A new issue of your zine, we’ll take 5!) So thanks to everybody who understood and respected why we had to do this. Here is a blog post that outlines why we had to make these changes.

We got some helpful feedback from our consignors. Longtime consignors knew they were being asked to check in every 4 months instead of any time they felt like it, and they were happy to do so. but they weren’t sure when those 4 months started. Was it 4 months from the date they were last paid? Was it 4 months from the last day they asked about their consignment? Well, here’s the answer: you can check in 4 months from the date we itemized your last payout for you. So if you emailed us on Sept 15th (OUR BIRTHDAY!) and we got back to you on say, September 25th (give us a break! We have thousands of consignors!), the next time you’d be eligible to check in would be January 25th. That’s four months from the day we emailed you back and told you what we owe you (and asked you to clarify your payment information).

Thank you so much for your continued patience as we’ve refined our consignment process to meet the unprecedented volume of consignment items we continue to receive. Please keep sending us your awesome stuff! We wanna get it up on our shelves.
