Yes, clothing items must be hung on hangers. We recommend holding on to all the hangers you get when you shop with us to use the next time you consign.

13. Where can I find supplies for tagging?

Most consignors source their supplies from Amazon, Walmart, or other local retailers. We do offer the ability to order supplies through us as often as we are able to. Join our Consignor Community on facebook to find out about those each sale: jbfhs.com/ccfb. 

14. Can anyone do the tagging for me?
Yes, we offer a Valet Tagging service! Pro taggers will pick up your items, prep and tag, and drop off for you. You can find all the details here: jbfhs.com/valet. 

15. Can I bring my kids with me to shop?
Yes, children are welcome at our sales. During our presale shopping, we have the most items on the floor and usually the most people in the building. Please keep close eyes on your children. We are selling other people’s items and want to be respectful at all times. Please also ensure they do not climb in or pull on the clothing racks.

16. Do I need to bring anything with me?
Please bring the QR code your received when you got your online tickets because we will scan it at the door. You can bring wagons to shop with!

17. Are fitting rooms available?
We do not have fitting rooms.

18. What happens if I change my mind after buying?
All sales are final—no returns or exchanges. If you buy something that doesn’t fit or you change your mind, we invite you to sell it with us at the next sale!

19. How can I work at JBF?
Please visit jbfhs.com/team or contact Becki at 281.705.9058. Our team is paid per hour, and they get to choose their own shifts. We’d love to have you join us in making this event possible for the community! It requires a lot of hands, but we have a great time all week long.

20. What do team members do?
Tasks can include setting up, cleaning up the sales floor, organizing racks, assisting shoppers, sorting after the sale is over, or helping with breakdown at the end of the sale.

21. How do team members get paid?
When the sale is over, we process all team hours and send an e-check, just like we do with our consignor checks.

22. What happens to unsold items?
Consignors can choose to pick them up or donate them to our local charity partner, Forgotten Angels. We also have a Bargains & Blessings shopping time when people can fill-a-bag with donated items, and that money goes to Gracewood.

23. When do consignors get paid?
Checks are sent within 2 weeks after the sale.

24. What if I am missing an item or an item was damaged?
We understand how frustrating this can be! Because of the nature of how JBF works, we have the potential for this happening, though it is never more than .2% of the total number of items we sell (upwards of 45,000 items!!). At pickup, we have a form you can fill out to let us know about these items. We collect missorted items and work to get those back to the correct home. Please know we care about your items and always are working to make JBF the best place to sell, by increasing amount of team, team training, processes, and more.
