Dropping Off | Boutique For A Week

Dropping Off

Drop Off is Sunday, March 18th and Monday, March 19th.

Drop off begins on Sunday, March 18th, from 4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m.  It continues Monday, March 19th from 12:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m.  

You DO need an appointment to Drop Off.

  • Schedule your Drop Off appointment HERE!
  • Please note that the beginning and end of the drop off time tends to be the busiest time.
  • If you are volunteering during Drop Off, please arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of your shift to put out your items.  We cannot count your own drop off as volunteer hours.

What to do in advance to prepare for a pleasant, efficient Drop Off experience:

  • Make and keep your Drop Off appointment.
  • Make certain you have pre-registered online and have received e-mail confirmation. If you lose your email confirmation, bring your ID and consignor code to the sale to shop early.
  • Be certain that items have been properly hung and tagged.
  • Be certain that tags and pieces are secure and cable ties cannot be unzipped.
  • Be certain that tag information is accurate and complete.

For Efficient Drop Off:

  • Group all clothing items by gender and size. Also, hanging items display best when pants are hung on the bottom rack and shirts are hung on the top rack, so separate your items. Place a rubber band around the hangers of each group. Layer rubber-banded groups in boxes, keeping girls and boys separate.
  • Hint: 24 months and 2T items will be hung on the same rack.
  • Pre-sort like items into boxes or grocery bags, for example one for hats, one for books, etc.
  • Bring 2-3 cardboard boxes to help with sorting at the end of the sale.
  • Pack a supply kit with pens, packing tape, cable ties and safety pins, just in case you arrive and find a tag has wiggled loose! (We cannot give you a tag with your code on it!)

Drop Off procedure:

When you arrive you will:

  • Park car and unload all items. We suggest wheeling your clothing items in on a stroller, cart, or wagon.
  • Check-in. Turn in your registration confirmation page here and verify all your consignor information with the available printouts.
  • Hang clothing items on available rack in waiting area.
  • Bring non-clothing items onto the sales floor while clothing is being double checked.
  • Place all items in designated places on sales floor. Racks, bins and shelves are clearly labeled, and there are volunteers available to direct you. This part goes much more smoothly if you have pre-sorted items as recommended above!
  • Assemble cribs, pack ‘n’ plays, and swings.
  • Return to your clothing and retrieve accepted clothing items to place on the sales floor.
  • Once all your items are in the proper spots and assembled, we ask that you exit quickly to keep traffic flowing smoothly! We realize that it is VERY tempting to browse, but please refrain and join us at your earliest possible shopping convenience!
  • There will still be volunteer slots available (see check-in personnel), should you decide that you just have to get back early once you see all the goodies!
