Consign With Us

What happens next?
Once your items are collected, we sort and itemize your pieces. We then provide you with an Inventory List which includes pricing and consignor commission rates by item. You'll get a final chance to approve the list before we start to sell. We will also inform you if there are items we cannot accept - at which point you can arrange to get them back, or we can donate them on your behalf to a local charity.
Once approval is received, we iron/steam, photograph and list your pieces. Your consigned items will stay in our shop until they sell, or for the duration of the Consignment Period (usually 365 days).
How we price
When you receive your Inventory List, you will see a Curated Cubs target price for each item. Our pricing is based on the brand, condition, demand and current retail price of your item. Unique items and items in BNWT or EUC conditions will see a higher price point than items in GUC or lower quality brands.
Consignor Commission Rates
We offer Consignor Commission Rates between 15-40%, depending on the brand, rarity of the item, and condition.
Note: we are currently NOT accepting items from Carter's, Walmart, and Winners brands unless they are New with Tags (BNWT). We are also limiting our intake of Old Navy & Joe Fresh items - these must be in excellent condition. If you wish to include these types of items in your pickup pile, we will gladly sort and donate them on your behalf.
We are also not accepting Maternity clothing until further notice. Maternity items/gear (belly bands, support pillows, etc.) are still accepted.
Our current Consignor Commission Rates are as follows:
- 15%: Brands like Carter's, Old Navy & Joe Fresh, Winners (Little Me, etc), George.
- 20-30%: Brands like H&M, IndigoBaby, Fisher-Price, Nike, Munchkin, Osh Kosh
- 30-40%: Brands like Zara, Adidas, GAP, Mini Mioche, Ralph Lauren, Ted Baker Kids, Kate Spade Kids, Janie & Jack, Boon
- 41%+: High-end EUC items (Burberry, etc), brand name strollers (Bugaboo, Stokke, etc), and hard-to-find items.
*To enquire about a specific brand, please contact us.
How you get paid
We send payment as your items sell! Once a quarter, we will pay out any Commissions for sales from the previous three months. Payment is sent directly by e-transfer to the email address on file.
You will also have the option to receive your commission via Curated Cubs e-credit. If you select this option, you will receive a 10% top-up each quarter, and be able to use the credit towards anything in our shop!
We also offer the opportunity to donate your commission earnings to SickKids children's hospital.
Other benefits
When you consign with Curated Cubs, you are not only helping save your children's special items from a landfill, you are also supporting a local business and the community.
