drop-off procedure
The average length of time for the drop-off process is 45 minutes, depending on how many clothing items you have and how many other consignors are there at the same time. You must have your items on the floor by 2pm Friday of sale week or you will not be allowed to submit your items - no exceptions.
When you arrive at drop-off you will need to check in with a staff member at the entrance. Once you’ve checked in, you will receive a "checked-in" sticker to verify that you have completed this necessary step.
Next, you will need to get in line to have your clothing items inspected. Clothing inspectors will be checking for correctly pinned and hung clothing and tags tags, hangers facing to left (no clip hangers), seasonally-appropriate items, the absence of stains, holes, missing buttons, and broken zippers. While your clothes are being inspected, you will place toys and general merchandise on the sales floor.
Next, if you have shoes, take those to shoe inspection.
If you have large items, proceed to the toys & general merchandise area and complete a "large item claim ticket" for each large item you have (size of bouncy seats and larger). Staple your bar-coded tag to the claim ticket and place the item(s) in the appropriate location on the sales floor.
If you are selling a car seat (or stroller combo w/ car seat) you must complete a "large item claim ticket" (these will be waiting for you AT the sale) and a car seat checklist/waiver form. All car seats/combos will be inspected and put on the sales floor by sale staff.
Before you leave, you will need to pick up any clothing items that we were unable to accept at the “no thank you” table. Any items that aren’t picked up will be donated at the end of the sale.
As you leave the gym, stop at the pre-sale pass table near near the Exit door.
pick-up procedure and donation
Items that do not sell during the sale are either donated (to our chosen charities) or can be picked up by the consignor. This is determined by the consignor when tagging items. We encourage consignors to donate as much as possible.
If you know you will be out of town or unable to pick up your items, please select "donate" on your bar-code tags. It saves us hours of sorting if we can pull out all the donate items after the sale. You may have a friend pick up for you, but we are not responsible if they do not retrieve all of your items.
Items not picked up during the designated consignor pick-up time will be donated (no exceptions) to Crisis Nursery, Salt & Light Ministries and other local charities as needed.
NOTE ABOUT PICK-UP:
Please print out your sold inventory list at home BEFORE you come to Consignor Pick-up and bring it with you. If you are unable to locate an unsold item at Consignor pick-up, we will do our best to assist you in locating it. Please note, per your consignor agreement, One Week Boutique is not responsible for any lost or stolen merchandise.
Note about Donation:
If you have additional items from home for charity donation, please make alternate arrangements to deliver those items directly to the charity. Do not bring them to the sale. Charities do not have transportation for items other than what was originally in our sale. Charities also cannot accept any recalled children's items. To check the recall list, please visit cpsc.gov.
payment
You will receive payment for your sold items within 1 week of the close of the sale.
