If I could give this place negative stars I would, but even giving them 1 is being generous. Just to clarify, this review is based on my experiences as a SELLER (never bought here before). To be honest though, by looking at the merchandise that they accept, I probably wouldn't want to buy from here anyways. I've looked at some of the stuff they carry, and have seen some heavily damaged/worn items being sold for astronomical amounts (i.e. Jimmy Choo's with caked gum on the bottom of the sole). So if you're looking to sell some of your stuff here, DON'T DO IT unless you're ready to be robbed of your time and money.
I can't even begin to explain how many things are wrong with this store's system for pricing, consigning, pulling items, and giving the money back to the seller.
1. Pricing - they tell you they price items at "1/3 of retail value," but this is a load of baloney. More like they price things at 1/6 retail, and only give you (the seller) 50% of THAT price. So basically, you get close to dirt back.
2. Pulling items - I stopped in almost 2 weeks before I collected my check, and requested that any of my remaining items for sale be pulled. I decided this because I knew that I could sell my remaining items for much more online. BUT, lo and behold, when I stopped by the store almost 2 weeks later to collect my check, they had sold one of the items already, even though I had requested that it NOT BE. So, essentially I was robbed of that item, since I knew I could sell it for more elsewhere. They apologized and said it takes "up to 3 days for items to be pulled from the system." SERIOUSLY? When was this computer "system" coded??? I feel like NO inventory system should be THAT outdated that it allows for a long enough time frame for an item that was requested to be pulled is even able to be sold.
3. Giving money to the seller - Furthermore, getting your money back from this place is like pulling teeth and nails. First off, it takes them 3-5 days to generate a dang check due to their outdated "system" (yet again). Secondly, Labels REFUSES to mail it to you! So, you have to make an additional trip out to their store (located on a busy street, hard to find parking) and collect the check in person. How lazy and archaic can you be if you can't even slap a stamp on an envelope and send a check to your sellers, WHO PROVIDE YOU MERCHANDISE/BUSINESS??
In total, I have sold one handbag, 4 pairs of shoes, and two wallets here, all name brand labels. They were ALL in impeccable condition, the handbag was even BRAND NEW with tags, original dust bag and original box. I would have sold fewer items if I had known how little I'd be getting in return, not to mention the absolute HASSLE it is to deal with this store.
If you are even thinking about selling your new/used designer items here, you're better off selling on eBay, Tradesy, etc, because I can guarantee you that Labels will make you jump hurdles and hoops only to give you pennies of what you originally paid and/or what your items are worth. If you're looking to buying some discounted designer items, good luck trying to find anything modern or in-season at this museum of a store. read more
