Inventory Transfer – How it works

Sign up online. I will pick up your items at the end of the Fairytale Threads event in Round Rock, store them in a secure location, and transport them to the Fairytale Threads in Austin in October.

No need to register or transfer inventory! - I will register you for the Austin event (registration fee is included) and transfer your inventory online with Fairytale Threads.

No drop-off appointment! - I will store your items until the sale and deliver them directly to FairytaleThreads. No lines. No waiting.

What it costs - I charge $30 for the first 250 items (which includes the $10 registration fee for the Austin event). If you have more than 250 items, you will be billed $10 for each additional 100 items in inventory. You must register no later than Wednesday, September 12th at 11:59PM. You can pay via Paypal with the link below or by check at drop-off.

What if I change my mind? - Please note that you may cancel and receive a full refund until Saturday, September 15th at 6:00PM.

By registering below, I agree to the terms and conditions for transportation services.

Tagging – How it works

Make an appointment. I will come to your home and pick up your items. All items should be free from stains, rips, pet hair, and should not be out of date. All toys must have their batteries.

No need for hangers! - I will prep and tag all of your items. No need for sorting, hangers, or safety pins!

No drop-off appointment! - I will store your items until the sale and deliver them directly to FairytaleThreads. No lines. No waiting.

What it costs - Instead of the usual 65% of sales that you receive as a consignor, you will receive 50% of the final sale price. I also charge a $15 supply fee which is payable when I pick up your items. (You will also still need to pay the $10 registration fee for the event.)

Please note, I cannot pick up oversized items (larger than 3ft x 3ft x 3ft). However, these items can be dropped off to me at the sale with express drop-off. I will tag them on-site.

FAQ

What happens to the items that might have stains, rips, or problems that I didn’t catch?

These items will be donated and I will mail you the tax receipt with your final check. You can elect to have these items returned to you for a $15 fee.

How will you decide on the prices for my items?

I will use sale guidelines, comparative online prices, and my 4 year consignment experience.

Do I need to sort my items by size, gender, etc?

No need to presort your items. As long as they are clean and all of the pieces are together, you are all set.

When do you need my items?

We are no longer taking appointments for the fall sale in Round Rock but its not too late to get in on the Austin event in October. We need all items by September 30th. So, sign up soon!
