Affordable Designs & Consigns — Local services in Conroe

CONSIGNER BEWARE! In my opinion and in my experience, Affordable Designs & Consigns is Unprofessional and uses Unethical Business Practices. I AGREE with another review for this place that reads: “They will sell your stuff and keep your money!”

I experienced many signs of their fraud and deceitful, unethical business practices including unnecessary rude and petty excuses that would occur often over the next 90 days. Starting on the first day when I asked for a copy of the paperwork; Their rude response was “We can’t do that”. That would be the beginning of their MANY rude excuses including - “We don’t make copies“, ”We can’t get the email to work”, “We don’t know how to do that”, "We don’t mail anything”, “I don’t have to reply to your calls, texts or emails”, “We don’t offer any account balance info”, “We don’t send monthly statements”. Also, I never received any legally binding contract; I never received any account info of my items/inventory, of what was sold, dates sold or even a commencement date since my items were delivered many days later. I actually sent my inventory list of items they received that the owner would not initial or sign! The only accounting “system” that I was privy to was random item numbers with prices on a check stub, which I would need to decipher my sales!

I must share one of my experiences with the owner. When I called to arrange picking up any unsold items, she told me all the items left were expired; the items were hers, and she marked down all the items for whatever she wanted and kept all the money!… The owner actually told me she was asked one day by a buyer if she could do better on my consigned items; the owner told me she waited until the expired date and sold my items! I told her “That’s Called Stealing!”

My AGREEMENT with this place was for 90 days and I would be picking up any items that did not sell. I NEVER agreed that SHE could STEAL from me!

I give this place “ZERO Stars”! ...

Read the fine print of their consignment contract! They will sell your stuff and keep your money!

I was told they sold a $300+ dollar desk for me. Went to pick up a check and was told that since it didn’t sell in the first 60 days, it was theirs money to keep, even though they did sell it!

It’s also worth saying that I was in their shop within the 60-90 day window and they never mentioned me needing to get the furniture that hadn’t sold out of their...

I try to travel to Houston from dallas on a regular basis just to go shopping at ali interiors, I love the bedding always good quality, the furniture, home decor, they even have a baby furniture department with the cuties items, even a kitchen supplies department with a Gama of dishes, pans and utensils, I just love, love this store, is a five stars...
