July 14
June 1st — Busy Mom service will open
July 7th — Last day to register for the Busy Mom service.
IMPORTANT:
The Busy Mom tagging service operates off of a waiting list. All REGISTERED Busy Mom Consignors are placed onto the waiting list. When you are ready for a tagger to pick up your items, you will be taken off of the waiting list and assigned a tagger. Busy mom consignors will be taken in the order of when they are ready for a pick up.
We make no guarantees that you will receive a tagger. If you are not ready for a tagger in a timely manner, you risk the possibility of us not having a tagger available for you.
The Busy Mom tagging service only has space for a limited number of consignors. Once our taggers are full with clients, we will not be taking any more consignors off of the waiting list. We recommend having your items ready for a tagger to pick up as quickly as possible to ensure that you receive a tagger.
The last day for a pick up will be on July 14th. NO PICK UPS will happen AFTER the deadline. This deadline is for BOTH events.
Space is limited.
Things to know about the Busy Mom tagging service.
- The material fee is $25 per event. Due to rising gas prices and the cost of supplies going up, we had to increase the material fee. (Please note: The $25 covers your first 250 items. There will be a 10 cent material fee charged for each additional tagged item over the first 250 items.) If you want to consign at both events, the material fee would be $25 for the children;s and $25 for the teen/adult.
- Your tagger will only do ONE pick up of your items. If you have enough items to warrant a second pick up, you will be charged 50 cents per mile (round trip) your tagger has to travel to pick up your items. The mileage fee will be deducted from your check.
- You will NOT be given a tagger UNTIL you are ready for a pick up. If you tell us you are ready for a pick up, you MUST have a pick up scheduled with your tagger within 3 days. If you delay your pick up with your tagger, you will go back onto the waiting list. We operate off of a waiting list. Consignors are assigned a tagger in the order they are ready for a pick up. Our tagging service does have limited space. Taking a long time to be ready for a pick up, could put you at risk of not getting a tagger for the event.
- If you are consigning at the Teen/Adult event, you MUST sell more than just clothing. Clothing can not make up more than 50% of your items. (Example: If you have a total of 100 items to sell then only 50 of those items can be clothing.) A consignor who only sells adult clothing tends not to do as well as consignors who sell in multiple categories. Your tagger puts a lot of effort into tagging your items and they want you to be successful.
- You need to make sure your items are in good clean condition. Do not just give us items and expect your tagger to go through it and discard stained clothing or broken items. There WILL BE a $20 fee if you give your tagger more than 20 stained, broken, dirty items.
