Second Time Around

I consign at Second Time Around to earn additional income.  Consignors earn 40% of the final sale price and $20 for each referral*.  STA accepts items based on the season and fashion trends, not brand name. My experience as a STA consignor has allowed me to contribute to a socially responsible, eco-friendly business.  Shoppers who purchase pre-owned items at a consignment store save the water, energy, and natural resources that go into the manufacture of brand new items.  Sold items go to new closets, not landfills.  Unsold items go to Goodwill donations.

Postal Service

The U.S. Postal Service has extra optional services to improve logistics.  The USPS Delivery Confirmation number costs an extra $0.19.  As the number is is also called a “Label/Receipt Number,” should the USPS offer refunds when the shipment does not meet delivery expectations?
