RECEIVING PROCEDURES: Every Consignor will be given a Priority Shopping Number. The Priority Shopping Number determines when the Consignor may enter on Consignor Shop NIght. Consignors that desire to begin shopping early (5:00pm or 5:30pm) on Consignor Shop Night should come out on the scheduled night to complete Consignor Agreements and make appointments for bringing their items in. All other Consignors will receive their Priority Shopping Number when they come in to consign. You may call for an appointment if you do not want an early Priority Shopping Number. Please arrive at appointed time and be prepared to wait while TAG: Everything must have a correct tab. See example of tag shown. No altered tags! Use a new 3x5 index card turned vertically with a line drawn across at the half way point. Leaving one inch at the top for the safety pin, write your consignor # in the top left corner and the garment size in the top right corner above and below the line. Clothing must always have a number size (estimate size if item is not marked). Repeat this process under the line and across the bottom of the card write a brief description of the garment using brand & color. The middle of the card should have the price in large print above & below the line. Place a “D” above the line & below the Consignor number if you would like to donate the item if it doesn’t sell. Use a safety pin (horizontal) to pin the tag on the right side of the garment & hang according to the diagram. PLEASE WRITE LEGIBLY. **Consider placing a piece of masking tape with your consignor number
Appointments will last about 30 minutes depending on the number of items being consigned. At your appointment we will carefully go through each item to insure it is acceptable according to the consignment instructions.
