POLICY
|
|
Kids clothes Connection reserves the right to not accept or sell items that do not meet quality expectations or are not prepared by the standards in this web page. ALL items should be of good quality, CLEAN, and in excellent condition, with no signs of wear or stains and no damage such as tears, missing buttons, broken zippers or snaps. PLEASE, no items that smell of cigarette smoke or musty storage!! Only items "seasonally" related to upcoming sale will be accepted. Call if you are uncertain about any items.
*IMPORTANT NEW RECEIVING POLICY: Consignor sale items will no longer be inspected during receiving. When you bring items on one of the scheduled receiving dates/times we will make sure you have metal hangers only, correct tags with barcodes attached and clothes are sorted by size and sex. After checking in at the computer you will proceed to designated tables where workers will for look for these specific things and then put out your sale items. We believe this will be a more efficient and less hectic process for all! HOWEVER, after receiving has ended, a team of workers will screen very closely as we organize for the sale. *We will pull any items that do not meet the standards and guidelines stated throughout this website and they will AUTOMATICALLY be donated to charity. The responsibility will be yours to make sure items brought to sell are acceptable. PLEASE inspect your items carefully before spending your valuable time tagging. If you have questions about any items, don't hesitate to ask. *We will not pull clothing items with a "small" stain that could easily be removed or would sell because of the quality of the garment.
We want to be known for having the best quality merchandise and we want you, as a purchaser, to have confidence that you are buying the best at Kids Clothes Connection!
