What to do in advance
- All tags must have tape on the hole punch corner and a complete description typed into our online system. We will check your tags at the door. If your tags do not have typed complete descriptions, we will change your code to a 55% Drop 'N Go code and replace your tags. Your items will not be permitted without typed tags.
- Use zip-ties when possible. If using a tagging gun, still add tape to the tag corner and attach the tag to the SEAM of the item, not to the main fabric. Use safety pins in the seam only when absolutely necessary.
- Make sure you have your confirmation email and that it says you are Registered for the Boutique Bash in the subject line and should list the correct month in your shopping time.
- Check out our Boutique Brands Chart to ensure you only bring the items we are accepting at this sale.
Are you bringing...
- A car seat? Write the EXPIRATION date of your car seat on the tag front with a red Sharpie
- A diaper bag priced $25 or higher? Attach a Claim Ticket at Drop-off
- A purse or wallet or wristlet priced $25 or higher? Attach a Claim Ticket at Drop-off
- A large item like a crib, high chair, exersaucer, canvas teepee, etc.? Attach a Claim Ticket at Drop-off
- A stroller, wagon, or trike with push handle? Attach a Stroller Tag that says "This Item Is For Sale" at Drop-off
Finish Getting Ready
- If you are bringing a crib, pack 'n play, or other equipment or a teepee, you must assemble them at the sale. Please bring any needed tools.
- Double-check that items have been properly hung and tagged.
- Double-check that tags and pieces are secure.
- Double-check that tag info is accurate and complete.
- Pack an emergency kit with pens, packing tape, cable ties, and safety pins just in case you arrive and find a tag has wiggled loose!
- Bringing a wagon, luggage cart, rolling suitcase, stroller, rolling rack, or dolly will help you transport large quantities of items from your car to the racks and shelves. (Be sure to label it with your name and cell # in case you leave it behind.) We will carefully check all items as you leave.
Drop-off Procedure
- If you have large, bulky toys or infant equipment to unload, pull up to the curb and quickly unload only those items to the curb. Do not block the handicapped ramp while you unload.
- Immediately move your car to a designated mall parking spot. The mall does tow illegally parked cars at drop-off! Do NOT block the fire lane or handicapped ramp.
- At the door, we will check your tags for taped corners, complete typed descriptions, and QR codes. We will also check that you didn't cross out prices and handwrite them.
- Go to Check-in just inside the entrance. If you have all white tags, show your tagged items to get your donation receipt and early shopping pass.
- If you are selling a stroller, attach a Stroller Tag that says "This Item Is For Sale".
- If you are selling a diaper bag, purse, a large item like a crib, high chair, exersaucer, canvas teepee, etc, complete and attach a Claim Ticket at Drop-off. Complete the top portion of a Claim Ticket, plus the consignor # and description on the bottom portion. Be sure to specify your discount as 50% max or 75% max in case the item rolls over to the KE Sale. Then staple all 4 corners of your tag to the Large Item Claim Ticket and attach the Claim Ticket to your large item. All diaper bags, wallets, wristlets, and purses must have a Claim Ticket. Ask about our Specialty Items racks and zip tie your high-end items with Claim Tickets to those racks. See Shopping Tips for details about how Claim Tickets work when the customer wants to purchase the item.
- If you bring a car seat or a separate base, you MUST write the expiration date across the top of the tag with a thick red marker like this: EXP 10/28. You will be charged an additional $10 fee if you bring an expired car seat. We will discard the car seat and not return it. Read here to find your car seat's expiration.
- Place all items in the correct designated places on the sales floor. Racks, bins, and shelves are clearly labeled and there are ceiling signs and KE Crew Members available to direct you.
- Stack large empty, unlabeled boxes in the stockroom. Please do not leave small boxes.
- Once your items are in the proper spots and assembled as required, please exit quickly! No browsing!
- As you exit, our staff will check your bags/luggage/bins as a security measure. We know you, as a consignor, will understand.
*There is a $1 per item fee if we find that you have any items dropped off that are very clearly stained/torn, not on our Boutique Brands Chart for the current event, or if you have multiple items clearly dropped off in the wrong gender/size.
PLEASE keep your children with you at all times! Unsupervised children will be given an espresso and a puppy!
