Dropping
Off Your Items at the Sale
There
is a deadline for item entry. Please have all items entered into your
inventory before the system goes offline (the night before Drop Off
begins). You may print tags after this deadline, but you will not
be able to enter more items or change any of your tags.
Please
schedule your drop off appointment online. Click on the appt
link under your sale location above to choose one of the available
time slots (must log in). You may also do this directly on your Consignor
Homepage.
If you miss your appointment, you can still come anytime,
just be aware that we'll help those with appointments first. We try
to help those who miss their scheduled time by sending out an email
listing the times when the schedule is not full, so you'd know when
there won't be a line.
We
do allow Drop & Runs for anyone who doesn't want
to wait to see what is accepted or rejected. The only requirements
are that you must have ALL of your tags marked to donate and wait
while we inspect your large items (in case we can't accept something,
that way you can take it home). We'll inspect the rest as we have
time and you are free to leave. Anything not accepted will be donated
directly.
If
you need to make more than 1 trip, please choose the
time when you will drop off your first and biggest load. If you need
to bring more items on another trip do not schedule another appointment.
Just come when you can and we will help you as soon as we can. Try
to coordinate the second trip to bring only 10-15 items and you should
be in and out pretty quickly.
Drop
Off Instructions
-
Please
have your clothing items sorted by gender and size. Rubber
band sizes together at the top of the hangers. All hangers must
face left. This speeds things up for everyone.
-
Double
check all tags for accuracy. Every item must have
a tag with a clearly printed bar code and unique item number.
-
Don't
be in a hurry. Unless you want to drop & go. Allow
30 minutes to complete the drop off process. If you have over
200 items or need to assemble anything, it may take a little longer
so plan accordingly.
-
Plan
to assemble furniture or bring it put together. Items
sell better if shoppers can see how it is used. It also ensures
(you and them) that all pieces are included.
-
Optional:
Bring your things in a cardboard box that you can leave
with us. We always need boxes to sort items into at the end
of the sale for those who plan to pick up. Do not write your
number on the box as you probably won't get the same one back
(it'll be a smaller one!).
-
If
some of your items are not accepted but could be fixed,
you will be told why and given an opportunity to rehang clothes,
clean toys or equipment, print new tags, install batteries,
etc. and may choose to take things home to fix and bring back
later.
-
Please
do not be offended if some of your items are rejected.
We will give you a reason and you can take them home or choose
to donate. If you leave before we inspect your items (Drop &
Run), you accept the risk that some of your items may not be
accepted to the sale and would be immediately donated.
-
If
you cannot make it to drop off, ask a friend to drop
your stuff off for you. Get a trusted friend to sign up to consign
and ask her to drop your stuff off with hers. Offer to pick up
for her at the end! Several moms have worked this out with great
success, sometimes watching each other's kids in trade as well!
Be resourceful!
- Follow
the signs to see where to go for check in. We have a new
process this time where we will meet you at the curb and help you
unload your items which will go straight to an inspector. Once your
car is empty, you will park and come inside to the check-in table
to sign in and make sure you receive your Presale pass. Then go
back and see if any of your items were not accepted and take those
home with you. We feel this will really speed things up for consignors!
Hillsboro
— RELOAD Drop Off
(NO clothes, shoes, bedding)
Thursday, March
15, 5–9pm
The
Hillsboro Sale accepts additional items to the sale on Thursday evening.
Bring toys, furniture, large and small equipment, and anything else
you have. We'd love to add new items to the floor except clothes,
shoes, or bedding. We just don't have room for more of those. Items
can be already in the system but don't have to be. We will have computer
stations available for printing tags and entering new items if needed.
Late items will be held in the check in area and put out after we
close so Friday morning shoppers will get first crack at the new items.
Email
me with
questions not answered here or special requests. We will attempt to
accommodate what we can. Thanks.
