All items must be freshly laundered, in excellent condition, and free of stains, holes, odor, or pet hair.
Any items that are provided in poor condition that require our team to take additional action to be saleable, the split will be 80/20 favoring the store or the item will be immediately donated.
We follow seasonal trends, so we may only accept certain styles at specific times of year. Holiday-themed items (e.g., Christmas, Halloween) and winter wear (e.g., toques, mitts, heavy coats) are accepted only during the appropriate season.
