Items in Your Booth

Attention top-floor vendors: If you find an item in your booth that does not belong to you but does have a tag attached, please place it in the fitting room rather than the untagged items room. This helps us return merchandise to the correct vendor more efficiently. Thank you for your help!

Tagging Stations

Please do not adjust or change any of the settings on the tagging stations. The stations are configured to work properly for all vendors, and changes can cause issues for others using the system. Thank you for helping us keep everything running smoothly.
