HOW DROP-OFF WORKS:
1) When you arrive for your appointment, check-in at our Consignor Check-In station, inside the front door.
- You will sign-in, you will receive your PreSale passes for Wed/Fri presales. DO NOT lose these passes. NO replacements are given. **You will receive Presale Passes when you drop off your items!
- If you do NOT drop off items, you will not receive Presale Passes
- You may then begin bringing items in. We have a limited number of rolling racks and carts. You are welcome to bring a dolly, wagon, etc.
- If you drop-off without an appointment, you will be considered a walk-in. You can drop off ANYTIME during drop off hours as a Walk-In. Your items will be inspected by the next available Inspector, around scheduled appointments.
2) Inspection:
PLEASE organize clothing/shoes by size & gender PRIOR to Drop-OFF! Other sections like toys, baby supplies, etc need to be grouped together for easy drop off!!
- ALL TAGGING MUST BE COMPLETE PRIOR TO ARRIVING FOR DROP OFF! We do not have the space to accommodate tagging.
- Check-in with the Inspector at an open Inspection Station.
- Your Inspector will check CLOTHING items your bring in. Once inspected, YOU will place your clothing items on the clothing racks on the sales floor. Any items not meeting our guidelines will be returned to you or donated.
- As your Inspector checks clothing, YOU will take your other items: shoes, baby supplies, toys, games, books, etc to THOSE AREAS and placed in the labeled bins at the END of that section. They will NOT be inspected at an Inspection Table. Instead, the Inspector in each section will check your items as they are put away. Any item that does NOT pass inspection will be pulled and returned to you at pick up. PLEASE do not enter into any roped off sections of sales floor. For accuracy, PLEASE do not allow children to place items on sales floor or on clothing rack.
- Any item tagged incorrectly can be corrected at our Retag Station.
Your items will be inspected for:
- stains, spots, tears, excessive wear, odor/pet hair, missing buttons, zippers, recalled items, etc.
- Proper tag placement and tag securely attached.
- We reserve the right to pull additional items during the sale week.
- Items we cannot inspect, such as bagged items, boxed toys, games/puzzles, DVDs/video games or electronics that plug in, must include all pieces, be in working order and not stained/defective
2) Next Stop: Large Items Tagging Station
If you have Large items, such as outside climbers, baby swings, large toys, etc, they will receive a large item tag, in addition to your consignor tag. At the Large Item Tagging Station, a Team Member will assist you in filling out this tag and securing it to each item. BE PREPARED TO FILL OUT THE TAG(S) FOR YOUR LARGE ITEMS.
Please bring any necessary tools to assemble items.
WHEN ALL YOUR ITEMS ARE CHECKED-IN, YOU ARE FREE TO GO!
