Helpful Tips for Shoppers

Helpful Tips for Shoppers:

If you are shopping at a peak sales event, we ask that you please not save places in line. It is not fair and is very disheartening to others waiting in line, only to see it swell in front of them as the doors open.

If you are shopping a private sale, bringing a laundry basket and/or a beach towel are helpful. Since space is so limited with shoppers packed in the aisles, we can not offer shopping carts; however, we are happy for you to use laundry baskets to assist you in carrying your items. The beach towels prove helpful as well. They can be spread out on the warehouse floor for you to use when making stacks/piles of merchandise which you intend to purchase. Others know that those items actually belong to someone else. The towel keeps items clean, and it provides you a place to sit down and catch your breath!

And if you are shopping during a sale open to the public and have children with you, we must insist that the children remain by your side at all times. We are mindful that the toys left in our warehouse do not belong to us. Our first responsibility is to be a good steward of those things left in our care. Children naturally want to play with toys, and our toys are not presented in their original packaging. This situation makes it easy for children to open bags and separate parts which belong to our consignors. We do not wish to offend anyone; however, we simply can not have children play with the toys that belong to our consignors. Further, our warehouse setting with racks and shelves can make for a dangerous setting for unattended children. For their safety as well, we must insist that your children remain by your side and properly supervised at all times while in our warehouse. We appreciate your understanding.

Regardless of when you shop, you may want to wear layered clothing, as the warehouse can get warm with body heat. We are fortunate to have a heated/air conditioned facility, but during peak sale hours you may want to have the ability to add or shed layers!

We ask that you be a kind shopper! Sometimes in the rush of the moment, we all forget our manners. But if we all try to be kind and treat others as we want them to treat us, it makes for a much more pleasant evening.

Being a kind shopper also entails putting unwanted things back where they belong. After you make your selections, we urge you to put all of your unwanted items back where others may find them. And as you shop, if you find things out of place, please take a moment and put them where they belong. If all shoppers helped in this way, everyone’s shopping experience would be much more pleasant!

WeeRuns accepts VISA/Mastercard, as well as personal checks. For credit card purchases, we ask that you have a $35.00 minimum. We have separate check-out lines for cash/check and credit card purchases. Please be aware of this division when checking out to ensure you are in the correct line.

Due to the nature of the consignment sale, we are unfortunately unable to make refunds. All sales are final, so if you have ANY questions regarding a potential purchase, please ask before you go through the check out line. We’re more than happy to check batteries or assist in any way to protect you during the purchasing process. When in doubt about anything, please seek the assistance of one of our volunteers.
