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

 

The following is a Summary of How The Red Wagon will handle the sales rang up for vendors. 

  • The Red Wagon will provide an attendant to sell vendors’ merchandise.
  • All Sales must be processed through The Red Wagon register system.
  • Vendors are to tag all of their merchandise with their Vendor Number and the Price. A Description or inventory number can be included.
  • The Red Wagon staff will record a customer sale in the computerized register system. At the end of the month, a statement will be provided to the vendor with a detailed list of items sold. 
  • The next month’s Rent and the 10% Commission on Sales will be deducted from the sales of the previous month and the balance of sales will be given to the vendor. If rent and commission exceed sales collected by The Red Wagon, an invoice for the balance due will be given to the vendor. The outstanding balance will be due by the 7th of the month. 
  • Vendor Sales reports are processed by management after the last day of the month and usually are available at the front checkout counter on the 2nd day of the month. (if there will be a delay, it will be noted at the checkout counter)
  1. Booth Rentals: 
    1. The first month’s rent is due prior to moving merchandise in.   
    2. Vendor Spaces are on a month-to-month basis unless otherwise noted on the signature page.    
    3. The vendor or Red Wagon management may terminate the rental agreement by submitting a written notice in advance of the first day of the month.
    4. The 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 accumulated sales of the previous month.  If rent and commission exceed sales then payment by the vendor is due by the 7th of the month. If rent is overdue by 30 days, unsold merchandise may be sold by The Red Wagon to cover past due rent and cannot otherwise be removed from the market until rent is paid in full.  Rent extends from the first day of the month to the last day of the month.
  3. Vendors Hours: The 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 booth.
  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. 
      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, The Red Wagon will not be able to sell the item. (The Red Wagon staff is not always able to call vendors to ask for a price on an un-market 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, The Red Wagon will not be able to sell the item.
  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. The Red Wagon collects the sales tax with each sale.
    1. If a vendor has a Certificate of Registration from the NC Dept. of Revenue 
      1. A copy of the Registration form must be provided to The Red Wagon.

    2. In cases of a vendor not having a Certificate of Registration from the NC Dept. of Revenue, The Red Wagon will collect and pay the sales tax through our system.
  6. 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 2nd day of the month.
