A: The better the condition, the faster that your uniforms are likely to be sold. Our rating system includes the

following categories: New, Excellent, Very Good, and Good. We will not consign uniforms that do not meet our

quality standards.

Q: How do I know what condition my uniforms are in?

A: Uniforms are rated using the following sales criteria:

New – Uniform item is flawless. Item is still in package or has original tags attached. Item has no marks,

damage, holes or wear.

Excellent – Item is not in package or does not have tags but is flawless or has very minor flaws that are not

easily identifiable even under very close scrutiny. Item could be used as an inspection uniform item. Item has

no marks, damage, holes, or wear.

Very Good – Item has minor flaws that can not be easily seen. Item has no marks, only very minor damage, no

holes, visible marks, or visible wear in exposed areas that might be seen during close scrutiny.

Good – Item has minor flaws that can be seen but are passable for day-to-day use (not inspection ready).

Very minor holes in areas that are normally covered up (i.e. collar device areas). Item has marks that can be

easily overlooked and are not obvious to the casual observer. Item has no visible wear-marks in exposed areas

that might be seen by the casual observer.

Q: What if I’m not sure if my uniform meets New Uniformity’s high quality standards for

consignment?

A: You can take a digital picture of the item in question and email it to us for evaluation. You can also send it to

New Uniformity as a consignment and it will be sold if possible. If your item cannot be sold, we will donate it on

your behalf to the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps program.

Q: What if my merchandise doesn’t sell?

A: New Uniformity will display or list (as appropriate) consigned items for a maximum of 12 months, unless the

item is retired and no longer used by the Department of Defense. After an item has been listed for six months, it

will be reduced in price by 25%. If the items have not sold in the allotted 12 months or by the date of

retirement, the item will be donated to the NJROTC program on the consigner’s behalf.

Q: When will I receive my money for items I have sold?

A: On the 15th of the month following the sale of items and the collection of funds, checks will be generated for

consigners that have a credit in their account.
