Welcome to our page about shopping the Growing Kids Sale Preview Parties! We are so thankful to our consignors and volunteers who make the sale successful, and it is our pleasure to offer early shopping privileges to show our gratitude! If you read the information below, you will learn everything you need to know about shopping at a Preview Party!
Volunteer Preview Party (for volunteers only!): Tues, Mar 6th, 3-9pm
Consignor Preview Party (for consignors only!): Wed, Mar 7th, 3-9pm
SHOPPER POLICY (who may shop with a volunteer or consignor):
A spouse, grandparents AND/OR children under 18 may shop with volunteer or consignor on one pass. No sisters, friends, aunts, etc. NO EXCEPTIONS! Please only bring children if absolutely necessary. Children under 12 must remain with a parent AT ALL TIMES.
LOST ARMBAND POLICY (what happens if you lose your armband pass):
All consignors & volunteers must present their armband to enter the appropriate Preview Party. In the event an armband is lost, the consignor/volunteer may obtain a replacement pass by paying a $25 CASH fee. Replacement armbands are only good for entry at 4:00pm (one hour later than doors open).
- Shopping Bags: We provide large bags for you to carry your purchases while you shop, but you may wish to bring your own tote or laundry basket in case we run out, or so that we can load your purchases in your bag to take home.
- Stroller Pass: If you bring a stroller or other item similar to items we sell, you will receive a GKS Stroller Pass as you enter so that we know it belongs to you.
- Payments Accepted: We accept cash, checks (must include DL number, 2 phone numbers, Date of Birth, and physical mailing address), Visa and Mastercard, including any debit cards which have the Visa or Mastercard logo. Shoppers MUST show a Driver's License if paying by check, credit or debit.
- Line to Enter: For the GKS Preview Parties, many consignors and volunteers choose to arrive before we open and form a line to be one of the first few to get in the door (very similar to Black Friday at Best Buy! haha). Being a part of this line is entirely up to you!
- Bring Measurements: We do not have dressing rooms available, so it may be helpful to you to bring your child's measurements (such as waist measurement, pant length, bottom of foot, etc), along with a measuring tape.
- Buying a Large Item: Each of our large items (such as strollers, pack-n-plays, exer-saucers, furniture, swings, etc) will have a "Large Item Claim Ticket" connected to it. To buy one of those items, simply follow the instructions on the ticket. This will allow you to buy the item without carrying it while you shop, and you'll not need to move it until you're ready to load it in your vehicle. We always have at least one young man on duty to help you load the item if you need assistance. If the item will not fit in the vehicle you brought, please let us know so that we can instruct you on how to mark the item and come back for it later.
- Floor Layout: Please be aware that you will find larger merchandise, like strollers, pack-n-plays, exer-saucers, car seats, outdoor play equipment and more, in break-out rooms located on the east side of the building.
- Inspect Your Purchases: We work hard to make sure that only quality items make it to the sales floor. Unfortunately, sometimes an item will get through inspection that should not have been accepted. All sales are final, and since these are gently-used items, please thoroughly check each clothing item for blemishes before you purchase. There are racks located in the clothing area where you can place any blemished items you might find, so that we can remove those items from the sales floor. We also have a Toy Inspection Station located in the toy room, where the stationed GKS volunteer can help you test an electronic item or open a DVD before purchasing.
- Carry-out Help: We provide young men to assist you with loading your purchases in your vehicle. If this is something that would help you, please let your cashier know!
- GKS T-shirts: Our collectible Growing Kids T-Shirts are available during the Preview Parties (while supplies last). They are FREE to those who spend $200 or more, or can be purchased for $10 each. Each sale season features a new t-shirt color!
- Will you help? The Preview Parties are some of our busiest shopping hours. Though we have volunteers trying to keep the sales floor straightened and picked up during the Preview Parties, with the number of shoppers, it can quickly get out-of-hand. Please assist us by using our center "sorting aisle" to sort through your finds, and either leaving your unwanted items on that aisle, or returning them to their appropriate rack. Thank you!!
