IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT YOUR CONSIGNMENT

Hello SUBtext consigners,

Our store is open for in-store purchases and consignments. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we have new safety measures in place, such as one-way aisles, plexiglass barriers, increased cleaning schedules, and staff-served slushies. We are accepting cash, but ask you to please consider paying by debit, Visa, Mastercard, or ONEcard. We have a database of all books in-store (so we can help you find what you need faster). You can call us to place an order for pick-up at (250) 721-8810, or come in to browse our shelves. If you already have items on consignment with us, please remember that we cannot contact you regarding the status of your account, but you can email us at subtext@uvss.ca.

SERVICES

Consignment books, iclickers, model kits, rock cleaning kits:

Prices are set by students who receive 75% of the selling price when their book is purchased. This means that our books & etc.  are usually cheaper than those at the main bookstore, and buying your books/supplies at SUBtext helps out a fellow student!

Low-cost novels, graphic novels / comics, poetry collections, non-fiction, other non-textbook books and party games (also consignment items, so you can feel good about supporting your community while you take a break from school-related readings)

FREE board game rentals:

Leave your ONEcard with us and play for as long as you’d like! Talk to us if you’re looking to rent games outside of our normal store hours or if you want multiple games for clubs-related activities.

On-campus stop for Coke drink products and Monster, Red Bull, and Yerba Mate.

Tonnes of snacks, including an ever-growing amount of dietary-conscious products (and if we don’t have what you’re looking for, ask us and we will try to bring it in!)

Local artwork–jewellery, accessories, prints, cards, mugs, keychains, candles, buttons, stickers, pins, and more! Our selection changes often, so check in-store for current designs and products. Are you an artist? Contact us to sell your artwork at SUBtext!

Everyday necessities:

Tylenol/Advil, Kleenex, lip chap, bike locks, phone chargers and earbuds, Tide-to-Go, drink tumblers, etc.

  5. Get paid and sell more books!

INTERESTED IN SELLING YOUR WORK WITH US?

Come to our store with samples of your artwork, and we will collaborate to work on a fair deal. We might want to buy your artwork (typical for pinback buttons and stickers), or we can arrange a consignment system that allows you to swap out your stock more easily. We can’t wait to see what you make!

SOCIAL ENTERPRISE

DID YOU KNOW?

SUBtext is a not-for-profit, meaning that the money we make goes toward paying student staff or supporting initiatives from advocacy groups. 75% of all consignment sales, books and local art, goes directly to the student selling their books or art.
