Other frequently asked questions; 

Do I need an appointment to drop off my donation?

You do not need an appointment.  We ask that you drop off your donation during regular business hours. Preferably early in the day or later in the day.

Will you return any pieces you can not use to me?

Any china we cannot use we will donate. We will not keep the china for you to pick up at a later time, so be sure that you are okay parting with your treasures.

Can I wait while you go through my donation?

With a bustling business we are not able to go through donations while you wait.  We do all assessments after hours.

Thank you for thinking of The Mad Hatter!
