GETTING PREPARED
CLOTHING
Collect all the clothing you are wanting sell. Make sure you meet or exceed the minimum of 25 items minimum.
Clothing must be clean, free of stains, tears, excessive wear or pilling & smell fresh, styles should be current (less than three years old)
A light ironing goes along way to making your item more sellable!
Clothes need to be hung on hangers. When the item is facing you, the hanger should look like a question mark (?), with the open-end facing to the left.
The exception to this rule is Pants, Skirts, Shorts, Infant (0-24m) Onesies (underwear), and Infant (0-24m) Sleepers (Nightwear).
Please close all zippers, buttons, snaps, and ties.
All socks and tights must be securely attached to matching outfit, or grouped with safety pins.(NO BAGS)
Place all items in gender and size order when dropping off.
Safety pin all sets and accessories securely together with pants hung on the back of the shirt at the waist so that they are viewable. Please do not layer your sets.
Do not bag sleepers, onesies and pajamas. If you would like you may pin together at the shoulder and tag as a set. (Please double inspect for stains)
SHOES/FOOTWEAR
Shoes/Boots must be in excellent condition with very little wear inside or out.
Securely tie or clip them together. Zip ties are the best method. Please do not bring them in a box or in a bag (Robeez & Pedipeds are the exception if you have the original packaging, but still attach tag to the shoes).
Boots will be accepted only if seasonally appropriate eg. Rainboots/Spring Sale and Snowboots/Fall Sale.
TOYS/EQUIPMENT/BEDDING
Toys and equipment must be clean! Take a moment to wash them or wipe down with a clorox wipe.
Bedding items need to be attached in one clear bag. If you have a picture of what it looked like set up in a room this helps!
Pin/Tie all loose items to the large pieces.
Toys, puzzles, games and videos must have all pieces and be in good working condition. Loose pieces must be attached in a plastic zip lock bag sealed with packing tape. All batteries must work and be included.
CAUTION! The Consignor is responsible for checking for recalled items. Please check The Canadian Consumer Products Safety Website for any relevant recalls.
Once you have everything together and looking it's best you are ready to start in-putting your tags onto our online tagging system! See our TAGGING page.
