Our event is growing by leaps and bounds and, as a result, we will need to limit the number of items to 150 per consignor. Please keep in mind that items that are grouped and priced together: outfits with multiple pieces, bedding sets, and other toy and clothing groupings count as a single item. You can group a pair of pants and a top together to make an outfit (recommended for sizes UNDER 2T), group multiple onesies or sleepers together, create a grouping with a few tops or a few bottoms, etc. All grouped items MUST be the SAME SIZE and will be most 'sellable' if they are a similar style. Our most successful consignors have mastered the art of bundling their items to create as much value as possible for our shoppers.

Item Re-Stock -- Since our space will not allow us to accomodate everyone who would like to participate with us, we will have an 'Inventory Re-Stock' on Monday, September 15th, when a second wave of consignors will bring their items in. Consignors who sign up first will be given priority drop off. All Drop off dates will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis and certain rules will apply. (Please see our FAQ' for more details) At check out, all shoppers will be invited to stop back and see our "NEW" inventory on Tuesday, September 16th. As always, our consignors and volunteers will have the first opportunity to shop the newly stocked merchandise. Please see the schedule for detailed times.

MUCH longer Guest Presale -- Our guest presale was such a hit, that we were inundated with shoppers! To better serve everyone, we have made this a full-day event! Grandparents, New and Expectant Parents, Teachers, and Childcare Providers are invited to shop EARLY with us on Friday, September 12th. Please see our schedule for detailed times. We look forward to seeing you!

Continuing This Sale . . .

Additional Perk for Team Snuggle Bugs members -- As an added benefit, Team Snuggle Bugs members may contribute an additional 100 items to the sale.

Additional Incentives -- When you Sell More...You can Bring More. We have added a Sales Performance incentive to reward our most successful sellers. (To be fair to everyone, success is based on the percentage of items sold, rather than the number of items sold).

Additional Quality Control Measures -- The vast majority of our consignors have done an amazing job editting their items and leaving out any items that do not meet the quality standards that we have set. Thank you so much!!! We appreciate your efforts and believe that, by working together, we will create a top-notch shopping experience for everyone. With that said there were, unfortunately, some items that made their way to the sales floor that did not represent the level of quality that our shoppers expect. Because we want to ensure that only the highest quality items are offered, we will conduct a quality control check prior to the start of the sale. Every item on the sales floor will be reviewed by fellow consignors to be sure that it is in excellent condition. Items that are found to have stains, holes, tears, missing buttons, excessive wear, etc. will be removed from the sales floor before the event begins. Any items that are outdated or that fall on the list of brand names that we do not work with will be taken from the sales floor as well. We want to make sure that this remains a very high quality event and that our shoppers can shop with confidence. Please be sure to review your items carefully in a well-lit area and follow this rule of thumb: "If in doubt, leave it out." Thank you for your understanding.

Volunteer Incentive Program -- Due to the popularity and success of the volunteer program, we will continue to offer these incentives. We really appreciate everyone's help and look forward to seeing some old friends and making some new friends this spring! To learn more about this program, please visit the Volunteers Needed' tab on our website to learn about all of the great perks that we offer to our volunteers!

Early Bird Label Pick-Up -- This service was very popular among our consignors and will continue to be offered. What is it? Consignors who are interested may pick up their labels early. If you would like to pick up some or all of your labels BEFORE the Drop-Off time frame, your items must be entered by 5:00pm on Friday, August 29th. Labels will be available for pick-up on Wednesday, September 3rd from 9:30am to 11:00am and 6:30pm to 8pm at Giant Eagle Market District in Bethel Park (Cafe Area). Consignors opting for this service will be required to sign a Waiver of Guarantee. If you have a LOT of items for the sale, you may want to consider finalizing the batch/batches that you have already entered, so you can pick up the labels for those items and affix the labels at home (of course still keeping them in order of size and gender). If you have additional items to include in the sale, you can just start a new batch for them and get those labels at Drop-Off time. This will shorten your drop-off time, since there will be fewer labels to attach.

An exciting Opportunity for our Workers! Make mine a double! Item Sort at the end of the sale is a fun, fast-paced time to work, and a time that we typically find ourselves understaffed. The Item Sort will take place on Sunday, September 21st and it involves organizing the items that will be returned to our consignors. We will award DOUBLE credit for shifts worked during this time. Each volunteer shift worked during this time will count as 2 shifts for purposes of determining percentage payouts, shopping discounts, raffle entries, etc. This is the ONLY shift that will be eligible for double credit. **IMPORTANT** To give as many people as possible the opportunity to work a double-shift, each person is limited to working ONE double shift.
