When and How to Consign
Clothes are accepted according to the current season, Spring/Summer is February through June and Fall/Winter is July to December. All other items are accepted year round.
Please limit up to 30 children’s items at a time anytime during store hours, no appointment necessary. If time permits, we will go through your items with you at the time you bring them in. Please do not be offended if there are items we are not able to accept. We will carefully inspect each item offered to determine condition, brand and customer demand. Number of items accepted may be limited to available store space.
Clothing and small items must be brought in a medium laundry basket or plastic bin, clearly labeled with your first and last name, including phone number. Please no plastic bags or garbage bags. Try to limit items to two baskets or two plastic bins per visit. Baskets and bins can be picked up no later than 5 days after drop-off.
In the event you are in a hurry or we are busy, you may leave items and we will assess them within the next few days. Should there be "no thank you" items, we will call you to pick them up. Unaccepted items not picked up after 5 business days will become the property of Cutest Kids -Consignment and will be donated.
We will have you sign a contract with us agreeing to have Cutest Kids consign your items for a period of 90 days. We will create an account in your name that will manage your inventory and credit your account 40% of the selling price that we have determined is appropriate. Cutest Kids will not be liable for merchandise that is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Do not want to consign, we may be willing to purchase some items outright at a slightly higher than rummage sale prices, depending on the demand.
