Q: Why do you hold luxury products I bring in?
A: This is to determine product authentication and market value research. We want to ensure all of our products are authentic and at a reasonable price not only for you but our customers as well.
Q: How does trading my clothes work?
A: Trading only works at our Main Street and Commercial Drive locations. This method is not a direct trade (as in garment for garment), but rather through store credit. When you bring in your items, you can trade them for store credit that you can use to buy new items.

A: Yes you can. However, please note that unprocessed transactions will be terminated and donated if not processed or collected after 2 days.
Q: Do I need to dry clean my items before bringing them in?
A: Nope! Dry cleaning isn't necessary. Although, garments should be clean and in good saleable condition when brought in.
Q: Do my items need to be on hangers when I bring them in?
A: We love it when you don't bring hangers :D
Q: How fast do I get my payout?
A: At Rewind Resale Vancouver locations, payout is immediate in cash or store credit.
At Rewind Resale Surrey, payout is in terms of consignment, in which cash or store credit is available as soon as your items sell.
Q: Can you donate clothes that you don't accept from me?
A: We can! If you wish to offload all of your unwanted clothing, you’re welcome to leave your donations with us.
Q: How do you decide what to take and what to price things at?
A: With years of hands on experience and knowledge of market trends have taught what will and won’t sell. We make sure to curate styles and set prices that will satisfy both our sellers and customers. Items are priced based on condition, season, label, desirability, resale value, and current inventory. It is important to note that Rewind Resale operates on a “buy low to sell low” philosophy. We believe in making our store fun yet affordable by creating accessible price points for everyone.
Q: Why didn’t you take my stuff??
A: Please don’t be sad! We do our best to take as much as we can. We curate styles that fit the Rewind brand, hold value, and will sell at Rewind retail rate. We buy according to season and inventory, so we may decline items based on season or a surplus of inventory. We also decline product if we believe there is better value for you elsewhere. That being said, if we find that your items hold better value elsewhere, we'll often recommend other thrift and consignment stores to check out before going through with us. We strive to make our store accessible for anyone who wants fun clothing at reasonable prices. We understand that certain stores have different price points/styles, so we want to make sure that you get the best payout for your items, even if it’s not with Rewind.
