Is consignor registration open for the upcoming sale?Consignor registration is open. Registration will close on Wednesday, September 4th, at midnight.
-
How do I register as a NEW consignor?You will need to register for a consignor number using the “New Consignor Signup” link on the right-hand side of the homepage or click HERE to be taken directly to that page. You will be given a consignor number immediately and sent a confirmation email. Be sure to write down your number and password and keep this information in a safe place, as you will need it to register for all future sales. Your consignor number will forever remain the same for all upcoming sales.
-
How do I register if I have consigned with you in the past?If you have received a consignor number in the past (whether you actually consigned with us or not), you will register as a RETURNING consignor. You will register as a returning consignor by using the “Returning Consignor Login” link on the right-hand side of the homepage or click HERE to be taken directly to that page. This will register you for the upcoming sale. You MUST register your consignor number for each new sale. Please DO NOT register for a new number if you have already been given a number in a previous sale. If you cannot remember your number or your password, please feel free to contact us. Your consignor number will remain forever the same for all upcoming sales.
-
What if I have registered and received a consignor number in the past but never actually consigned with you?If you have registered once before and received a consignor number, you are considered a RETURNING consignor – even if you did not actually consign with us. (See the instructions above on how to register as a returning consignor.) Feel free to contact us if you are unable to remember your number and/or password.
-
What if I am unable to remember my consignor number or my password?If you are unable to remember your consignor number or password, click the “Forgot your consignor number or password” or the “Trouble logging in” under the Consignor Login and complete the form. You should then receive the information you requested via email. However, if you do not receive an email shortly, you may contact us through email atsweetpeaswapsale@gmail.comor a private Facebook message. (FYI – A Facebook message will reach us much quicker than an email.) If you need your consignor number, please send us your full name and address. If you need your password, please note that our computer system no longer allows us to view or retrieve your password. However, we can reset your password. If you can’t recall your password, and are having trouble retrieving it through our system, send us a request (privately) to reset your password, along with what you would like for your NEW password to be.
-
What if I am unable to make Drop-Off?If you are unable to make drop-off, you may have a friend drop off your items for you. Please do not ask to come early or late. We are very busy in the last few hours leading up to drop-off and it is difficult for us to stop for early drop-offs. After drop-off, we are super busy trying to organize and prepare the building for the upcoming sale and stopping for late drop-offs makes it very hard for us to get our work completed.
-
How do I get my Consignor’s Presale Ticket?You will receive your presale ticket at Drop-Off. After your items have been checked and you have placed them in the appropriate area on the sales floor, you will then check in at the blue desk at the front of the building. Here, you will check in your consignor number for the sale and then receive your presale ticket. This is super important because this is when the computer sets up your account for the sale. If your account is not found when we begin selling, we do not know who to give the money to when your items are sold. Therefore, we are not able to pay you. If you forget to check in and get your ticket before leaving, please return anytime during drop off hours and we will assist you.
-
I forgot to get my Consignor’s Presale Ticket at Drop Off. What should I do?If you forgot to check in and get your presale ticket when you dropped off your things, you can come back at any other time during drop off, even if it is on a different day and we can assist you. Another option is to have a friend pick it up for you as they are dropping of their things. If drop off is over, send us a Facebook message (it is very likely we will not see an email) and we will let you know what you need to do.
-
Is there a fee for consigning?There is no upfront fee for consigning. However, there is a $20.00 processing fee that will be deducted from your check at the end of the sale. This fee helps with the operating costs of the sale, such as building rental, power and utilities, maintenance fees, advertising, mailing fees, and insurance.
-
What type of items are accepted at the sale?Sweet Pea Swap is a children’s consignment sale; therefore, our main focus is children’s clothing, children’s toys, and children’s accessories. However, we do accept Juniors clothing, pageant dresses, electronics, and household furniture. NO women’s clothing will be accepted. You can find a detailed list of accepted items and items that will not be accepted on our WHAT TO SELL, WHAT NOT TO SELL, AND UNACCEPTED ITEMS page.
-
How do I tag my items?All items must be tagged with a barcode. There are two options for tagging. You can find detailed instructions on how to tag your items on our TAGGING page under the Consignors page. We require that your tags be done a very specific way, so please be sure to carefully following the Tagging instructions when creating your tags. This will help the sale and check out process run smoothly.
-
Once consignor registration opens, can I print my tags, even though worker registration is not open?Yes. Once consignor registration is open and you have registered as a consignor for the upcoming sale, you may print your tags…even if worker registration is not open.
-
If I am handwriting my tags, where and when do I pick up my barcode labels?You can pick up your barcode labels at any time during drop off. The printer is very fast, so it is a quick and easy process; however, be sure and bring in your completed Barcode Label Order Form to speed up the process. You will pick up labels at the check in table. TWO THINGS TO NOTE: We DO NOT do barcode label orders. It is $5.00 cash to have labels printed.
-
Where can I find the link to the Barcode Label Order Form?Barcode Label Order Form.pub PLEASE NOTE – WE DO NOT DO BARCODE LABEL ORDERS.A barcode label order is when you send us an order, we receive it through our system, and we have your labels printed and waiting on you when you arrive at drop off. Unfortunately, our system is NOT set up to do this. Bring your label order form with you to drop off and we will print your labels there for you on site. It is surprisingly quick.
-
Does it cost to have barcodes printed?It is a $5.00 flat fee for any number of barcodes. Must be cash only as credit card machines are not set up during drop off. It is really helpful to us if you have exact change.
-
How do I price my items?Price your items to sell! It is such a great feeling to clean out your closet or home and make money. If you overprice your items, you will be returning home with the exact items that you tried to rid of AND without any money. When items are priced fairly, it is a win-win for both the consignor and the shopper. For help on pricing your items, see our PRICING guide on the Consignor Page.
-
Is there a limit on how much I can bring?Most items are unlimited; however, there is a 15 item limit on onesies, onesie pants (the pants that go over onesies), and sleepers. You can find more information on this limit on our 15 ITEM LIMIT section on the Consignor page.
-
Will I get my hangers back?Unfortunately, your hangers will not be returned to you. We do not remove hangers during check out; however, remember that you can replace some of those hangers with the hangers from the items that you are purchasing, as well as the hangers from your items that did not sell.
-
When will I receive my check?Checks will be ready and distributed on Pick Up day. If you are unable to make Pick Up, your check will be mailed to you within two weeks from the Monday following Pick-Up.
-
Can someone else pick up my check for me?Yes. In order for us to give your check to someone else, you will need to send us an email or a Facebook message giving us permission to give your check to someone else. They will need to know your name and consignor number when they arrive at pick up.
-
When is Pick-Up?Pick up for the 2024 Fall sale will be Thursday, September 19th, 10:00-6:00. Pick up is always the Thursday after the sale is over on Monday.
-
How does Pick Up work?On pick up day, all of your unsold items will be sorted back with your individual consignor number. The numbers will be in order so that you can easily find your number and collect your items. The items you marked for donate on your tag, will not be with your items. You have several choices when collecting your unsold items. One, you can take all of your unsold items home. Two, you can take some of your items home and leave some of your items to be donated. (If you choose to do this, you will just leave the items you want to donate in your spot.) Three, you can leave all of your items to be donated. All items left when we close the doors at 6:00 on pick up day, will be donated to Hope Village in Meridian.
-
Can someone else pick up my unsold items for me?Yes. If you are unable to make Pick-Up, and want your left over items, you may have a friend pick them up for you. All items left in the building at 6:00 on Pick-Up day, become the property of Sweet Pea Swap and will be distributed to the charity of our choice. We will close the building promptly at 6:00.
-
What happens to my items that did not sell, and I do not pick up?All items left after 6:00 on Pick Up day, will be donated to Hope Village in Meridian. We rent the building and do not have a place to store left over items. You also have the option of picking up some items and leaving others for charity. If you choose to leave items for charity, please leave them in your provided space. We will come around and collect them after pick-up is over.

What if I cannot find a worker shift that works for me?With work, kids, school, church, sports, etc., we understand that everyone is super busy these days! We want to try and offer a time for everyone to work; that’s why we offer hundreds of work shifts. We create the work schedule very carefully, putting shifts and the number of openings exactly where we need them. Please do your best to find one that has already been created. PLEASE DO NOT ask us to add a special shift for you. Every sale we have tons of requests from workers to add shifts, and if we did it for one, we would have to do it for everyone, and that is just impossible for us. It is important to us to keep things fair and honest for everyone. Thank you so much for your understanding!!
-
Can someone work my shift for me?Sure. We do not care who works your shift, as long as someone shows up on time and is dedicated to working hard.

Can someone help me load large or heavy items?We will do our best to help you, but remember, most of our volunteers are women. If you can have extra help come with you, that would be helpful.
