how it works
​​
Consignors can bring items at consignor appointments, which can be schedule via <http://www.calendar.com/fiddle-and-find/dropoff>. or access available on your consignor portal.
During appointments, items will be reviewed and unaccepted items may be donated or returned. Consignors can shop or run a quick errand to return in the 30 minute window.
​
Scheduled appointments are limited to one 19 gallon size back (Ikea bag or equivalent) per visit. Storage is limited and we are selective in curating a consignment boutique.
​​
Consignors also have the ability to "drop off" 10 items or less without an appointment that will be reviewed at a later time and unaccepted items will be donated.
​
​Donations or unaccepted items will be donated to our affiliated local charity, Project Just Because in Hopkinton, MA.
​​
For larger items, please send a photo of the item(s) prior to bringing to the store.
​
To help the process, please ensure that you are only bringing what you, yourself would buy. ALL ITEMS should be in excellent condition, recently washed, free of stains, holes, fraying, tears, visible pet hair or other imperfections​
​
Safety and sanitation are of utmost concern. All equipment is up-to-date and meets current federal safety standards. All equipment is properly cleaned and sanitized prior to pick up.
​
Items ONLY will be accepted on a seasonal basis:
Fall/Winter: July/August
Spring: January/February
Summer: March/April
