Attention Consigners for CD&S - Click here!

Hi 2009 North Shore Consignors, You are going to love the space - open, airy, clean, easy parking, easy to find, and plenty of sq footage, it's a huge 2 floor, 9,000 square foot wedding reception facility. It's awesome, we are excited for us and for you! Here are some notes for you to consider: 1) If you want to make your DROP easy and fast - make sure all your items are within the limits of the goods we accept. If we flip through your stuff and items do NOT meet our standards (as clearly explained on the CD&S web site) we will ask you to stay and take home the extra items. If you do want to drop and leave w/out waiting, then you are agreeing to let us us donate items we deem unacceptable. In the past, we neatly put aside your goods and held them for you during the event until you came back and picked them up - we even called you to say that we will not put it on the floor to sell, sorry - we can't do that anymore. It's bad feng shui for the event workers & the energy of the room. 2) Also, from here on in we are 100% adamant about NO WIRE HANGERS! Thank you for understanding. 3) I am sure you have heard the scuttlebutt of the new law regarding children's toys, goods & resale of recalled items. We ask that you do three things, 2 before you come to the event and one when you drop off your goods: A) Before you come to the event: please visit and review this web site to compare your items for consignment against the items that have been recalled: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/category/child.html B) Before you come to the event, check this website page and see if you are about to consign any of the listed items, if you are - please remove them from your items to be consigned. We will not accept them. http://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/smbus/cpsiasbguide.html C) When you DROP off your items, we will ask you to sign a release that states you are not consigning anything that has been recalled and/or contains lead or harmful plastics. Before the SHOP opens, we will review the items on the floor again, if we find items that are recalled or that pose a threat, we will remove them. The CD&S team wants everyone to be safe and we will be very strict with these guidelines, FYI. 4) Consigners should be mindful pricing. After a survey we posted with 2000 people in our database, we received many comments about the items being too pricy at the last event. If you want your items to sell, price them competitively. Pricing too high is not good for you, or for the items you wish to sell. Please keep this in mind when you price. If you have already priced and tagged items. Log back in, change the price online and then make a note on the tag itself, you don't have to re-print the tag. 5) Help spread the word - if you would like to post a flyer, please download it from our web site. Spread the word on your facebook page, email your friends. The more people know about the event, the better the sales will be and the better chance of you selling your items. We are all in this together, do your part by spreading the word! 6) Consider becoming a customer of a CD&S sponsor. If you have not already, please review our sponsors - there are many reasons we have affiliated ourselves with these services and stores - not only do they share our passion for you, the earth and the community - they are owned, operated and managed by really good people in business to serve you. They are friends to the CD&S team.
