thrifto Stores FAQ's
thrifto Stores
Rent A thrifto Space is right for you if:- You have an interesting variety of items on your rail or space, we have found that rails that have an abundance of one style i.e all formal wear or all office wear etc. tend to not sell as much during the month as those rails which have a larger variety of items.- You have a items from sought after Australian or International designers or good quality & in great condition staples from "everyday" labels (for example, Country Road, Trenery, Zara etc.)- You have unique items, vintage pieces or other hard-to-find items.- Your items are current styles, look modern, stylish, and on-trend. - You have enough items to put on your rail for the season in which you have rented your space (shoppers tend to buy more of the current season's items, for example, heavy coats and woollen items sell better during winter months).- Your items are in excellent or new condition (with minimal signs of wear) and are presented in a clean, neat, and visually appealing manner.
A Rail costs $395, accessory Shelves cost $120 - $140, a Cube space costs $35, a single Hanger costs $20 and a Spot space costs $15 per item, all per calendar month. We will supply 40 clothes hangers per rail & you can replenish your Rail and Shelf as often as you like, as your items are sold, throughout the month. You can also share the rail or shelf with a friend! Cube, Hanger and Spot spaces are for one item only, as your item sells, your hire ends.
You keep 100% of your sales, there are no hidden costs - we don’t take a commission!
You simply stack your thrifto space and let us do the rest! The monthly rail rental fee of $395 equates to approximately $13 per day for your rail space in a premium retail environment which includes rent, retail staff, utilities, website, social media marketing, POS system, rails, hangers, security tags, price tags, internet, regular updates, other monthly costs, no shipping fees for your sales, no direct dealings with potential shoppers, no price negotiations & a quick monthly payout for items sold, plus heaps more!
Now for the fun part …. you start with:
· 40 clothing items (we supply the hangers)
· You can have up to 3 accessories (included in the 40 clothing items)
· Accessories include shoes, bags, belts, scarves & hats
You can re-stack, replenish and change the items on your rail as often as you like throughout the month, as long as you have a maximum of 40 items on your rail at any time.
You have unlimited profit potential - treat your rail as your own mini market and start making sales!
Almost anything! As long as it’s in a good, clean & undamaged condition. Women's, men's, kid's, fancy dress, formal wear, sports wear and even the odd wedding gown! We do not allow ultra-fast fashion brands (for example Shein and Anko) and poor quality items - as these rarely sell, and also do not align with our thrifto ethos.
We love having clothing items for all shapes and sizes in store!
You decide! We recommend that you price your items fairly & competitively to attract shoppers and ultimately maximise your sales. Remember that everyone loves a bargain, and if your items are well priced, you are likely to make more item sales and have your inventory move faster, during the rental period!
We support keeping clothing out of landfill by encouraging a culture that focuses on quality over fast fashion, with mid-range items typically priced between $10–$30, high-range items from $40–$150, and designer pieces $150+. Sellers of these items are encouraged to include authentication. Ultimately, pricing decisions remain at the seller’s discretion.
If you are still unsure, you are welcome to contact our friendly staff at hello@thrifto.au for more advice!
We supply you with 40 price tags as part of your rail rental. Be sure to securely attach your price tags to your items, stick-on labels are not recommended as these often come loose.
Price tags must include the following:
· Your Price Tag name (matching your booking form)
· Price
· Optional - size & short description of the item
Don't stress - we will send you detailed tips with your booking!
You hang/stack your items during the stack-on session, which is on the last day of the month prior to the rental period (e.g. if your rental period is for July, the stack-on session will be on the last day of June).
At the end of the month, you collect any unsold items during the stack-off session, which is on the last day of your rental period (e.g. if your rental period is for July, the stack-off session will be on the last day of July).
You will receive details about your specific stack-on and stack-off session with your booking.
Time Poor? We’ve got you! We offer a stack-on, stack-off & re-stack service with the rail or shelf bookings (3 different services).
Stack-on service - you simply drop your bagged and tagged items off with us during store hours, up to 3 days prior to your rental month. We will hang your items and arrange your space for you.
Stack-off service - we will remove and bag any unsold items at the end of your rental month for you to collect within 3 days. Any uncollected items after this time will be donated to local charities.
Re-stack service - leave an additional 40 clothing items (rail bookings) or 10 accessory items (shelf bookings) and we will re-stack your space for you as your items sell during the month.
All options are $45 per service and booked online at the same time that you book your thrifto space rental.
Start making money & feel good about it too!
Regularly restock as items sell, swap out slow moving items and promote your thrifto space by encouraging friends and family to visit the thrifto stores and spread the word through your socials. Tag us in your posts and look out for our posts on our socials featuring your items too!
We do not offer discounts as vendors determine their own item prices and we cannot change them. We do offer a Sale Weekend Event at the end of every month. You as the vendor, will select the discount % at the time of making your space rental booking. This selected discount % will then be applied to all your sales over the Sale Weekend Event.
We can't guarantee sales, but most sellers are profitable - especially if:
· You restock and replenish your empty hangers regularly as your items sell
· Consider adjusting your prices for slow moving items during the rental period
· Chat to our friendly staff in store or via email at hello@thrifto.au for feedback and suggestions to help boost your sales!
We want you to be profitable & enjoy your thrifto space!
Yes! We'll communicate with you weekly to keep you updated on your sales. We'll also keep all the price tags of your sold items and return these to you at the end of the rental month, so that you can see which items have sold. You're also welcome to visit the thrifto store during store hours to manage your space.
Whoo hoo … you will receive payment within 7 days after the end of the rental period! This amount will be the total sales for your items as recorded on our POS for the rental period - no deductions for commission or other fees! This will be paid into the bank account details that you nominated in your thrifto space booking form.
When you complete the online booking form, you will include the bank account details for yourself and your rental sharing friend. You will each tag your items separately with your individual price tag names. This allows us to record each individual's sales separately. Our POS system records and assigns the sale to the individual seller as indicated on the price tag.
We will do our best to ensure that your items are safe with us. We provide retail theft detection systems and anti-theft security tags with each space rental and encourage all sellers to attach these to their items for sale. As is common practice with consignment stores, thrifto takes no responsibility for any items damaged, lost, stolen or for fire or water damage, or other unforeseen circumstances.
