Twice Blessed Consignment

I love this shop! We’ve been coming here for years, and my daughter loves sauntering through the aisles and looking for her next ‘new’ dress.

The original owner was a delight to work with and ran the business extremely well, however since changing hands 9/​2015, this is no longer true. Steep prices (for used items) as well as the refusal to pay (or work with in a professional manner) those who consign here has me looking for a new place to both shop and consign.

Under the previous owner, the deals were GREAT! She was always honest about our items and always helpful and honest. The new owner, Julie Lemery is a known convicted criminal (see other reviews) and has jacked up prices that are near the cost of new things. NEWS FLASH: Consignment means inexpensive and consignors hope to make some money too! I will no longer be shopping or consigning here and others BEWARE! DO NOT BRING STUFF HERE OR SHOP! NO LONGER A A PLACE FOR EVEN GOOD DEALS. NO DEALS HERE!!! She is also shorting many consignors of money or credit owed from sales under previous owner, which per the contract she is legally obligated to owe. There is ALOT of legal issues going on with her and the community is striking back against her. AVOID THIS SHOP and spread the word to others!

Do not take your clothes to consign here and do not shop here. The new owner (August 2015) is not paying consignors (many of whom are kids trying to earn money) what they are due even though she is legally required to. Its only a matter of time before this store’s reputation catches up with its practices.

Unfortunately, this is no longer the same business it was since it changed ownership. It is now owned by Julie Lemery who was fired from Farmers Insurance for embezzling funds while employed as an agent for the company (you can research this online). Sometime later she falsified documents to the OIC in order to obtain an insurance license again and started selling insurance once more under a company name for whom she had no affiliation. The OIC brought charges and her license was once again revoked. Not surprisingly, the contract she signed with the previous owner of this business making her liable for monies owed to customers for items brought in and sold are not being honored. Caveat Emptor!

There was a change in ownership several months ago. The original owner was a gem and we were frequent consigners. I am waiting to see if things turn around with the current management but so far I have had a lot of trouble with communication– there was a call put out for items and I brought mine in, and she wouldn’t go trough the box in front of me. I called several times to follow up and see if I needed to pick up any rejects items and she was not able to tell me whether she had sorted through my things or not. I went in after another couple of weeks and somehow only had $ 3 in merchandise credit, which is perplexing if all of my items had really been out on the sales floor. I was told items would be on the floor for 4 – 6 weeks. I have never been called or emailed to pick up items that didn’t sell so I’m not sure if the items sold and I wasn’t credited, or if they were donated without my knowledge/​consent, or the turnover is much slower than that. I plan to check back soon and will update my review if my experience improves. Update: the owner is now claiming she needs Social Security Number and W-​9 form from all consigners. After speaking to a tax advisor and several other consignment stores I have learned this is unprecedented and unnecessary. Considering the poor business practices up to this point I will not be giving my ssn or consigning here in the future.

Since the store was bought out by J.L. my wife and I will no longer go here. It is sad because the store used to be great. Now I am looking forward to what business will take its location after it goes under.

This is a consignment boutique that does it right. I am always greeted kindly and never leave empty-​handed because the items are fairly priced. As a shopper I’m giddy and as a consignor i’m equally happy. I always get an itemized receipt with a clear account of what I bought, what it cost and my store credit used. Every item remains tagged at check out in case it doesn’t workout for my kids I can come back and exchange within a week. This is crucial for me and a basic courtesy I don’t get from another kidz consignment I use in Woodinville. Great job Twice Blessed. 4-​star only because the store can become a bit cramped/​crowded with merch, but otherwise excellent experience.

Love it! Great prices on high-​quality items. Huge variety of kids’ clothing, gear, and toys.
The owners and their kids are really wonderful, always willing to offer advise or opinions when asked (but not otherwise — also probably a positive). They also let my toddler roam around the store and test out the toys while I’m there, which is huge for me as it would otherwise be difficult to find times I could go.

New owner issues. I would avoid until they get their contracts figured out.
