This year Fanime is proud to announce that we will have an Item Check department.

This is to allow all of our attendees to store items, for a small fee, whether they will be staying in the hotels or not.

Why is Fanime starting a Check Department?

     1) Hotel checks tend to fill up quickly and are unable to typically handle the load of bags, especially on Monday a.k.a. Move Out Day. They also tend to shy away from holding bags for general convention attendees and try to concentrate on their guests firsts.
     2) Every last penny being earned is going to our Charity Partner.   Make-A-Wish Foundation

Location

Check will be located in the San Carlos room of the Marriott. This is right in front of the stairs on the second floor of the Marriott leading down into the lobby. There will be signs in front of the room as well to help guide the way.

Check Hours Will Be
Friday 10am-9pm
Saturday 10am-8pm
Sunday 10am-8pm
Monday 10am-4pm

Costs To Hold Items

$2-A coat or similarly hangable item
$3-A small to medium bag (purse to backpack)
$5-A large bag/item (luggage,oversize props)

Fanime's Check Department will be on first come first served basis and if we get filled to capacity we will be unable to take in more items until some of the older ones are picked up.
There are no in & out privileges. If you request to get an item out of a bag there will be a charge to put it back in storage.

Due to problems that have arisen in the past I would like to post that Fanime has a zero tolerance for Bootlegs & Counterfits in the Dealers Hall.

If anyone notices a bootleg / suspicious item in the Hall please alert Dealers Staff of the company and the item and we will follow up. Some vendors won't have a bootleg where we can see it, but if an attendee asks for such and such a plush they might pull it from under their table/out of visual sight. If a vendor pulls an item out from non viewable stock look it over carefully or alert Dealers Staff if you don't know how.

Please do not take it upon yourself to confront the vendor, leave that to our staff. If you are looking for Dealers staff you can find us at the booth up front or starting 2014 look for staffers wearing Blue Tom Nook aprons that also say FanimeCon.
If you have any concerns regarding treament please let us know as well.

The other thing to note is we do allow "Doujin" items. "Doujin Items" are ones that are of licensed characters, but are original artwork done in a differing style by an artist on the vendor's staff. Typical "Doujin Items" in the past have included actual Doujinishi, t-shirts, dakimakura covers, and wall scrolls. If you have a concern regarding these let staff know and we'll follow up.

Post convention if there are issues you can PM me here on the forums or contact dealers at fanime dot com.
