The following are the GUIDELINES for operations at Red Wagon. These Guidelines are a part of the Rental Agreement and Vendor Application.

 

See page 3 for a Summary of how Red Wagon will handle the sales rang up for vendors.  

  1. Booth Rentals: Please scan to enter your email address
    1. The first month’s rent is due before a vendor number can be issued and merchandise can be moved in.   
    2. Vendor Spaces are on a month-to-month basis unless otherwise noted on the signature page.   
    3. Vendors are not allowed to sell merchandise that belongs to someone who is not a vendor of Red Wagon.
    4. The vendor or Red Wagon management may terminate the rental agreement by submitting a notice before the first day of the month.
    5. Red Wagon management reserves the right to relocate a vendor to another space for various reasons in order to fulfill the overall goal of achieving success for the vendors and the market.
  2. Rent & Commission Due: The Rent and 10% Commission of Sales will be deducted from the accumulated sales of the previous month.  If rent and commission are greater than the sales, then payment by the vendor is due by the 15th of the month. Late Charge: If rent is not paid by the 15th of the month, a late charge of $5.00 will be applied to the outstanding balance. If rent is not paid by the end of the month, unsold merchandise may be boxed up and held until the rent has been paid.  Rent extends from the first day of the month to the last day of the month.
  3. Vendor’s Hours: Red Wagon is OPEN 7 days a week 10am to 6pm. Vendors may work their booths during normal open hours. Vendors are not to keep the staff after hours to work on their booths.
  4. Pricing: Vendors are responsible for tagging their own merchandise.
    1. Dealers must furnish their own tags. Items placed in a booth must have a price tag that is readable with the Vendor # and Price 
      1. It is strongly suggested that vendors use a LARGE price tag, allowing for the vendor number and price to be very readable. Those round dot tags do not stick to the merchandise well.
      2. (if WE can’t read the information on the tag, you could lose a sale) 
      3. If an item does not have a tag on it, Red Wagon will not be able to sell the item. (Red Wagon staff is not always able to call vendors to ask for a price on an un-marked item)
    2. Any other information the vendor deems necessary, such as an Item Description or Inventory Number, can be included. 
    3. To protect the vendor, prices cannot be crossed out and replaced by another price written on the tag; attach a new tag. 
    4. Price tags must be securely fastened to merchandise. If an item does have a tag on it, Red Wagon will not be able to sell the item. Those round dot tags do not stick to the merchandise well.
  5. Sales Tax:  All Businesses, including individual vendors, are required to collect and pay sales tax to the State of North Carolina Dept. of Revenue on the merchandise they sell. Red Wagon collects the sales tax with each sale.

If a vendor does not have their own Certificate of Registration from the NC Dept. of Revenue, Red Wagon will collect and pay the sales tax through our system.

  1. Pay Periods: The close of business on the last day of the month is the cut-off date for processing sales. Payment to vendors may be picked up after 1 pm, usually on the 3rd day of the month. One month’s rent and 10% commission on sales will be deducted from the sales.  A statement of the month’s sales activity will be provided with the payment and available at the front checkout counter.
  2. Vendor Identification: All Vendors are to check in at the front checkout counter upon arrival to work their booth, and only individuals with permission from the vendor (owner of merchandise) will be allowed to remove unsold items or pick up payments from Red Wagon. Please let us know if a significant other is going to be involved.
  3. Vendor Box: Vendors are to check the “vendor box” of merchandise with no tags to see if an item belongs to you. We date items that go in the Vendor Box, After 30 days in the vendor box, the items are boxed up and put in storage. After another 30 days, the items are priced by Management and sold for the store’s benefit.
  4. Prohibited Sales: Management of Red Wagon reserves the right to prohibit any item from being sold on the premises. The Red Wagon does not allow pornography (as determined by management), weapons and animals. Management reserves the right to refuse any merchandise we feel is inappropriate.
  5. Foods: No open foods, food carts, or food vending (including hot or cold drinks such as coffee, soda, or juice, baked goods) are permitted. No homemade canned products such as jelly, fruits, and vegetables. These products are not regulated by a health department. Red Wagon does not want to be part of an accusation if someone gets sick. 
  6. Housekeeping: Vendors are responsible for keeping their own space and merchandise clean and orderly. Red Wagon is responsible for the maintenance of aisles, restrooms, and the common areas of the market. ALL TRASH MUST BE REMOVED FROM Red Wagon PROPERTY BY VENDORS EACH DAY (taken with you). NO TRASH IS TO BE LEFT BEHIND OR DISPOSED OF IN The Red Wagon TRASH CANS. (There will not be enough capacity for everyone.)
  7. No Alterations: Vendors will not make alterations to the space in any way. No painting, wallpaper, electrical, or construction. Vendors are not to work on merchandise in such a way that it will cause damage to Red Wagon’s property and vendors’ space.
  8. Displays: All sales merchandise must be kept WITHIN each vendor’s assigned space. Customer walkways shall not be obstructed by merchandise. Vendors in the warehouse are not to have merchandise protruding beyond the shelves or assigned spaces. This is for the protection of the vendor’s merchandise and customers walking through the narrow walkways.
  9. Display of Outside Merchandise: Red Wagon wants to have merchandise displayed outside to draw the customers attention, Red Wagon will allow no more than 15 vendor items displayed outside that require the employees to carry back and forth each day. A vendor is allowed to have Merchandise displayed out front on the sidewalk, but must comply with the following. 

Permission from Andy Whitby, no more than 4 items per vendor. The items must be of a size that can easily be carried in and out on a daily basis. The vendor needs to realize that the merchandise will be subjected to dust, pollen, and blowing rain. While every effort will be made to bring merchandise inside when it rains, it could still get wet.

  1. Vendor Conduct: Vendors will conduct themselves in a professional, courteous manner at all times. The use of loud, profane, or abusive language is not permitted. All vendors are responsible for their merchandise, equipment, and their actions, and the actions of their employees. THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Vendors may not permit their children to be on the property unsupervised. Failure to properly supervise children may result in Vendor being banned from selling at The Red Wagon. Vendors are not to park on Washington Ave. Park on side streets or town parking lots. Leave the street parking in front of the building available for customers.
  2. Move-Out: Move-outs shall occur on or before the last day of the current rental period.  Holdovers will be charged an additional rent. Vendors must settle all overdue rent charges and damages before removing merchandise from Red Wagon on move-out day.
  3. Forms of Payment: Red Wagon will not accept checks as payment for outstanding rent payments or merchandise purchases. Red Wagon accepts payment by all major credit and debit cards. For forms of payment other than cash, a 4% credit card processing fee will be added to the customer’s translation to cover the expense of the fees charged by the payment processor. 
  4. Losses and Insurance: The Red Wagon will not be responsible for any loss or damage of merchandise, property, or equipment, either from natural or unnatural causes, such as theft, fire, flood, wind, rain, or any other cause whatsoever. Vendors may purchase additional insurance if so desired.
  5. All Laws Apply: Vendors shall abide at all times by the codes, ordinances, and regulations of the city, county, state, and other governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the conduct of the vendor’s business.
  6. No Smoking: Smoking and the use of Electronic Cigarettes is not permitted on the premises.
  7. Parking: Do not park in front of the building (unless unloading merchandise, then move your vehicle to a side street). LEAVE THE PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING FOR CUSTOMERS.
