Beware!!!! In process of small claims court! Owner Emily Stewart came to my home and collected a total of 24 bags of clothing under a Business relationship! She then proceeded to tell me that after sifting through the clothing, only four totes were able to be processed through her store. She then donated the rest of my clothes WITHOUT my consent and then told me the rest of the clothes would not be profitable. I asked her to return what was left. What I received was 2 bags of the 24 that left my home and none of the most valuable items. ! She stole from me! Items included Louis Vuitton, Levi's, Gucci, Calvin Klein , Truly Jeans, leather shoes, boots hunter, boots , handbags, Nike, ect. adidas, Jewelry and more. ... read more

Don't consign your items at this store. Rip Off. I brought expensive brand name bags here(Coach) were 3 of them, 1 was purchased for $400.00.They say it was sold for $40, which they gave me $20 . All brand new quality. They gave me $90.00 for all 5 bags. Rip off!!!! Stay away, learn from my mistake and sell your items on-line instead of these thieves. read more

they have the best stuff and i love them! highly recommend this great small business. one of the only places around that has designer goods at great prices and does consignment. read more

I've been coming in here for years and I have nothing but great things to say about this store. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful! I highly recommend checking this store out. read more

All of the employees, as well as owners, are the rudest people I have EVER met! Can't be bothered with questions and have ZERO patience. I've had friends go in and they felt the same. I'm not one to be negative, but this has happened consistently, whether in person or on the phone. I'm sorry about this, but I kept hoping I would have a different experience, but that did not happen. I wish them well... read more

I came in last week looking to buy some jewelry lots as it's my new hobby. As I was looking in the case I was greeted by a very friendly guy, he saw me being indecisive on which one I wanted and offered me both for the price of one! The women are also extremely friendly. Overall welcoming and enjoyable experience and I will be coming back regularly! read more

I allways took merchandise to this store and it sold. Now they wont take anything I take there.

They mark things with blue tags then gaslight you and tell you those tags aren't blue and refuse to give you the sale price. False advertising is against the law. read more

Main St Consignment & Thrift - Thrift Stores Near Me - Wilmington, Massachusetts

See all

My mom and I always find something great. Their prices are really good too. BUT the customer service is lacking. I wish I could say otherwise, but it does leave a weird feeling in you once you leave. Almost uncomfortable. But worth it for cool stuff! read more

The owner is rude, and very condescending. Sh had me wait with my consignment bag and came back and said she's not taking it without knowing what I had, she said she doesn't sell what I have, which was nice small crystal pieces, I mentioned them and she said we don't take them here! I just walked around looking at some of the same things! She's not pleasant at all! I will not go back there at all! read more

Such a good selection and the service is great. Emily was so cool and helpful!! I would highly recommend coming here if you want to find something unique! read more

If leaving consignment items, the owner not the friendliest nor gives you time when taking your items. She sells them for pennies tbh. And seems what I drop off is less than what's sold but items I don't see in store to take back. I dropped off a good amount of great items and got $27? Seriously? And because of the unfriendliest feel like you're bothering her, you don't even want to inquire about getting items back. It's enjoyable as a buyer as prices fair but consigned, nah. I'd not ever do again. I'd rather donate my stuff. read more

The female sole proprietor (Amy) is insulting rude and disagreeable . she does not allow any questions about why she is not accepting your items. If you ask a question her face gets distorted and she becomes rude and insulting The young woman with the black hair is very nice polite and helpful. The man Joe who works in the store is polite knowledgeable and helpful The female proprietor is not suited for dealing with the public In the past I have witnessed her berating other customers when they have brought items in with the hopes of consigning. She has also bad mouthed other customers Just be sure to be prepared if you have to deal with Amy. You need to have thick skin read more

When I first came into the store, it was nice, had a decent selection of non-clothing items. No real treasures though, so if you're looking for that, don't bother here. I was an employee at this store for several months, minimum wage of course, but was asked to do things outside of the job description, such as walking the owners dog, running errands for her, dropping off unsold and unclaimed items to the Salvation Army. I did them because I'm a nice person and honestly needed the job at the time. Fast forward a month or two, I was told they no longer needed me anymore because I didn't risk my life to come in during a blizzard (called to let them know, but of course no answer). I've also heard people having very bad customer service experiences here from Wilmington residences. read more

Does anyone know how to get in contact with the store? I am a current consignor and with the pandemic have not been able to contact the owners to discuss payment or pickup of items. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you! read more

the owner was a jerk he was swearing at me and called me trouble and told me to leave. I was asking about something I gave to him to sell and when I asked if it sold he got rude with his language. He sells your items on Facebook and not in the store and you don't get anything back if you give ten on your sheet your lucky to see 2 sold. He likes to take advantage of older women and scam them. I do not recommend going here especially if he is stereotyping people without even knowing them. DONT GO HERE. read more

Missing 3 pairs of very slightly used name brand shoes that I cannot believe we're not sold. I cannot prove anything so I will chuck it to experience. Next time I will drop off one or two at a time so you can track whether it has been sold or not. I should have donated my items to church or goodwill because at least I know it was not "lost" and someone profited from it. This was very disappointing. read more

This is a nice shop with items from multiple sellers. Items come in fairly regularly - no extreme deals but often some very good niche items. I've picked up some nice kitchen items, and an inexpensive wooden dresser that someone had repainted red from them (this later was around $60 to $75 at the time). I like what I've found there and the people running the place are friendly. It's not a huge shop and it may not have what you are looking for, but it's worth a look as often it surprises me with what it has. read more

Main Street Consignment & Thrift, open your bathroom when a customer requests to use it!!. Did you know: it is a $100 fine in Massachusetts if you don't open your bathroom for someone suffering from any sort of chronic/bowel disorder. No one should have to get graphic about their needs, if they are asking to use the bathroom, then they need to use it and you should be understanding of that. Someday someone is going to leave you a nice little present in your dressing room and you'll wish you opened the bathroom door!! read more

What I love about this place is that it is huge and full of great quality items, not junk. It is also clean and not cluttered. Plenty of parking in the parking lot. They consign 50/50 unlike some other shops that are now doing 40/60...shady, i know... They have everything: jewelry, books, clothes (not outdated), furniture, misc. housewares, dvd's, cd's, some small antique items in glass cases, sports/trading cards, old postcards (protected in plastic sleeves!). A good amount of items were new with tags/in box and most everything was in like-new condition. It has been open since May 2009. I hope to come back someday eventhough I rarely/never go to Wilmington... read more

Very clean, with a good selection of items. Nothing I was interested in, but I'd stop in there to look around. Price's were definitely Ebayed, so no "super deals", but as far as a thrift/pawn store goes it's really nice. read more

Nice store, neatly arranged and fairly priced. Mostly non-clothes items, which I like. This isn't the type of store where you will find a hidden treasure though. Any stuff they have of value is locked in a display case and priced accordingly. Still, if I was in the area, I'd definitely check it out again. Sales people were nice. read more

First off, read all the reviews for this place before making the decision to go. That includes all the "HIDDEN" reviews, which are the more recent reviews, and not shockingly at all, they are 95% extremely negative. And consistent in what they say, and I agree with them completely. I've been stopping in here every so often for years, when I'm in the neighborhood. I can't help it, I'm a thriftaholic. But this place is seriously the pits and 100% it is because of the owner. She is rude, snooty, and just an overall toxic presence. Occasionally I will find something that I want here, but more often than not, I leave empty handed. A lot of knick-knacks and the clothes are mostly outdated and overpriced. I was in here the other day and I noticed yet again that the dark haired young lady who has worked here for years seems seriously afraid of her boss, and is always running around like a chicken without her head because I'm sure she's nervous coming to work everyday. I need to, and pledge to, take a permanent break from this store. I just no longer feel comfortable giving this owner a cent of my hard-earned money. I hope the owner can find a way to happiness, reading the reviews here and taking it to heart how she comes off to others would be a good start. read more

Nice store. I found all kinds of vintage porcelain and ceramic items in good condition. The prices were fair and the woman who rang up my order was very pleasant. I will definitely shop there again. read more

I have been in thrift shops all over...including snooty shops in Winchester and in NH. I have never experienced one like this shop. Where do u people shop that you do not think this place is dirty!! To boot - it smells. Owners are rude...do they think they are running Hermes???? I also took top of the line stuff there...they refused most of my items but did take a blouse which they claimed they got $5.00 for....I got $2.50. A waste of time trying to trade there...you do better online. I have not been in that crappy store since but go by it alot and want to throw rocks at it!! Save yourself from rude dudes and get better money and "stuff" elsewhere. read more

My wife and I go to this place every weekend. We always find something their! We are hooked! Their consignment is very efficient, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. read more

I have been a consignor and customer for years of Main Street consignment. Extremely honest management. 50/50 split for payout. Always treated with respect. Always find something new and exciting to see or buy. Thank you for your service in th community. read more

So...I brought in 2 full trash bags of clothes. which were all bought from NY and Company. She said they weren't going to take anything!! That my clothes would not sell ...um...excuse me?. As I look around the store of shit hanging off racks that my grandmother wouldn't wear...I said to her "but you sell this crap"? Not to mention everyone working there looks homeless so they must be shopping off the racks themselves. ...I took my bags and brought it across the street to goodwill which I know will be snatched up by someone who has taste and style. ...will not be going back ever read more

Can't say I love this place. First of all, no bathrooms. Seriously, you need to let people use the bathroom. Even when I asked, "no". Secondly, I wanted one small dish from a set. Nope, couldn't break it apart. For real? It's a thrift store, not an antique dealer. Thirdly, you need to spend $10 to use your card. Outdated. And, the girl behind the counter wasn't the most helpful. Get with the times, Main St. Thrift. You're kind of lousy. read more

I called last week to see what the procedure was for dropping off stuff as I had never done it. I believe I spoke with the owner and she said just to come in any time before 4 no appointment necessary. I asked what they take if only clothes. She told me that they also take household items and were only taking fall/winter stuff. I brought in 3 boxes of clothes..she looked at the top few items and told me that there is nothing she would take and held up a sheet and asked if I had one. I said no I called and they said just to bring the stuff in. She told me that it is donation stuff. I asked her if she looked thru the stuff and she said it isn't sorted and I'm not wasting my time. I told her noone told me to fill out a form or sort when I called. There are new with tags LL bean shirts, Columbia ski jacket, hollister, converse that she didn't bother to look at. I was bringing stuff back to my car and came back in and asked for my box and she told me she put it on the curb!! This was the owner I confirmed and she was extremely rude and basically told me no one would ever tell such things. I will never go back and I would urge others to take their business elsewhere. read more

As a potential CONSIGNER, the management is rude, condescending and snobby. I brought in some high end designer merchandise after discovering this shop and the owner RUDELY told me she was going to PASS. Excuse me? Her reasoning was that ONE item was a little dirty while the rest were PRISTINE. She also mentioned that there needed to be at least $50 in merchandise, so she wasn't interested. I had an authentic leather COACH BAG in the mix that was in great condition!! I have no idea how anyone who makes a living reselling other peoples discarded crap has the nerve to be such a snooty B*%$h! I left there with such a horrible taste in my mouth and had to take a moment to realize that without any consigners she will be making 50% of NOTHING. Also, the policy is that THEY set the prices. Sounds like a scam to me. I bet they put $10 price tags on high end merchandise, pay the consigner $5 and then sell it online for the price its worth. I will never, ever, ever step foot in there again. I think the worst part of this was her snooty attitude. As if she were the QUEEN of all things second hand. The only thing she was GOOD at in my opinion is making a potential income generating partner FURIOUS. A hundred thumbs DOWN. read more

MAIN ST CONSIGNMENT & THRIFT -- As a consignor, I brought in 15 items. Labels included were Loft, Lucky Brand, Nautica, and other misc. labels. All 15 were rejected. The owner said they didn't need any more clothes. I did bring in a pair of hardly worn beige jeans that were Chaps which would make a nice staple for someone on a budget. She brushed me off with a snooty attitude and said they were from Kohls. I wouldn't mind if she (the owner) had high end clothing there, but she doesn't. In fact, what I saw was lesser nice things than what I brought in. I decided to go to another thrift store in a neighboring town and that owner was much more professional and took all but 2 items which was fair. The owner in the neighboring town had more high end items as well. This snooty attitude from this woman was not the first time I was on the receiving end of this from her. Who needs this treatment? Definitely, the last time I will waste my time here. read more

Awesome place with a great selection and a great owner. I've been reading reviews about the bathroom....this is not a public facility...people go to the restaurant down the road for that. Don't knock a place because they won't take the insurance liability of letting the public Use a mom public facility. This is a great place to get good stuff at a reasonable prices! Joe read more

I have to tell you Joe the owner, helped me tremendously. After losing my Dad unexpectedly, who was a hoarder, I was given his name by a friend. I had been tasked with cleaning out a 2 family home packed to the gills with stuff. I didn't know where to begin, I was so overwhelmed with grief, living an hour away and family/job to take care of. Joe came to my Dad's with his truck and two team members and they carefully packed and inventoried the items. They were very respectful and asked what I wanted them to take and made sure I had approved anything before it went out the door. I was provided checks monthly and was able to cover the expenses incurred from cleaning out the rest of the house. I don't know what I would have done without their help. read more

Their clothing consignment is somewhat limited but each item is in great condition and well priced. I found many great pieces there and many more that I wanted to get! They've even got the accessories you need too like jewelry, belts, shoes, and purses. They've got a huge selection of DVDs, knick knacks and kids stuff. Also, the furniture peices ranged from vintage to conversation pieces to standard items. The store is so neat, not cluttered at all like most that I've visited. On my last visit there, I heard the owner talking about sports memorabilia. I'm not a huge collector but for those of you looking for that, this store might be worth a trip. read more

Love this place! Owners are great and the selection is ever changing. Drop off hours are regular and always plenty of staff to help you! Def worth putting in your shopping rotation! read more

Excellent shop, nicely arranged. I love the staff. I go there as often as once a week. I am always pleased with the shop, the merchandise. The staff seems to enjoy browsers as well as consignors and buyers. No damaged merchandise is accepted so the quality of items is excellent, Attention to customers is low key, so all you need to do is ask and you will get all the information and service that you wish. read more

This place is great if you are into clothes and knick nacks. Their prices seem to be based around eBay prices. Worth a visit if you are nearby! read more

I both shop and consign at Main Street Consignment. This is one of the best places to get some cash for my nicnacks and clothing, too. They look closely at the clothing to be sure it isn't stained or torn or shabby and keep to the seasons. The staff is very friendly and work really hard at getting items priced and out for sale. I have found some personal treasures for sale at a fair price so even if some of the items have been researched and priced accordingly, it really depends on what you collect and want. If you are a dealer, it is not the best place to buy for resale elsewhere. FYI. read more
