How to Prepare Your Items

All consigners need to inventory and tag their own items. To save time, we strongly recommend that you download the consigner materials and prepare your items at home.

There are two options:

1. Use Microsoft Excel to fill out your Consigner Inventory Form. Tags are automatically generated. Save the document and reuse it for future CD&S events.
Download Consigner Inventory Form - Excel
Download Directions - Word

2. Use Microsoft Word to print the Consigner Inventory Form and Tag Sheets. Fill out both documents by hand.
Download Consigner Inventory Form - Word
Download Consigner Tag Sheet - Word
Download Directions - Word

If you don't use Word or Excel, you may e-mail us or come to the Drop. We can provide you with hardcopies of the materials. You will need to fill them out by hand.

Once you have inventoried and tagged all of your items, bring them to the Drop. Don't forget to bring your signed hardcopy of the Inventory form.

Of course, you always have the option of bringing in your items anytime during the Drop hours, filling out the necessary paperwork, and tagging your items at our site.

Consignment Guidelines

1. Items must be in excellent condition. Condition of your clothes is very important. Make sure your clothes are clean, pressed and in excellent condition. Please, no stains, holes, tears or excessive wear and tear. Examine each item as if you were buying it. We will not accept items that do not meet these standards.
2. Hangers required for all clothes. All clothes must be hanging with hangers all facing the same direction (hook pointing RIGHT as you face the garment). Use baby hangers through size 4, adult hangers for size five and up. Hang all pants by the waist with the front showing. Use a pant hanger with clips, or use safety pins to attach the pant to the top sides of the hanger so it doesn't slide off. Using safety pins (not straight pins), pin your tags on the corresponding item from your Inventory form. Use one tag per item. Pin your tags to the LEFT front shoulder of each shirt and the upper LEFT pant leg of each pair of pants. Pants sell best when they are easily seen. Do not fold pants over hangers.
3. Separate boys' clothes from girls'. Group by sex and then by size.
4. ID with tape. On all non-hanging items, attach your tags with tape.
5. Shoes. Tie shoes together with a string or ribbon. Or, bring them in a clear plastic bag. Use masking tape on the sole of EACH shoe and indicate the size and your Consigner number. If tape won't stick to the sole, stick the tape inside the shoe.
6. Clear packaging. Clear packaging is useful to keep things clean and together. If there are multiple pieces to a game or toy, bag them in a clear ziplock bag.
7. Use tape to seal boxes. Board games, puzzles and other boxed items should be sealed with masking tape or blue painters tape (not package tape, which tears the box) with a note on the front indicating that all pieces are included. Write your Consigner number on the tape.
8. Tagging. Using safety pins (not straight pins), pin your tags on the corresponding item from your Inventory form. Use one tag per item. Pin your tags to the RIGHT front shoulder of each shirt and the upper RIGHT pant leg of each pair of pants. Tape your tags to all non-hanging items.

Note: We will need to look over your items to make sure they are clean, in excellent condition and are for the appropriate season. We reserve the right to refuse any items that do not meet our standards. Thank you for your understanding as we strive to maintain the highest quality of consigned items.

If you have any questions about whether your items are fit for our sales event, please email us at info@childrensdropandshop.com.

If you have a large piece of baby or kids furniture that is too bulky to bring in for evaluation, e-mail us a picture. We will let you know if you should bring it in.
