Question 2

Consignment Rules

Accepted Answer

We accept gently worn, clean, and current clothing for:

Babies & Kids, Teens, Women, , Shoes, Accessories, and Select Maternity Wear.

For Baby, Kids & Teen Consignment we do not accept any items from Temu, Shein (or equivalent), or Ardene. Joe Fresh & George/ Athletic works will be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

For Adult Consignment we do not accept the following brands: Ardene, Shein (or equivalent), Warehouse One, George, Joe Fresh, Amazon, Tanjay & Alia. We also do not accept camisoles/Tank tops unless they are athletic tops like from Lululemon, Adidas, Nike, Puma etc.

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.

Spring & Summer Drop offs

March 1st - August 1st

Fall & Winter

August 1st - February 28th

Non-clothing items (e.g., activity centers, baby monitors, strollers) must be clean, complete, and in good working condition — batteries must be included and functional, as we do not supply them. We do not accept  small toys (ex. books, dolls, teddy bears, Puzzles, Playdough ...)

Question 3

How it Works

Accepted Answer

Consignors receive 40% of the selling price. Items remain on the floor for up to 120 days. After that, they are either donated or added to a donation account. Maternity wear and sports gear may stay longer, at Lil Hoots’ discretion.

Items may be marked down at any time for sales or promotions (Example: Shoe Sale, Last Chance, Seniors’ Day).

Payouts can be requested at any time in-store as merchandise credit, or via cheque (processed on the 1st of each month). Payouts must be requested verbally or in writing (email, Facebook, or Instagram)
