Drop and Dash

• Bring your items in during store hours. Call prior to bringing in large items such as furniture, car seats, swings or large play toys as this is space dependent.
• Please, Please!! limit the amount of clothes you bring in at one time. This is the most important requirement as it allows us not to place additional limits on days or hours we receive items. For clothing you may bring in one Paper grocery bag amount in at a time and not more than once a week, unless we have a temporary stop. All other items are unlimited (within reason -call ahead if in question).
• Mark your bag with your name and phone number. If you wish for unsold items to be returned after 90 days be sure to specifically make the request at each drop off.  Otherwise after 90 days unsold clothing become non-consignment,are discounted 50% or donated to our charity organizations.

The month received and the 2nd month clothing is sold at full price. The 3rd month is at 30% mark-down, 4th month it becomes non consignment and is marked down 50% or donated. At time of drop off you may request specific unsold items to be returned to you. You will be notified to pick up these items after 90 days.

Gear, formal wear and other items are reduced up to 40% over 6 months. Furniture and higher priced items are discounted at pre-arranged terms.

Unsold toys, books and small gear items will be donated after 6 months unless you specifically request them to be returned at time of drop off.

Lost items and other mistakes:
Mistakes are inevitable. The most common is a lost clothing tag (usually pulled off by kids).When an item is brought to the register without a tag, we price the item and sell it. This item can not be tracked to the owner so the proceeds from the sale go into an account which is donated to local children's program we select annually in the form of Gift Certificates. Occasionally an item  gets separated before tagging. We do the same as above. We have made amazingly few errors. It is impart the responsibility of the consignor to track sales by checking your inventory statements.
