Note: Comforters/Duvet/Coverlet and Blankets: Although comforters sell extremely well at The Exchange, they are also bulky, requiring a great deal of space to display. Since these items are also heavy and often difficult to transport, we ask that our consignors only bring in 1 comforter/duvet/coverlet or blanket, 2 if matching, at one time. Since we see up to 200 consignors on any consignment day, only quality linens in pristine condition will be accepted for consignments.

If an item is unacceptable for consignment, it will be noted in your account and donated to one of the local charities The Exchange has a partnership with.  No other notification will be given.
