Consignor FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions – Teen & Adult Sale
💵 Why is there a $20 registration fee?
The registration fee helps cover necessary costs such as venue rental, advertising, insurance, display racks, tables, supplies, and other sales expenses.
💳 How do I sign up for Direct Deposit?
If you're a registered consignor, email Lisa at info@saleforkids.com to set up Direct Deposit. This can be completed via email, but you will need access to your email during the process.
🏷️ Can I tag my items any other way besides online?
No. All items must be entered into the online inventory system and tagged using our system-generated barcode tags. This ensures the sale runs efficiently and accurately.
🔄 Can I use barcode tags from another consignment sale?
No. We do not accept tags from other sales. Our inventory system only recognizes our unique tags.
📊 Can I track my sales live during the event?
No. Our program does not support real-time tracking. However, your Sold Inventory Report will be available online once settlement checks have been issued.
💰 When will I receive my payment?
Profit payments are issued 14–21 days after the sale ends.
🛒 Do I need to be at the sale to sell my items?
No. You do not need to be present to participate as a consignor. However, working a shift as a Team Member can increase your profit percentage.
👥 Do I have to become a Team Member to consign?
No, it is not required—but it is encouraged! Team Members can earn up to 80% profit and gain valuable insight into pricing, display, and what sells best. A minimum 3-hour shift is requested.
🪑 Do I need to provide my tables or racks?
No. We provide all equipment, including tables and clothing racks. Items are displayed in clearly marked departments (e.g., all size 2 T boys' clothing in one area).
🧷 Where can I get wire hangers, safety pins, and tags?
- Wire hangers: Ask local dry cleaners or friends/family who wear work uniforms. You can also contact Westmoreland Sale for Kids—we collect hangers year-round.
- Safety pins are available in sewing sections at Walmart and JoAnn Fabrics or in bulk online.
- Card stock for tags: Use white, 65–67 lb. weight cardstock. Available at Walmart, OfficeMax, and online.
🧾 Can I get a donation receipt for my unsold items?
Unfortunately, we cannot issue official donation receipts because donations are distributed to multiple charities.
If you need a receipt, you are welcome to pick up your unsold items on Sunday from 7 to 8 PM and make the donation yourself.
