How It Works
Step 1: Email & Pre-Approval
Start by describing your items via email hello@minissentials.ca! Tell us generally what brands and sizes. For example: " I have a ton of Burberry & Aviator Nation items in sizes 6-8 years" Once pre-approved, we’ll schedule your assigned drop-off day and time.
Step 2: Drop-Off Day
Please ensure all items are clean and ready for review. Bring them to the store at your scheduled time.
Step 3: On-the-Spot Review
We review items while you’re in-store and let you know right away what is accepted.
Step 4: Account Upload
Approved items are uploaded to your account within 4 weeks. During busy periods, this may take longer.
Step 5: Track Sales in Real Time
You can monitor your sales and balance anytime through email. You’ll also receive an automatic email within 24 hours of each sale.
Step 6: Getting Paid
• Once your balance reaches $100 or more, you can request a payout on our website.
• Payments are sent by EMT within 10 business days.
• Balances under $100 can be used as store credit anytime in-store.
To submit your payout request, please use the “Request Payout” button available on our website.
Please note:
-
Payout requests must be submitted through the website.
-
Emails and direct messages regarding payout requests are not monitored and will not be acknowledged.

Important Policies (“The Absolute Nos”)
• Once items are dropped off, they become store property and cannot be picked up for one year.
• After one year:
• Items valued at $50 or more may be requested for pickup.
• Items valued under $50 cannot be returned and will continue to be sold up until 18 months with further reductions.
• After 18 months, any remaining unsold items may be donated.
• Your account balance remains active as long as your items are on our sales floor.
• Any items found with stains or holes after drop-off will automatically be disposed of or donated.
• If a consignor requests their items back before the one-year period, a $150 destocking fee will apply to compensate for labor.
