Drop off your items during the drop off hours as shown on the Sale Schedule. We have a very streamlined process and it will take less than 20-30 minutes. Upon arrival, you will be directed to a check-in table where all items will be inspected. We have 2 Drop-off stations: 1) Downstairs: Clothing, shoes, toys, games, books, nursery items etc. 2) Upstairs around back of store: Large Item Drop-off (for large items like furniture, train tables, high chairs, car seats, strollers etc).
**You should first come downstairs to get in line for the clothing/ item inspection. It is at this point that you will sign in and receive your consignor & guest passes etc.
Explain Pick Up procedure.
To pick up your unsold items and check for items sold, please check the Sale Schedule for pick up day and time. If your items are not picked up during these hours, they will be donated and your check will be available for pickup in the Shoppes Boutique during their normal business hours. Checks will NOT be mailed unless you provided a SASE.

Important change affecting the Women's Sale Only!
Due to minimal volunteer staffing with this sale, we will not be able to sort unsold items by consignor number for the Women's Sale. At unsold item & check pickup day, you will pickup your unsold items from the sales floor. After collecting your items you will check out with with one of the staff members before leaving. All items not picked up will be donated to local churchs and charities. Thank you for your continued support for this Sale.
Ideas to help locate your items easier: You may want to use similar color hangers or tab each hanger with colored tape or use a different "light colored" card stock for tagging or wrap a colored ribbon around each hanger etc. Any questions please call 334.270.1456.
