Adora Consignment

I stopped by Adora hoping to consign some of my and my daughter’s outgrown clothes. I had a two large laundry baskets of all name brand (Gap, Gymboree, North Face. .. all really nice stuff). I was dissapointed almost immediatley. The girl working at the counter was rude and seemed entirely uniterested and annoyed that she was bothered to sort through clothes. While I waited for her to go through them I browsed around the store. Dissapointed again. I usually like to look for mostly high quality, name brand items when shopping consignment, but Adora seemed to carry mainly target, faded Glory, fred myer type brands. They were also overpriced. I just don’t think $ 4 dollars for a used Circo brand shirt is a great deal! The Womens clothing was also overpriced. $ 30 dollars for an outdated Lane Bryant dress and $ 65 dollars for beat up looking, outdated pack and plays when they are all over craigslist for under $ 50???
When the icy girl at the counter was finished looking at the clothes I brough in I was offered $ 12 for three items of Macy’s brand dresses. Not a bad deal, but I was confused at why none of my children’s clothes were picked. i very politley asked why and the girl rudely told me that it was because a lot of the items were to «weorn or stained and ripped». I was really confused then! I consign all the time and I would never waste my time bringing in stained, ripped or overly worn clothes because I know they just wont be takenThe clothes I brought in were much higher quality than what was on the shelves. Everything was in great condition, leaving me to think the girl was just being a brat… Another thing, I was told that I had to use my store credit by the end of the month, which was in four days. So annoying!
A few day laters I ended up selling my clothihg to an e-​bay store owner for $ 1 – 5 an item. She was so much nicer to deal with and I ended uop getting much more cash than I anticipated
getting from Adora.

I saw their ad on craigslist advertising name brand clothing, and my teenage daughter had some that she didn’t want anymore. So i thought we would give them a try. First off when we walked in we weren’t even greeted by the women in the store, but i figured whatever.
I had two small bags of clothing and was told to sign in and read their policy. Beware if you don’t like their offer on your clothing you have to pay them $ 5 for just looking at your stuff. They advertise name brand but i didn’t see a lot of brand name items, I didn’t know walmart jeans were considered name brand LOL!
My daughter was lucky to find a pair of abercrombie kids shorts and a pair of abercrombie kids Capri’s. We took the store credit of $ 21 dollars on our clothing we brought in and owed 4 cents.
I don’t see how they can stay in business much longer with their low quality and selection of clothing. They also need a course in customer service. I will not go back to this place, it is just a waste of time.

One word. TACKY.
This place is a dive.
I was constantly seeing ad’s on Craigslist promoting this store as a «childrens consignment shop». Well I happened to be in the Everett mall one evening and decided to stop in.
What a waste.
First off the girl working there was probably a teenager who was wearing all black, short shorts, fish net stockings, and a skimpy shirt. Not what I would normally see in a childrens store.
Second was the fact that a good percentage of the clothing was mark downs from stores like Target that had the clearance stickers removed (they didn’t bother to remove the sticky part, just the labels). I expect to see an item or two like that in a used clothing store but not in these quantities. It looked like someone had been out trolling and clearing out last seasons stuff from real stores.
Then there were the prostitute boots over on the shoe wall. Holy cow. Never in my life would I have thought I would see black faux patent leather thigh high, high heeled boots in a childrens shop.
By the time we got to the back of the store and had been in there for several minutes the girl had not ONE TIME lifted her eyes from the craft project she was working on to greet or even acknowledge the fact that there were indeed a group of 5 people in the store.
Don’t waste your time. There are way better childrens stores in the Everett area. I am just glad I didn’t bother making a special trip to the mall just to go to Adora.

I was in the Everett Adora location this afternoon, September 11, Saturday at about 4pm. I had a bag of jeans and pants that I was hoping to sell. I came in with my husband and my 5 month old baby. There were baby clothes and gear too so this caught my interest when I saw their website.
There was only one person on staff. I did not get her name, but I am sure based on the time and day that I was there, the manager or owner of the store can figure it out.
The store was not busy. There was a customer in the dressing room and two customers looking at shoes. The girl at the counter/​cashier was sorting through clothes that I guess have come in.
First of all, the girl was NOT friendly at all. She did not even greet us. Her personality was icy. I asked her if the store is accepting jeans and pants to buy. She said yes. I then replied that I had some pants and jeans with me. She then icily and haughtily replied «Well, when I’m done with these, then I’ll look at your stuff». What she meant by «these» was a counter full of clothes.
Second, once the other customers that were looking at shoes were ready to pay, she stopped what she was doing. After they had left, it was like my family and I were invisible. She didn’t even acknowledge us or say something like «I will be right with you». I would have appreciated that rather than a blank stare and what seemed like attitude and I would have totally overlooked the haughty attitude that she gave me when I first walked in.
After about 5 minutes of my family and I just standing around, clearly done browsing, and waiting for that staff member to attend to us, I decided to leave. It was a very disappointing first experience in that store. I totally support thrift and consignment stores and I really wanted to give that store a chance but customer service is KEY and the store’s staff member was lacking that.
I had a bag of good pants and jeans that are better than gently used. I only used those jeans for a few months because I got pregnant and i NEVER put my jeans in the dryer so that even is a plus because there was no evidence of any wear or fraying.
Needless to say, the experience was just downright poor. I don’t think I will be going to that store again, nor will I recommend it to my family and friends. I was not about to sell my pants to them for chunk change only for them to mark it up. I’m not that desperate for their money.
