If the selected items are not collected by the specified date then we will donate them to one of our nominated local charities.

Are my items too old?

Don’t worry about the era so much as the condition – DBB in fact loves some of the labels that have stood the test of time but are no longer designing!

Are you seasonal?

Clothing and shoes are accepted for consignment on a seasonal basis :

  • Autumn/Winter in late April
  • Spring/Summer in late August.

We do however accept ball gowns, cocktail/special event dresses, and high end designer pieces all year round.

When will I receive information on the items I just brought in?

All new consignors will receive their own online account with DBB once their items are processed so that they can track their progress 24/7.

Please allow our team approximately 5-10 business days to thoroughly inspect and process your items. We conduct research into their current value on the pre-loved designer market before pricing and notifying you via your online account with DBB.

How To Earn

What can I earn?

What you will earn depends on the saleprice of each item sold, please see below the percentage you will receive:

  • 40% - for all items under $1,000
  • 60% - for all items over $1,000
  • 70% - for all items over $3,000
  • 80% - for all items over $5,000
  • 90% - for all items over $10,000

How do I get paid?

You will receive payment into your nominated bank account on a monthly basis provided the amount due to you is over $100. If it is below $100 then you can collect cash from the store (we need 2/3 days notice please)

How do I know if my item has sold?

You are able to keep track of your items and whether or not they have sold by logging in to your account with DBB on our consignors portal here.

Due to the large volume of items we have on consignment we are unable to notify you when individual items have been sold.

What happens if my item has not sold?

If your item has not sold at the end of its 4 month consignment period then we will write to you via email and ask you to collect it from our store. Sometimes we keep items for longer than 4 months - this is at our discretion.

You can always collect your items after 4 months if you wish - just let us know in advance so that we can prepare your items for return. However please be aware that you cannot collect them earlier, the consignment period of 4 months is your contractual commitment with DBB.

When will I receive payment?

Once your item has sold the money will be paid into your nominated bank account at the end of the month following the month your item was sold (eg. proceeds for items sold in January are processed for payment at the end of February etc) provided the amount due to you is over $100. If your balance is below $100 then you can collect cash from the store or you can leave it until further sales increase it to over $100.

Prior to payment into your nominated bank account your sale proceeds sit in your DBB store account. They can be used by you in store for purchases or you can arrange to collect cash provided a period of at least 2 weeks has passed since the sale of the item and you have arranged cash collection in advance with DBB - please give us at least 2/3 days advance notice if collecting cash.

Items For Collection

When do I collect my unsold items?

You will always receive an email notification when it is time to collect your items.

Please note this is only for items selected by us for return to you and does not necessarily mean all of your items must be collected.

Can someone else collect my items for me?

Yes, you can organise someone else to collect your items on your behalf. Please email us at to admin@deeblack.com.au to confirm the name of the person collecting.

What happens if I miss the deadline for collections?

Due to the volume of items we receive, we are unable to hold items past the collection deadline nominated in our email to you.

Any items uncollected by the deadline will be donated to one of our local charities. You can read more about the charities we support here.

What if I do not want my items back?

If you do not wish to have your items returned to you at the end of the consignment period you can email us at admin@deeblack.com.au and authorise us to donate your items to one of our charities.

Authentication

Are the items authentic?

Our reputation at Dee Black Boutique as a trusted re-seller of authentic high end fashion is of primary importance to us.

We have partnered with Luxury Authentication Australia to ensure that the authenticity of items sold by us is guaranteed.

If you wish to consign your designer items with us and cannot provide original receipts of purchase, or authenticity documents, there will be a fee charged (per item) to authenticate your item. A certificate of authentication will be provided to the purchaser of the item, or to the consignor should the item not sell. Fees range from $20 -$50 depending on the level of authentication service required for your item.

What happens if I do not have proof of authenticity?

When you bring your items to us on consignment, we will advise you of the items that require authentication - usually only high end designer items, particularly bags, shoes and sunglasses, but it may also include clothing.

For items that do require authentication there will be a fee charged (per item) to authenticate your item. A certificate of authentication will be provided to the purchaser of the item, or to the consignor should the item not sell. Fees range from $20 -$50 depending on the level of authentication service required for your item and must be paid by you.

What is your authentication process?

Our team at Dee Black Boutique are highly experienced and trained to carefully examine and process each piece that comes in store.

For expert authentication we have partnered with Luxury Authentication Australia. A member of their team attends our boutique and carefully inspects the product, captures images and then provides a certificate confirming whether an item is authentic or not. If the item is authentic then it is consigned with us for sale and if it is not authentic then it is returned to you.

If you wish to consign your designer items with us, and cannot provide original receipts of purchase, or authenticity documents, there will be a charge (per item) to authenticate your item, payable by you. A certificate of authentication will be provided to the purchaser of the item, or to you as the consignor should the item not sell.

What happens if an item cannot be authenticated?

If an item is not authentic then we will contact the consignor to collect their item from our store, along with the certificate.
The authentication fee is payable by the consignor and is non-refundable.
