THE HANDPICKED SELLERS CLUB
You're in!Welcome to the club.
Thank you for signing up! 💗
We've emailed you our Sellers Guide, but while you're here, we've put everything you need to know about selling with Handpicked in one place.
Have a read, have a look around, and keep an eye on your inbox for our next appointment release.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
How selling works
It's simple. You bring us the right pieces, and we take care of the selling.
01
Look out for your email
We release appointments for one intake week each month, usually towards the end of the month.
02
Book and bring your pieces
When booking opens, we'll email you the appointment link. Choose a slot and bring your freshly washed, folded items along.
03
We do the rest
We review, prepare, photograph, price and sell the pieces we select, in our shop and online. Then we pay your share of eligible sales.
Appointments are popular and fill quickly.
Signing up to the club doesn't reserve an appointment. Please wait for your booking email and book a confirmed slot. Seller intake is strictly by appointment only: no walk-ins or unbooked drop-offs.
THE HANDPICKED EDIT
What we're looking for
Everyday pieces with great fabrics, current shapes and plenty of life left in them. The sort of things our customers can buy today and wear tomorrow.
Everyday favourites
Relaxed shirts, quality tops, wide-leg denim, trousers, casual jackets and coats.
Footwear & bags
Current flat footwear in excellent condition and carefully chosen handbags.
It's not just about the label. We choose pieces for their fabric, style, condition and how well they fit our shop. Even a lovely designer item isn't automatically right for our rails.
A LITTLE GUIDANCE
What we don't take
We'd rather be clear before you spend time preparing your pieces.
Occasion and partywearEvening outfits and party dresses. We're not taking dresses this season.
Traditional workwearFormal suits and corporate-style clothing.
Skinny jeans and dated stylesOlder shapes or trends that don't suit our current edit.
High heels and occasion shoesWe focus on wearable, everyday footwear.
Fast fashion and supermarket clothingWe favour quality, current styles and natural fabrics.
Synthetic fabricsWe generally look for wool, cashmere, cotton and linen, rather than synthetic-heavy items. We don't take faux leather items or real fur.
Jewellery and accessories We don't take jewellery or unbranded accessories
Well worn or damaged itemsWe do not take items that are Stained, damaged, unwashed, fading or well worn.
MORE THAN A NAME ON A LABEL
It's about what our customers love.
We'd generally only consider pieces in beautiful natural fibres or a real standout style. The same applies to other brands: we choose what works for Handpicked, rather than accepting everything with a familiar label.
Our wish list changes with the season, so please read your appointment email for the most up-to-date guidance.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
Getting your pieces ready
Choose carefully
We suggest bringing up to two reusable bags of pieces that fit our current edit. It's a guide, not a strict item limit.
Freshly washed and folded
Everything must be freshly washed and neatly folded. We steam items during preparation, and this can bring out lingering odours even in clothes that appear clean.
Keep the bags simple
Please use reusable shopping bags. No bin bags, suitcases, hangers or garment bags.
And the shoes?
Footwear should be clean, including the soles. Shoe boxes are absolutely fine.
No pricing at the appointment
We book your items in first, then review, select, prepare and price them afterwards. We don't send out prices, so if you have a price in mind do let us know during your appointment.
THE MONEY BIT
How commission and payouts work
50/50
Our usual split
For most pieces, the selling price is split equally between you and Handpicked.
For selected higher-value pieces, particularly handbags expected to sell for over £500, we may agree a different commission in advance and will confirm a price before the items goes out on sale.
We don't confirm prices beforehand for standard items. Prices can also change during the selling period.
15th
Monthly payouts
We make payouts on the 15th of each month for eligible sales from the previous calendar month.
Online sales are held for 30 days after delivery before they become eligible for payout, to allow for the returns window.
We'll keep you updated by email.
AFTER YOUR ITEMS HAVE BEEN ON SALE
What happens to unsold pieces?
We'll email you
When your unsold items are ready, we'll email you with collection information and a link to book a collection appointment.
Please keep an eye on your inbox, including your junk folder, as seller updates are sent by email.
14 days to collect
You'll have a 14-day collection window following notification. Items not collected within that period may be donated in line with our selling terms. Unfortunately, we can't store items indefinitely.
If you have questions about your seller account, please email hello@handpickedpreloved.com rather than asking the shop-floor team.
GOOD TO KNOW
A few questions answered
When can I book a selling appointment?
Appointments are released by email once a month for one intake week. We will email you when they become available.
Can I just drop items into the shop?
No. All seller intake must be booked in advance.
Do you take everything I bring?
No. We review each item and select what fits our customers and current stock needs.
Will you tell me the prices when I bring items in?
Not for standard items. We price them during preparation after intake and do not confirm prices before items go on sale. We discuss pricing in advance only for selected higher-value pieces with a resale value of over £500.
I'm already a Handpicked seller. Do I need to join again?
No. Existing sellers are already on our seller list and receive appointment invitations first. If you're not receiving emails, please get in touch so we can check your details.
Who do I contact about my items, payouts or collections?
Please email hello@handpickedpreloved.com so your question reaches the right person.
