We are proud to offer an array of equestrian consignment items. Consignment is a great way to get rid of tack collecting dust in your tack room! If you are looking to consign with us, there are a few things to note:
1. ALL Items must be in usable form (no repairs needed, not broken or damaged, etc.)
2. ALL items must be CLEAN prior to dropping them off. This includes all leather cleaned and conditioned and blankets laundered. If we feel an item is still dirty, we will either reject the item or charge cleaning fees accordingly($5-20/item) to your account.
3. **Starting February 1, 2024** Items can be dropped of one of two ways:
By Appointment: Consignment drop off appointments are Monday from 2-6pm and Thursday from 6-8pm. Items dropped off by appointment will be presorted directly with the pricing team and the consignor will have the option to take home or donate items we are not able to accept.
Appointments can be booked online by clicking here or by calling the store directly at 778-278-8738.
By Walk-in: Items can be dropped off at anytime during the following business hours: Tuesday to Saturday 10-5pm and Sunday 11-4pm. Walk-in Drop Offs will not be sorted in store and will be at the final discretion of the pricing team. Items not accepted for pricing will be donated automatically.
Any drop offs with more than 25 items must be BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
4. All payouts are subject to a $2.00 transaction fee. Additional fees may be added depending on the situation and may include:
- Stop Payment Fee - $15.00/cheque
- Cheque Courier Fee - by quote
- Lost Cheque Fee - $15.00/cheque
- EFT Expiration Fee - $5.00 + original transaction fee of $2.00
Please note: As of January 2024, we will no longer be mailing cheques by regular post. Cheques must be sent by courier or certified mail at the expense of the consignor. Alternatively, cheques can always be picked up in store during our regular business hours for no additional fee.
Cheques not picked up in store within 60 days of the date of issue will be destroyed and payment will have to be reissued, resulting in added wait time and additional fees.
5. Any items requested for pick up by the consignor in ANY circumstance must be picked up within 2 weeks of the date of request or they will be donated without further communication.
6. On General Consignment rates we take 45% of the sale price and you, the consignor, will receive 55%. On Saddles it is a 70/30 split with 70% going to the consignor.
7. Consignment contracts are 6 months. After the 6 months, items under $50 may be donated automatically. For higher priced items, we will email you and ask if you would like to adjust the price, pick up the item or have it donated. To avoid donation of any currently consigned items, please follow up with the store prior to the 6 month contract expiry.
8. Payment to our consignors is by request. Simply email us or give the store a call to request to be paid out for your sold items within one year of the sale date. Please note: there may be a waiting period for payouts due to high demand and banking limitations. After one year from the date of sale the money will become store credit only for up to 6 months, after which it will be forfeited.

9. The Tack Addict reserves the right to revise or alter our consignment terms at any time. All consignors will be given written notice by email of any changes.
10. Email is our primary form of communication with our consignors. Please be sure that you are checking the email you provided to us for possible updates or information.
11. We do not tolerate rude, aggressive or discourteous actions towards our employees, management or ownership. Any person who chooses to act in such ways will be asked to pick up their items and/or leave the store. This will result in the closing of their consignment account and prevention of any further consignment with The Tack Addict.
12. We maintain the right to adjust prices due to length of time the item has been in the store and during store promotions/sales. We always use our best judgment. Price changes or offers on saddles and high value items ($500+) will always be presented to the consignor before acted upon. Should the consignor not respond to an offer within 24 hours, The Tack Addict reserves the right to make a decision on the consignors behalf.
13. If you need to pick up an item currently on consignment with us, please let us know by email or phone. You will be required to sign the item out or have provided written consent previously to us if someone if picking up on your behalf. Items must be picked up within 2 weeks of requesting.
Note: Items that have been on consignment for less than 60 days will be subject to a 10% processing fee.
