C.) HOW SHOULD MY ITEMS BE PREPARED?
Review the info below to help prepare your items prior to bringing them. Thank you!
1. All items must be LIKE NEW or NEW CURRENT STYLES and completely free of stains and pet hair, and have no rips, excessive wear, tears, or pilling and may not smell like cigarette smoke.
2. All items must be freshly laundered—within the season of being brought in.
3. All children's items must be folded neatly into a laundry basket, or sturdy cardboard box (diaper boxes with cut out “handles” work great) that is LIGHT ENOUGH TO BE EASILY LIFTED ABOVE YOUR HEAD. PLEASE USE MULTIPLE LAUNDRY BASKETS INSTEAD OF ONE HUGE/HEAVY BIN. Special occasion outfits (party dresses, etc.) can be brought in on hangers. PLEASE NO PLASTIC BAGS. This will ensure that your items stay neat and wrinkle free.
4. Please make sure that all buttons are snapped/buttoned and all zippers are zipped.
5. Please remove any yard sale or resale tags. “New from store” tags should remain on items whenever possible.
6. It is helpful if you separate boys’ clothing from girls’ clothing in your bin/box.
7. Please wash removable fabric pieces before bringing in.
8. All items must be SALES FLOOR READY. Toys and other non-clothing items must be clean and in complete working order, with no broken pieces. All pieces and working batteries must be present. All large items need to be assembled by the consignor before you leave to ensure that all parts and pieces are there. Please bring the original box and packaging if you have it as it will help your items to sell more quickly!
All items must meet today's safety standards. No recalled items will be accepted. You can check for item recalls online at www.cpsc.gov.
COMMON QUESTIONS
HOW DO I GET PAID ONCE MY ITEMS SELL?
All items are on consignment, which means that you will receive a portion of the sale once your item(s) sell(s) (approx. 40-50% plus additional discounts if you use your money as store-credit to make purchases!). You can check your account at any time by going to the "Consignor Portal" in the drop menu. You will need to use the same email address to log in that is associated with your account. Please contact the shop if you need to provide your email address or change it. You can choose to use your money in the store as store credit (and receive an additional discount off your total purchase!), or cash/check/Zelle/Venmo/PayPal can be issued anytime! You are welcome to pick up your money any day that the shop is open or send an email or facebook message to the store with your first/last name and current address if you would like a check to be mailed or if you would like payment via Zelle/Venmo/PayPal.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR MY ITEMS TO BE PRICED?
There are two collection periods per year at Wild Child. Spring/Summer Appointments can be scheduled during the months of February/March. Most Spring/Summer clothing items will be priced during the months of April/June. Fall/Winter Appointments can be scheduled during the months of August/September. Most Fall/Winter clothing items will be priced during the months of October-December. Toys/Books/Games/Etc. are priced on an as needed basis, based upon space on the sales floor. Items dropped off outside of these two main collection periods will be priced on an as needed basis. The pricing/displaying process is done by CATEGORY, so you may see some of your items show up on your account, while others may have not been priced yet. Everything is eventually priced/displayed.
DO I HAVE TO PICK UP UNSOLD ITEMS AFTER A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD?
Items stay on your account until they sell, there is no expiration date. Some clothing such as holiday apparel is displayed seasonally. Seasonal items may be held from one season to the next, in which case, they will continue to be tagged under your consignor number when they are placed back on the sales floor. If you are contacted via email to pick up any unsold items or specified items that are not able to be accepted during drop off, please pick up your items within 1 week of being contacted. If you do not wish to pick up items after receiving an email, or do not contact the shop within 1 week of receiving an email, items will become the property of Wild Child Consignment and may be donated to a local children's charity.
I look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership with you and thank you for your business!
