The items shown here are USED, but with plenty of life left.
Lending items can be checked out for $30, which more or less covers shipping in USA. If you are in another country, you are welcome to BUY from the Lending at whatever price is posted for that item, plus the cost of shipping. Buying from the Lending has to be done by phone or email with Alex or Ralph.
The idea of the Library is to let people try one of these items for a week or two, just to check out our stuff or maybe because it's needed for an upcoming trip. But anything in the Lending can be purchased outright, and lately that's about half the time.
The website will charge $30 to cover shipping, and we'll include a pre-paid return shipping label with the garment.
If you decide to buy the item, the cost is the price as shown, but we'll credit the $30 shipping. We'll need to work together directly to arrange purchase, usually that just means an email-invoice.
It's not necessary to pay a deposit on the garment. Please either buy it or return it after a week or two.
The Library has become more popular than we expected. If there are already two names next to an item (meaning someone has it and another person is waiting), please don't place an order. If there is one name next to an item, feel free to place an order to be NEXT in line. Usually, we just let these orders expire, tho. But we'll hold your place for when/if the item is returned. Thanks.
Pieces come into the Library for a variety of reasons ... gain or lose weight, move to a warm climate, etc. If you have something that doesn't suit you anymore, please contact Alex@WeatherWool.com / 862-849-8250.
If you would like one of these items, please telephone us or place an online order with a NOTE telling us exactly which item you want. Please put your note in the box labeled "Add a note to your order". But the NOTE is flaky sometimes, and it won't hurt to also send an email to the addresses below.
Because of potential import duties, taxes and higher shipping costs, the Lending Library as described above is not really applicable outside the USA. But we can usually improvise purchase arrangements on a case-by-case basis for our friends without an American shipping address.
The listing for a garment that is "checked out", will show the order number and date it was sent, plus the first name and last initial of the person who has it. When a garment is returned that information is removed and it becomes available again.
A lot of the garments shown below are listed as New-Used (maybe a result of our Customer Service policies). Usually New-Used means the customer who made the original purchase held the garment for longer than 10 days or so. If a customer hangs onto a garment more than about 10 days before returning, even if it just sits unopened in the box, we count it as Used. Also, sometimes people tell us they returned it after only one day and only wore it to go shopping and to walk the dog one night. If a garment has been taken outdoors, no matter for how short a time, we will not sell it as new, and it will be listed on the Lending Library as New-Used. If someone returns a garment immediately, but it has been soiled somehow, it counts as used.
We try to ship Lending pieces in presentable condition, but we don't spend time on them like we do with new. If we did, we'd have to charge more and the lending would have a different sort of philosophy than now. Similarly, we can't accept requests to notify someone if a particular item becomes available.
If you place an order for an item already "checked out", we'll usually let your order sit and mostly such orders will expire unpaid. But we'll note that you are NEXT and if the item becomes available, we'll get in touch.
Lending items may be shipped in a recycled box, which seems appropriate.
One other thing ... Ralph often ships Lending pieces, but he's terrible at packing. Please don't hold it against him (me!!).
