Frequently Asked
Questions by Consignors
Do I
need to register for each
sale?
You
only need to register once. Your consignor number will
stay the same for every sale.
Do
first time consignors need to
make an appointment to bring in their items?
No.
We no longer require first time consignors to make an appointment
for receiving.
How
long does receiving take?
That
depends on how many consignors there are at receiving and
how many items are being brought in. When it is very busy it can take
anywhere form 30-45 minutes. The busiest times are just as we open
and late evening hours. We try to get everyone out as quickly as
possible.
How
many items can I consign?
The
minimum number of items to bring in for consignment is 10
items. We do not have a maximum.
Where
can I get hangers?
I
have always had great luck at Potomac Mills Mall (especially
OshKosh). There are several stores there that just throw their
hangers away and will gladly give you a bag full. Ebay, Freecycle,
Craigslist, Walmart and also dollar stores are other great places to
look.
Where
do I buy stock paper?
You
can purchase stock paper and or cover paper from any store that carries
office supplies such as Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, etc. The
paper can be any color where the print is still easily seen. It must be
65 lbs. or more.
Where
do I buy a tagging gun or can I use safety pins?
We
have available for purchase on our website. Please
visit our
consignors page for more information. You do NOT have to use a tagging
gun. Large safety pins can also be used to attach your tags.
Do I
get my hangers back after the
sale?
There
is no way we could
keep all the hangers separated by consignors but consignors are
welcome to take hangers home when they come to pick up any unsold
items.
Do I
need to have the clothes up on
hangers when dropping them off or do I need to just provide hangers
for you to put them?
All
clothing has to be hung on the hangers and tagged.
I
don't want my items reduced at
the 50% off sale. What do I do?
When
you begin entering items
into our Tagging Program you will see that you can indicate for each
items if you would like it reduced at the 50% off sale or leave it at
full price. The program puts a circle around the price and that
indicates it is not reduced.
How
do I attach tags to toys, books
and shoes?
Tags
can be
attached with clear packing tape except on books and cardboard boxes
please use masking tape or painters tape. For shoes you can attach
the tag with string or tape. DO NOT TAPE OVER THE BARCODE!!!!
What is the
Dollar Dash?
The Dollar Dash is our last
sale day. This is when we sell of any items that were not
picked up by consignors. Each item is only $1.
How
does pick up work?
The
way pick up works is that consignors will have to look through the
racks to pick out their items. The plan is to have an inventory
sheet printed for consignors that indicates what items have not sold.
That way it should be easy to know exactly where to find your items.
What
if I am missing an item? Does Classy Kids
Consignment pay me for that item? Unfortunately
items do walk off the sales floor. That is why we have so many
volunteers to help keep an eye on things and why we don't allow
strollers with baskets. Classy Kids is not liable for any missing
items. We can only pay consignors for the items that sold.
When
will my check be mailed?
All
consignors checks are mailed three weeks after our last sale day.
What
happens to the items that are
not picked up by consignors?
Those
items become the property of Classy Kids Consignment and are sold at
the Dollar Dash sale.
