Preparation of Items
Clothing
-
-
-
All clothing must be hung on hangers.
Please hang items on hangers as seen below. Orient the hanger this way so presentation
on the racks is consistent.
Attach your tag on the item using a safety pin to the right hand side of the garment
(please refer to picture).
If you are hanging an outfit that has two or more pieces, hang the shirt(s) on shirt
hangers and the pants/bottoms on pant hangers separately and then use a rubber band
to attach the hangers together. Outfits should have one price for all items attached
together. The tag should be placed on the first item.
The description on your tag should indicate how many items are included in this outfit
(for example: 2pc outfit, or 3pc outfit)
Consider grouping 2-3 items together on hangers, especially baby clothing, such as
onesies, pajamas and children’s t-shirts.
Onesies also sell well grouped together inside a Ziploc bag. We find that rolling them so
that the top chest area of each onesie is showing works best.
Smaller items, such as socks, should be placed inside a Ziploc bag. Tape the tag to the
Ziploc bag or place it inside and make it visible.
Children’s Shoes
-
We recommend using Ziploc bags for infant shoes.
If shoes are too big for Ziploc bags, we recommend tying the shoes together using
heavy duty string, ribbon or zip-ties.
Punch a single hole through the top of your tag and then thread the string, ribbon or ziptie through it.
Tags are often lost from shoes, so please make sure they are securely attached.
Toys, Games & Puzzles
-
All toys, games, and puzzles must be in working order and include all pieces.
All battery operated toys must have working batteries.
If a toy has many pieces, you should secure them all in a Ziploc bag, use packaging tape
or a clear plastic container to keep the pieces together.
Make sure your tag is visible and securely fastened to all toys. Little hands may try to
“play” with these items.
Larger Items
-
Other items including furniture and larger outdoor items should have tags securely
attached. Use tape on items if safety pins will not work.
Please remember that these tags must be removed by the cashiers.
