Commonly asked questions by SHOPPERS

How often do you have these sales? Our spring/summer sales are typically in March/April and our fall/winter sales are in September/October of each year.

Are children allowed to shop with me? Yes, although we will permit children, we encourage you to shop without them so that you can focus on getting the best deals. These types of sales can get crowded, and it may be easy to lose track of children.

Are the sales located indoors? Yes.

Are there any parking/entrance fees? No.

What forms of payment do you accept? We accept Cash only.

What is your return policy? All sales are final with no returns.

Can we "try on" the clothing? Unfortunately, we do not have accommodations for changing rooms. We suggest that you determine your child's size before you come to the sale.

What items do you sell? We will be offering girl's clothing (infant thru teen), boy's clothing (infant thru size 20), all season maternity, toys, outdoor/indoor play equipment, linens and bedding, shoes, bedroom decor, baby equipment, books, bikes, videos, and anything else to do with kids!

How much can I expect to save? The more you buy, the more you save! Of course B.B.'s Closet does not price any of the items, that is up to each of our consignors individually, but typically they price their items at 50% - 75% off of the original retail price. Also make sure to visit our Half-Price Sale later on Saturday where you can save even more! As attractive as our half-price sale is, make sure you also shop early on for the best selection.

Are the sales seasonal for clothing? Yes. We only sell spring/summer clothing in our March/April sale and fall/winter clothing in our September/October sale.

Who runs the sales? B.B.'s Closet is a privately owned company run by a Mom and Dad.

How can I become a B.B.'s Closet consignor? It's easy. All you have to do is register, clean, hang/package, and tag your items, and bring them to us. If you think you might be interested in consigning with us, please take a look at the detailed Consignor Information for more information.

Commonly asked questions by VOLUNTEERS

Can anyone sign up as a volunteer? Yes, anyone may sign up to volunteer on a first come/first serve basis. Keep in mind that volunteers get special benefits.

Can I volunteer for more than one shift? Yes, if you volunteer for two four-hour shifts, you are entitled to receive an extra preview ticket for a spouse/friend.

How long are the shifts? Most are four hours although we have made some two-hour shifts available on a limited basis. In order to earn volunteer benefits, you must volunteer a total of four hours or more (i.e. one four-hour shift or two two-hour shifts).

I'm pregnant or have a medical condition? If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, you will want to volunteer on Friday afternoons when the workload is less. We also have a Bartering program. If you need these positions, please email us with your request after registering and we will try to accommodate.

Can I bring my children with me to volunteer? Sorry, but only children over 10 may accompany you while you volunteer.

Can I cancel my shift if I have signed up to volunteer? Yes, but the volunteer is responsible for finding a replacement to cover their shift.

I would like to earn volunteer benefits, but I cannot volunteer due to schedule or other restrictions. Are there any other ways to earn these benefits? You can earn volunteer benefits through bartering opportunities. Most bartering opportunities involve helping us to promote the sale in some way and we will try to accommodate your needs. Email us if you'd like to request a bartering opportunity.
