First time at Worth the Wait. I was pleasantly surprised by the operation. They do consignments until 4 PM daily excluding Sunday. They take all seasons. Plenty of parking with good signage. I found the area clean. Nice staff looked over my four items for consignment. I browsed what was mostly women's clothing and accessories. They also offer some new items. Everything was clean and no odor. Pricing was decent. Unfortunately they do not take business attire and declined my dress pants and shirts. Maybe another time I will try them. But really not enough Men's items for me to rush. 3.5 rounding up. read more

I've only been in once and found a great jacket, which was perfect for the season. You can tell The clothing are very well chosen and wonderful prices. The service providers are very friendly. read more

Great selection of clothing for work and play and especially love the clearance section. Not to mention the shoes. Omg! I bought 5 pairs.

awesome little shop, you get fabulous deals for your money. The staff is great, you should check it out if you are in the area.

I just had a terrible experience when trying to sell something. I asked for paperwork showing what I dropped off for them to price and sell. Without hesitation, the woman ripped up my contract I had just signed, told me they have been in business for 25 years and said this wasn't for me. They had me sign a contract to protect them, but nothing to protect the customer selling when leaving items of value. Awful experience. **Edited to add after owner commented. *I was never offered a separate contract with the items on it. If that was the case I would have gone back another day no problem. *After you made it clear you didn't want my business, I tried to pick up the paperwork that I had just written all my information on and you pulled it away not allowing me to take it and then ripped it up. I would have never left my information on the counter for someone to "steal". *This is not about trust. This was my first experience with you and never in my life have I been asked to leave items of value with a business and not receive some sort of paperwork saying so. Our stories do not match up. I appreciate reviews and just left this information so someone doesn't have the same experience as myself. read more

I love consignment shopping and I feel so lucky to have found this shop two years ago when I moved here to Hampton roads. The staff is friendly and the selection is amazing! I can always find professional attire for work and casual weekend items as well! And I have bought evening wear and a couple of nice Kate Spade bags! The prices are reasonable and Consigning with them is a breeze too! Love my regular visits here! Keep it up ladies!! read more

I love this place. They have some really nice clothing and accessories here with new things added every week. The pricing is great and I really appreciate the variety. It's by far, my favorite consignment store in the area. I always enjoy interacting with the staff as they truly seem excited to be there and willing to help with any questions I might have. Give them a try. I think that you will be pleasantly surprised! read more

These people are the worst. No idea why everyone working there is so condescending when the merch isnt that great. Selling as a consignor process is overly complicated and a ripoff. I went to retrieve my items today and was sneered at by a 25 year old with a Mohawk. Couldn't find one item and she refused to help me. You'd do better on Thredup.com. read more

Cute little store with a great selection. I bought a Tory Burch purse that was very affordable. Never buying brand new again! The staff were excited to help me and very welcoming. read more

This is a great shop. The prices are reasonable. Staff is always helpful. Definitely drop in if you are in the area.

Neat little place, great finds for all sorts of sizes and occasions. The shop is also well maintained.

Great shop with something for everybody! The selection is vast and super affordable! The staff are pretty awesome too

Great quality items. Neat little shop. Will definitely be back! I found a great purse there.

My 93 year old mom visiting for the holidays spends a good half hour trying on shoes and finds two pair that fit perfectly. She asks the manager if she could use the restroom and was told "No, it's an insurance policy issue and I can't let you". The manager then proceeds to threaten throwing her out of the store. She even has the audacity to come out of her "hole" as she is taking off the shoes to say to my mom, that she was on the phone with the owner and still wouldn't let her use their restroom. I had to take my mom next door, order some food, so that my mom could get some relief. I use to be a frequent shopper here when it was ran and operated by a lovely woman with employees who knew how to run a business and to treat their customers. They had a public restroom. The quality of their consigned clothing at that time was a place you knew you would find something nice and leave happy and with a free caramel something that the new owner chose to do away with, guess that was an insurance issue too. read more

This consignment shop is laid out beautifully. It's easy to find your size and style. Some of the racks are separated by designer, which makes it convenient if you are looking for a particular brand. Most of the prices seemed a bit high to me, so definitely wait for the discounted prices to take effect, unless you can't live without the item! There's a good selection of shoes and an enormous jewelry department. Much of the jewelry is crafted by artisans and quite unique. They also stock nice gift items, books, mugs, pens, etc. Be sure to look in the back clearance room... up to 50-75% off. I found some amazing deals on jewelry, a cool yellow bracelet for $3, some necklaces for $4, and even a picture for $12. The service was a bit slow but Worth the Wait is definitely worth the stop! read more

Dropped by on my lunch hour to look for a new LV to add to my collection. Let's just say customer service must have been on a break! 2 employees - no "Hello" not even an attempt to make eye contact. Although the handbags were nice the cold shoulder will make me shop elsewhere read more

This consignment store is a fun spot to find awesome deals! They add new stuff every Tuesday, and they have some amazing name-brand steals! I found some gorgeous Michael Kors heels, Sam Edelman boots, and a few name-brand tops for a fraction of the price you would buy new - all of them barely worn or still with the tags on! I was torn on whether to write a review because I want to keep this hidden gem all to myself :-) But I'm a firm believer of sharing the love and promoting great small businesses. Caution: You might find yourself frequenting this place and buying things you never knew you needed! I gave it a 4 star because from week-to-week it is "hit or miss", but it is always fun to stop by when in the area and see what I find. read more

I LOVE this store!!! The staff is wonderful and so friendly & helpful! It's immaculate and they have the highest standards I've ever seen in a consignment store. I saw where a customer made a comment regarding how nobody was there to greet her, which has never happened when I've come.....which is often! I think with the pandemic, we need to give more business's a break with staff who are low at times due to illness. I'd rather have them be short handed than have sick employees (although I don't know if that was the case but I know how much they care about the customers & employees!) I'm so excited to see their Spring collections! There's always something new for everyone's taste! ~Annette read more

I went in to shop bad idea apparently. He husband went in with me and was going to wait till I was finished, he sat on a stool designated for sitting . He was asked not to sit on the stool. The only reason I suspect is that he was a black man.??????? read more

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. read more

If Do you plan to bring clothes here make sure you know all the rules and regulations. My sister has many medical issues and I try to bring clothes in for her as I live out of state and was on a time limit and they were very difficult and would not accept the clothes because my sister had to fill out the paperwork and would not allow me to do it. I even offered to go get her license and have her sign the paperwork they would not allow that. Nothing like trying to help out the elderly and handicap. read more

A wide array of high-end items. All of your favorite designers. They even have a small activewear section. There's also a section with long fur coats and a section with vintage fur stoles. Lots of jackets and formal wear too. read more

I got to the store at 10:00 a.m. on the dot as I had called the day before checking on a Chanel bag I had seen on their website the day prior - since the pictures were not very descriptive I wanted to see the bag firsthand. I waited outside the door for them to open and the door stayed locked past 10:00 am. peering in I could see a salesgirl and she did not acknowledge me a with a wave or smile - I did not tap on the window or anything like that but just waited patiently- and just thought, okay, they are preparing for the day - this was when I noticed a rude statement on their door that stated, "We open at 10:00am. if you are standing at the door and try to rush us as we are preparing we will not open the door until 10:10 am". Wow. while I never knocked or tried to get their attention they had seen me and finally did open the door at 10:08 am. I told the girl that unlocked the door what I was there for and she directed me to the bag. after checking the bag, and asking a few questions I did indeed decide I wanted the bag. when I was rung up I was told that they do not offer bags to put items in but I could purchase an eco friendly bag for $1.50. Really? "I jut purchased an almost $3,000 dollar bag and you can't throw that in" is what I thought, but didn't say anything at the time except okay I would purchase one. I wanted that particular bag; however, I wasn't happy with the customer service at this time in this store at all. I've been going there for years but wasn't particularly happy today all the way around except for what I purchased. The salesgirl that rung me up was nice, but I could not believe she charged me $1.50 for a bag for a nearly $3,000 purchase of a Chanel bag. Y'all might want to re-think your practices and door statements. read more

No thanks. My wife and her Aunt stopped in needing an earth tone sweater for a photo and just to look. I meandered and my mere existence was questioned. Sorry I am a male who is dressed "average." read more

Very good shopping experience. Great price and you can find some real good vintage clothing or hand bag

This has to be one of my favorite consignment shops! The selection is dope and fairly priced, you can find high end items and more basic everyday items as well. The staff is super friendly, the luxury handbags are authenticated and you can tell the staff is selective about what they take in for inventory! The have a few new items in the store, which are beautiful! Definitely a class act! read more

I love this store! I've bought everything from designer purses, shoes, pants, jackets, dresses and beautiful jewelry! If you haven't been then it's time you stop by and check them out. The staff is so helpful and the owner really has a talent for knowing how to display the inventory that makes you want everything! I get so many compliments whenever I wear any of the items I purchased from WTW. The prices are excellent and definitely worth the wait! read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

The best consignment shop -- I've been getting great stuff from this store for nearly 10 years. From Lilly to work clothing to gifts, they really have everything you could ask for. The owners are a dream to work with and are great to consign with. One of the best kept secrets in Virginia Beach!!! read more

I found them to have very poor customer service. I noticed it the first few times I went to consign but didn't really think much of it. In March 2020 I called to let them know I wasn't receiving any emails and inquired about my pick-up date. Shortly thereafter all retails stores were closed due to Covid-19, so I waited for retail re-openings and then called to find out my new date. Turns out they never closed. Apparently they emailed this information but, as I had reported, I don't recieve emails (and they never did any trouble-shooting to see what the issue is). Seems like an honest misunderstanding in a crazy time but they refused to return my clothes - stating that they were now "store property." The attitude and refusal to see how this unique situation came to be was off-putting. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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

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! read more

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!! read more

Very friendly, helpful staff. Fair prices and especially good sale prices. Impeccable organization makes finding your size and style easy. Quality ladies clothing and a huge selection of accessories! 5 stars from this consignment store junkie! read more
