Consignment Policies

We appreciate your interest in Sweet Monkey and want to make your consignment experience as smooth as possible. Below are our consignment policies, and we kindly ask that you review them to ensure a clear understanding:

Condition of Children's Clothes and Shoes: Children's clothes and shoes (from newborn to 10-year-olds) should be in good condition, freshly laundered, and free of stains, tears, odors, etc.    

Product Evaluation: Upon receiving your products, it will take about a week for us to inspect and set the prices based on current market conditions. You will be notified of how many pieces we accepted and all pricing details via email.  

Item Retrieval: It's your responsibility to pick up any unsold items. If you prefer not to have an item donated to charity, simply visit us before your scheduled pick-up date to claim it. For those with numerous items, feel free to email us at karibeenterprises@gmail.com before the pick-up date, so we can set your items aside for you.

  1. Charitable Donations: Any unclaimed items are joyfully donated to wonderful local charities. Not only does this initiative bring smiles to those in need, but it also plays a crucial role in sustainable practices, promoting the continuous cycle of recycling.

  2. Consignment Period: Contracts are valid for 90 days from the date of pricing. After this period, all items expire and become Sweet Monkey's property.

  3. Consignment Agreements: When you consign items at Sweet Monkey, you agree to the following policies. It's crucial to monitor your account, and you can log in via your email address to track your items' status. We don't send individual notifications for each sale or pick-up reminders.

  4. Pricing and Payment: Sweet Monkey reserves the right to determine the pricing of items consigned. Prices are determined based on the retail value, condition, and market demand. Consignors receive 40% of the selling price. Payments can be in the form of store credit (with an extra 10% towards purchases) or a cheque (issued weekly upon request).

Disagreement with Price: If you disagree with the evaluated price, you have three days to email us for a return request. Failure to do so within this timeframe implies acceptance, and the product will be listed on our website for sale.  
Additional Fees: An item fee of $0.50 - $2.00 is added to cover production costs, and a $1.00 - $2.00 fee applies to cleaning shoes.
Price Adjustments: Items not sold within 45 days may be discounted by 20-50%. After 90 days, unsold items may be marked down by up to 20%, and any remaining items will be donated to charity.
