Review of Front and Company

A good store overall, but really overpriced items....

A good store overall, but really overpriced items. I do wish they would be more specific with what consignment items they're looking for, especially that are in season. I remember one time I talked to a staff and asked what they're looking for. I packed exactly what she has told me, and when I brought a full bag of clothes, they only took 2 items. I was left disappointed after because when I first came to F&C for consignment, they took about 80% of clothing I have. I realized then that F&C was undergoing change of management, and it's no wonder why staff are so bitter and unapproachable when customers come in the store.

When reading the reviews here, I do understand that F&C are very picky with their select of consignment items; however, this is a "vintage" store, which means they would unlikely take items that are quite high end such as Dolce and Gabanna, Armani, Guess and etc. My suggestion is to bring these items on some of the consignment stores on South Granville. Otherwise, if you have any good quality Aritzia, Plenty or other vinage brand clothing, F&C are very much open in taking these kind of items (not always guaranteed, but it works like a charm).

My last visit was all right. It's still very vague with what they are looking for consignment purposes, so I do wish they improve that and be more specific. Staff are improving and are a lot more better than the past staff. Items are still quite overpriced, but I think everyone should be wise enough not to spend their annual income on an entire new wardrobe and focus on clothing that is actually needed.
