worththewait

Every year a group of friends go to beat for R n R. One day we do thrift stores and Worth the Wait is just that. We all leave with a item of purchase between the lovely consignments to the newer fun items always something new to see. Love the store

Meh. I went in there once, a while ago, and walked out with one pair of pants and a shirt-​they don’t have a lot in smaller sizes, and what they have is squashed onto overcrowded racks and is hard to pull out and look at. The selection is heavy on Chico’s and soccer mom resort wear stuff-​I don’t understand the reviewers calling this high-​end consignment-​I didn’t see a thing in here that I couldn’t find in a mall or in some suburban strip mall store. Plus, just to illustrate the fact that they have nothing special or unique in here… I paid $ 16 for the shirt I got, and I am not complaining about the price… however, I later found the exact same shirt at the Salvation Army for 1.99. Once bitten, right? I won’t be coming back, but the merchandise actually isn’t the main reason.
Half of the store was full of tchotchkes and knockoff bags-I’m not sure if they are running a consignment store, or some tourist boutique-​there was just too much stuff on that side of the store, and it appeared crowded and messy. In fact, the glut of junky crafty items may have prevented them from seeing a lady who was waiting very politely at the register with her daughter-​she was a French-​speaking tourist and we had a lovely conversation while we were waiting about how most American stores offer better customer service. When I was finally waited on, the lady at the register was very pushy about getting my email address to put me on their mailing list or something-​I gave it to her just to move the line along, but removed myself as soon as I got home. This store was not only not worth the wait for me-​it wasn’t worth the trip!

The people who work here are not friendly at all. I don’t know if they are jaded or what, maybe they just are always having a bad day. I feel like at the price points available here (fairly expensive), you should at least half care about your customers. Meh.

Everyday we are tasked to make choices. Yesterday I made a choice to state how I felt about a situation on social media. My emotions were real and no matter if there were other choices I could have taken, I didn’t. Everyone should utilize freewill don’t allow my experience to sway you from what for you may experience to be a positive one. The establishment and it’s owner made an effort to resolve the situation in which I hold in high regard. I appreciate the owner’s feedback and allowing me to verbalize my thoughts for a possible solution for future clients. Fair was the resolution and no matter my feelings I do wish the business well.

I visited this store for a second time yesterday. They have A LOT to choose from. However, I thought the items would be at consignment prices, but it’s more of a boutique. Therefore, the pricing is like a department store. A lil pricey, but some great finds.
They have purses, hats, shoes (I think I saw a few), tons of clothing from dresses to pants, an array of jewels and costume jewelry. The selection is plentiful. I seriously doubt you will be disappointed.
Now, the evening gowns are kinda blah. They are more on the elegant end. Like something you may wear to a wedding (mother of the bride) or a pageant. As a result, I didn’t care too much for them. No clothing really caught my eye, but other shoppers were loading up.
Now, the jewelry and hats… that’s my thing! I was in heaven… eyes lit up like a Christmas Tree… so much to choose from!!!
I did witness a shopper looking to buy something aqua (in color). The shopper asked the salesperson to verify the color… «is this more of a baby blue or aqua» The salesperson replied… it’s more of a light colored aqua. Now the shirt CLEARLY was baby blue. But hey, I respect their hustle. The lady sho nuff bought the shirt anyway. I said to myself, I hope she doesn’t step into the light and realize the shirt is indeed BABY BLUE in color. heheheheh. good luck with that!
But overall, you should definitely take some time and visit here. But remember a couple dollars isn’t going to get you anything in this store. Come ready to spend. But also keep in mind, you may be the only one with that piece of clothing or jewelry around town.
The salespersons were just ok. They didn’t seem talkative until I was in line making my purchase. But they did speak once I walked in. The air was kinda stale, but once you are in the store looking around you can breathe freely.
Have fun!

This is an one of a kind shop which is close to Francis Land house. On a nice day, it is an easy walk from Sam’s club. It was nice and mostly authentic until at one point business got slow. They did sell some fake look alike bags, but everyone knows they were fake even with the logos on. They were forced to take those off the shelf. Now they sell look alike without the logos. So, things should be ok!

LOVE this little consignment shop! Okay– I will admit that all the customers there at the time I was were over 60 at least… and the fashion seems a little conservative, but they have some real gems in there! I am in love with several Kate Spade and Dooney bags and I love the condition and prices. Beats ebay any day! I also think they have very cute, inexpensive jewelry… so you really can’t go wrong!

the WIF loves this place. Good selection, very clean and welcoming!

Worth the wait is a nice consignment shop, all of their items are in excellent condition, the establishment is clean, the racks and items are well organized, and more than anything, the quality of their merchandise is stellar. I’ve sold a few pieces here and I believe the cut is ⁶⁰⁄₄₀ but I can’t remember. Anyway, its been a while but I believe it takes a month or so to receive profits from sold merchandise but this is the best place to go if you’re selling high end pieces.
I do recall a bad customer service experience but despite that, my overall experiences have been good. I’ve gotten a few really unique items from Worth the Wait and while they are more expensive than you’re average consignment shop, they also have higher standards as far as what they accept. I also like that they require paperwork on designer handbags. It may make things difficult for the seller but it certainly provides assurance from a buyers perspective. I’m also really found of their relationship with local designers… they bring about eccentric, but not over the top, items. The Hello Kitty jewelry is some of my favorite. I recommend visiting if you’re in the area and especially if attending an occasion where you need something but don’t want to deal with malls or department stores. It’s actually better because even the high end stores ypically carry several of the same ensemble… here you can rid yourself of that reoccurring nightmare (OMG is she wearing my dress?) and also score a really unique piece.

Worth the Wait is a fabulous store! Every time I walk in there, it is full of new items and great buys. Great for jewelry, bags, clothes and gifts for just about anyone. Highly recommended!

Worth the Wait is worth the wait or the drive or the whatever it takes to get there.
It’s a high-​end consignment shop specializing in ladies’ clothes, shoes and handbags, handbags and more handbags.
Actually a lot of the handbags are new. They have the store divided more or less in half: one half contains their gently used consignment items – including nice labels… everything from Michael Kors and Ann Taylor Loft to Bebe and BCBG. The prices are not dirt-​cheap, but they’re good considering the quality of the items.
The selection can lean towards church lady side. I was in there with my daughter one day and she said, «Hey Mom, this must be the old lady section,» pointing to one huge rack.
But if you look closely there are is a little something for most women/​age groups.
The rest of the store is filled with new stuff: funky jewelry (lots of rhinestones), unusual gift items (soaps, wine holders, personal margarita kits… which every woman needs) and, like I said, purses and purses and more purses.
The place is decorated really cool – especially the dressing room doors, which are painted with some art deco looking fancy ladies.

Worth the wait is an adorable consignment boutique that just about makes you forget that you’re shopping for used items. The store is bright, colorful and welcoming – it’s the kind of place you will wander around and wonder how you spent so much time in such a small store.
The clothes are cute and seasonal, although I feel like they may be catering to an older (over forty) and more conservative me. They do however have great popular brands at can’t beat prices – I found a pair of Seven jeans in my size and a BCBG dress for just $ 45 each (not a simple feat, I am here to testify). There’s tons of funky, classic and unique jewelry and even some that looks handmade and one of a kind. I was told that new stuff comes in every day, so there’s always a reason to drop by and see what strikes your fancy.
Got some nice stuff you don’t mind parting with for the right price? Worth the Wait offers 40% for your consignments and 50% if you use your consignment money as store credit. Awesome.

This cute little store is easy to miss as it is right on the other side of the «auto row» of Virginia Beach Blvd.
The interior of the store feels spilt in three sections. As you enter, there is a huge Vera Bradley display to your left and to your right they carry a large collection of knock-​off designer bags. I hate knock-​offs! I think it’s strange for a retail store to carry bags that are obvious fakes. In front of you is the consignment part of the store. They mostly cater to «Mom» types but there are occasionally some gems. I haven’t found a purse or bag yet that was current enough, but someone might see something that I didn’t!
Happy hunting!
