Consignor Drop-Off
As this is our first kid's consignment event, I'm sure there will some hiccups and growing pains with check-in/drop-off.. We will work hard to improve on this procedure at each of our following event to make it as streamlined and efficient as possible. By reading the information below and understanding how the process works, you should have a better understanding of what to expect when you reach the venue.
What to bring:
- Print out your Inventory Sheet
- No need to print or sign your consignor agreement- you will sign a Drop-Off form on site. (READ it first though)
- Please have clothes sorted by size and gender category. IE . . .Girls Bottoms size 2T together, Boys Pajamas size 6 together this is a little tweak/suggestion that will make putting your items out lots easier for you! It speeds your drop off process at the venue if you separate them that way ahead of time. You may band sizes together (or put a bag over the hanger groups) to make it easier for you at drop-off but please remove them before delivering your items to the size rack. This small step helps expedite the process.
- Please have electronics, swim wear and coats/outerwear and costumes sorted separately.
- Everyone needs to make a scheduled appointment. Please note appointments are on a first come first serve basis. Once all appointments have been taken we will be unable to add additional times. If you arrive more than 15 minutes before or after your scheduled appointment time, we will be able to serve you at check-in; however your wait time WILL be longer.
DROP Off is the Exhibition Hall:
- Price & Tag your stuff at home. Brutally inspect it for stains and wear!
- Load up your car. Separate your clothes by gender, size and category (tops, bottoms, outfits, other). Separate toys & other items by category (basically you will place like items with like item on the floor, so it helps to group them that way in your car)
- Arrive at your appointment time at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds Exhibition Hall.
- If all goes to plan we will unload 6-8 cars at a time.
- Hop back in and be ready for the line of cars to move! Now, park your car and return inside to put out your items.
- Return inside through the SIDE entrance. Check in at the desk.
- We will have staff there to verify what you are dropping off so there are no surprises for us or you!
- Sign your drop-off form and then place all of your CLOTHING and NON-CLOTHING items in their designated spots. There will be a map to help. The “placing” part should take you less than 30 minutes.
- Note: If you don’t put it out/set it up, we won’t sell it! It will be DONATED to charity.
- Please be sure that you distribute the appropriate items to the Outerwear, Swimwear, and Costume/Dress-Up sections of the sale:
- Hang your clothes on a rack by size and gender category. Super important: this is the time to re-inspect them for stains and quality! You will be fined $1 from your proceeds for any item that we pull from the rack, and fines double if you have more than 5, but if you find it yourself, you can just take it on home! And yes, sure, you can skip this step if you know you checked your items well at home already . . . (but you are risking big fines if we find stuff after you leave, the lighting is different here and it magnifies stains you might not have seen at home.) Now, quickly place them by size where instructed and you are nearly done. Now just place the “stuff” (and if the stuff includes, puzzles, games and battery operated anything please make sure all the pieces are there!! Avoid the fines!)
- Return your map and head on back to your car. See you for shopping!
