Are any of your tags altered by hand? You can add things to the tag, you just cannot change price or discount.

Did you use 60-67# weight cover stock paper in white or pastel colors only? Regular printer paper will NOT be accepted!

Is your tag hung in the right location on your item? (at the right shoulder when facing the item)

Is your item hung correctly ? Hanger (if facing it) looks like a question mark.

Do you have your clothing in size and gender order? Some sellers find it helpful to use rubber bands to keep them grouped together by size.  If you arrive with your clothing out of order, you will be asked to step aside and put them in the correct order.  We just don’t have the (wo)man power to be sorting your clothing for you.

Did you put masking tape or a label, with your consignor number only, on all of your items?  This is REQUIRED!

PUT YOUR SELLER NUMBER ON ANY TUBS YOU BRING IN THAT YOU WANT BACK!  We have inherited many storage tubs over the years because we have no way of knowing to whom they belong.

Okay, you’ve got all your items tagged and ready to go. Let’s go to Drop Off!

Each consignor must bring the Consignor Agreement and two print-outs of his/her inventory for inspectors to check items against. The second copy will be for you to keep track of any items that are not accepted. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO CHECK IN WITHOUT AN INVENTORY OF YOUR ITEMS. Please make sure you have marked off any items that you are not consigning. To print your inventory, login to your account, click on “Event Management” at the top of the page. and then click on “Inventory Report.” Click print at the top of the page. You do NOT have to check the boxes. It will print all the items in your inventory. Please make sure you staple your report and put your name and consignor number along the right-hand side(edge).

Before unloading any of your items: please come inside to the Check-in Desk to confirm participation, turn in the HWGA Consignor’s Agreement and show your printed inventory reports.

Unload your merchandise. Bring your clothing and shoes in first before bringing anything else inside. You will hang your clothing on a rack to be inspected. While it is being inspected, you will take your non-clothing items around the back alleyway to be inspected and checked for recalls. Once those items are inspected, please come back to the front, bringing your inventory report with you. At this point you will be asked to put your approved clothing out on the racks in the correct sizes. This is necessary as we anticipate not having enough volunteers for this task.

Once your clothing items are accepted be sure to retrieve any items that did not pass our inspection process. Remember: Any items not picked up will automatically be donated.

Remember: Once you get home please be sure to mark off any items that were declined at drop off from your inventory list. You will not be given credit for those items.

Congratulations! You’re done! We do the rest!
