before you arrive for drop-off1. Please make sure that you have tagged and prepared all of your items according to the "merchandise prep" guidelines. Any items not meeting the guidelines will need to be redone by you. With a few exceptions, clothing should be on hangers. Also, each and every item must have a tag. Please double-check all tags to ensure that each of them includes the correct consignor number and price. Remember, consignors need to have at least 20 items or $50 worth of items to participate in our event.
2. Please sort your hanging clothes by gender and size. You can even group each size category with rubber bands. This will help you to be able to place your items on the sales floor more efficiently.
3. Bring a self-addressed, stamped envelope (letter size - 4 1/8 inches by 9 1/2 inches). Please ensure your envelope has the proper postage so your check will reach you! Please write your consignor number in the bottom left corner of the envelope. We will use this envelope to send your check to you within two weeks after the sale. If you forget your self-addressed, stamped envelope we will have them to purchase for $1.00.
4. (Optional): If you'd like, you can leave a box, tote, plastic bin or some other container with your consignor number on it (either written directly on it or taped to it). No lids please. We will use your container to put your unsold items in at the end of the sale (if any). This is ALL your containers will be used for. We will not allow them to be used on the sales floor or by customers. This will make it easier for you to pick up your items. If you plan to donate all your unsold items, there is no need to leave a container. | For Drop-Off Bring:1. All items you'd like to sell (consign)--clean, serviceable, properly tagged, in season, and sorted by gender & size
2. Self addressed, stamped envelope
3. Optional - Box/Tote/Bin labeled with your consignor number |
drop-off procedureStep 1 - Check-in: When you arrive at drop-off, we will check you in, collect your envelope, have you sign our Consignor Waiver, and give you a Consignor Presale Pass.
Step 2 - Inspection: After check-in we will inspect your clothes, shoes, car seats, and cribs. We will be picky with the items, and some items may be returned to you during inspection. Please do not be offended if not all of your items are accepted. If we miss something during inspection and later find an item that doesn't meet our guidelines on the sales floor, we will remove it and return it to you at pick-up. We want our shoppers to have confidence that they are buying only the best. Remember, everything must be clean and in working order (including working batteries for any item that requires them). Clothes cannot have any holes, tears, stains, missing buttons, broken zippers, and they must be of current fashion. Remember, for the Spring 2009 event, we will be accepting clothing for Spring and Summer. Shoes need to be in great condition and not missing any buckles, laces, etc. Car seats must be less than 5 years old, accident-free, be consigned by the original owner, and must have any recall modifications completed. Please revisit the "merchandise prep" page to see all of our guidelines.
Step 3 - Place Your Items on Sales Floor: After your items are inspected, you will place them on the sales floor in the appropriate location. We will have signs on the racks and tables to indicate where everything should go. This will also be a good opportunity for you to scan the things that the other consignors have brought in, so you will know what sort of things you can snatch up first during the presale!
Consignor Pick-Up:
Any remaining items that are not picked up by 9:00 p.m. will be donated to our charity partner, Coalition of Hope.If you are unable to pick up your unsold items please make arrangements with someone to pick them up for you. We will require written consent if you are sending someone else to pick up your items. We will do our best to have items sorted by consignor number to make the pick-up process go quickly and smoothly. Items not picked up by the end of the pick-up period will be donated to our charity partner. The donation truck will be loaded at this time. We must vacate the building at our scheduled time, and it is not possible for us to take any unsold items home with us. | |
