HOW DROP OFF BUYING WORKS @ CAKE

Drop off Buying is the only way to sell your clothes to us this winter.

1) Sign up for a drop off window, fill out the form below! Drop offs are a window of time, so anytime within the window! (Weds, Thurs, Fri: 12-5PM, Sundays: 12-3PM.)

2) Prep your items in accordance with our guidelines outlined here:
- Read through our buying guidelines below and make sure you’re only bringing us items we are looking for.
- Label your bags with your full name! (Please bring bags we can reuse or recycle, not boxes or bins.)
- Please bring no more than the equivalent of 1 IKEA bag, 1 kitchen trash bag (no contractor/yard waste bags), OR 2-3 grocery bags of items.
3) Enter the shop and check in with a shop associate. Let them know you have a drop off appointment and they’ll give you next steps.

4) With drop-off buying, we will not return your bags/bins/boxes to you. We will also not return any items we pass on. Items we’re not able to buy will be donated.

5) We’ll look through your items and get back to you via email within a few days.

6) Folks signing up for a cash drop off, please note there is a $125 cash cap per drop off – meaning the cash we offer you will be no more than $125 max for your items. 

7) Cash payments will only be made via Paypal, you must have a PayPal account in order to receive cash payments. 

8) Store credit is added to an account held in our retail system under your full name and email address provided. 

Now buying items for winter!

ITEMS INCLUDING LIGHTWEIGHT SWEATERS, ITEMS YOU CAN LAYER, FLANNELS, jackets, coats, boots, and Things you can be wearing Now!

We’ll update you here when we start buying spring styles.

Items must be size 1XL or larger, in good condition, free of strong scents and/or animal hair, and in season.

Please be extra thoughtful about the condition of your items. (This is the most common reason we have to pass on clothing.) Please give your items a second look paying close attention to removing items with any stains, holes, missing buttons, pilling of any kind, or places where the fabric is worn. Examine the armpits and crotches of garments as that is where these issues often are apparent. We don't buy clothing that is unclean or smells (including items that smell of smoke). More info on what we love and what we don’t buy below!

The style of our shop is fresh and trendy. 
If you haven’t shopped with us or sold to us before, please check out our website and social media so you can get a better sense of the style of the shop.

Interested in donating your items to Cake (vs selling them to us)? AWESOME! Cake is so excited to be able to accept donations now! We ask that donations still honor our buying guidelines; seasonally appropriate, gently used, size 14/XL and above. Please review our buying guidelines, even for donations! We are able to accept donations during our hours of operation (Wed-Sat 11am-6pm, Sun 11-4). Please *do not* leave donations at our door/outside/when we are not open. The city will charge us a fee for “leaving garbage outside of property”, they’re really finicky about this! Any questions? Feel free to reach out to Mawrgyn at contact@cakeplussize.com.
