Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Q: What is Wee-Cycle Children’s Consignment?
A: Wee-Cycle is a seasonal children’s consignment sale that was born out of our concern in recycling children's clothing within our community. There is a goldmine of recyclable items in each of our homes. Our idea is to offer a less expensive path to children's fashion and more while tapping into Boone's green consciousness.
Q: How often do you have these sales?
A: Wee-Cycle has a Spring/Summer Sale in March or April and a Fall/Winter Sale in August or September. We also have a Winter Sale in November, featuring Holiday/Christmas appareal and toys, along with winter items such as clothing, coats, snow bibs and snow boots.
Q: What payment do you accept?
A: Wee-Cycle accepts cash, Master Card and Visa. When adding up your costs, remember that we are required by NC state law to charge 6.75% sales tax.
Q: What is your return policy?
A: All sales are final with no returns.
Q: Do you have a ½ price or discount sale day?
A: Yes, the last day of our sale is half-off day. Everything that does NOT have the price circled in red will be sold at half of the listed price.
Q: Can I bring a shopping bag or basket?
A: Bringing shopping bags or a laundry basket (attach a belt or rope to pull it behind you) will be helpful. It is so much easier to look through the racks when you are not holding an armful of clothing. Sorry, no strollers or wagons to be used as shopping carts. Children in strollers are welcome.
Q: Will postings be made about closings due to inclement weather?
A: Yes, if we have to close the store due to weather, we will post it on our Website, Facebook and Twitter pages. See below on how to sign up for each of these.
Q: Are there opportunities to shop early?
A: Yes, Wee-Cycle has a Super Volunteer Pre-Sale which requires 6 hours of Volunteer time; a Volunteer Pre-Sale which requires 3 hours of Volunteer time; a Consignor Pre-sale which requires consigning of your items and a New Mommies/Daddies and New Adoptive Parents Pre-sale which is open to first time moms, dads and adoptive parents that are either currently pregnant/expecting or have a child 12 months and under.. Each of these pre-sales are prior to the Grand opening to the public. Please see below for more information on volunteering.
