Need to change your appointment? Please let me know now! It takes time to properly swap appointments for sellers so the more time I have to try to do this for you, the better the opportunity to received the date and time closest to what you need. Please let me know as early as possible since the closer to the sale, the harder to swap out your appointment.

Kidsignments Agreement Reminder Concerning Recalls:
Please note that you will need to sign your Kidsignments agreement at your drop off appointment. If you are selling a car seat, you must confirm it is less than 5 years old, has never been in any accident(you must be able to verify this as the original owner), and have instructions. If you cannot verify this for your carseat, you cannot sell it. You must include instructions. Try checking the manufacturer’s website if you cannot locate your copy). Also, you will need to verify that you have checked the recalls to verify none of your items have been recalled. We continue to pull items that sellers bring that were recalled and we really, really need everyone to do their part to screen these items and do the proper recall steps to keep kids safe -- it is the LAW! We are not accepting items that have been recalled even if the recall has been performed due to the new laws. We know that you want to do all you can to make sure that items in your home are problem free as well as those you are selling to someone else and appreciate your effort in doing this.

 

Recall/Safety information:

Main site to check for recalls: www.cpsc.gov
Car seat recalls: www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/recalls/childseat.cfm

Clothing with drawstrings?

We do not accept clothing with drawstrings around the neck. Please see our email sent to sellers for more information on strings around waste, etc at http://www.kidsignments.com/how-to-check-for-recalls-em.php.

More items than planned or need a new time?
Don't worry! There is no need to change your drop off time due to finding more items. Our appointments have been filled for some time and it is very hard to switch appointment times. If you have emailed me already to request to swap your time, I am still holding several requests until I received a request from another seller to swap for your time. If you do need to switch for some reason, please let me know asap since this does take time due to having to wait for another seller to ask to swap out for your appointment time.

Help! Where do I find more hangers? We suggest asking everyone you know-dry cleaner (pins too), neighbors, family, co-workers, etc! If you know someone that wears a uniform - try asking them for hangers. Infant items can be hung on regular wire hangers. PLEASE do not 'pin' them onto the hanger, but rather place them properly on the hanger so they do not get holes in them.

Do the hangers HAVE to be WIRE? Wire hangers really help at this event. They take up less hanging space and stand up to vigorous shopping! Plastic hangers are accepted but strongly discouraged since they break easily.

Volunteering: Want to shop ahead of the preview? We have had a tremendous amount of requests to help at the upcoming event! Our openings for new helpers is very slim at this point with only a few remaining possible spots. The volunteers at this event work hard, but they enjoy it. They get to shop BEFORE the preview sale AND attend a special half price preview ~ this keeps them coming back : ) We are one really big family here and everyone looks forward to seeing each other at the next event. We have a great group of women and men that help make sure things run smoothly. A way to sure get our attention is to have a husband who will volunteer in your spot for helping my husband unload the racks or load them back up!
