We know, nobody wants to read these, but it’s all the info you need to know!
SELECTION OF THE CLOTHES
Our aim is to buy all the clothes sent to us. However, for your own satisfaction we only buy items that meet our selection criteria. We will select clothes at our own discretion. Please be very selective when sending us the clothes.
We will not mend or wash the clothes, so any item with a stain, yellowing, missing button or hole, etc will be rejected. New items with tags on can also be rejected depending on their condition.
If too few items match our selection criteria we reserve the right to reject the whole box. If you used our free courier service to send the clothes to us, you will be charged to have the whole box sent back to you (Please refer to the COST section below).
When sending via Pargo, we require a minimum of 20 items matching our selection criteria to be sent to us. You can obviously send more, provided they match our selection criteria. If you want to send less, please get in touch with us before.
There is no need to send pictures as we need to physically inspect the clothes.
SHIPPING OF THE CLOTHES
Simply drop off at our offices in Woodstock (week days, 8am-1pm – closed on weekends and public holidays).
For customers outside of Cape Town, please select your nearest drop off point by entering your address or city here. You must then request the waybill on our website.
Waybill will be issued in staggered batches. They are very popular, so please bear with us while we go through every single one of them.
Please note waybills are only valid for 28 days. Past this time, the waybill will be cancelled and parcels cannot be scanned in which can lead to parcels being lost. When dropping the clothes off, make sure the store scans your parcel in before leaving – PARGO and Petit Fox cannot be held liable if the box is not scanned in and gets lost.
Any box will do, as long as it is not bigger than 40cm x 40cm x40cm.
Petit Fox is not a courier company and cannot be held liable for losses incurred by the negligence of the courier company. For any problem during the transport of your parcel, do not hesitate to contact us so that we can trace the information to the courier company and make every effort to assist you with them.
Your waybill number is also your parcel tracking number. Visit Pargo’s website to track your parcel.
COST
The shipping cost of one (1) 5kg box per household is on us every 3 months.
Our courier company charges us per volume and kilogram, so please note you will be charged R45 for every 5kg over the first 5kg. We will also charge you R90 per additional box.
These limitations do not apply to Cape Town customers who do not need to request a waybill or customers who wish to send their own courier.
If too few items match our selection criteria we reserve the right to reject the whole box. If you made use of our free courier service, you will be charged to have the whole box sent back to you (R180 for a 5kg box to cover shipping costs both ways – heavier boxes will be charged accordingly).
PAYMENT
We send quotes within 3 weeks after receiving the box at our offices in Cape Town. The quote amount is for the whole box. It varies from one box to another as it depends on style, original price, brand, quality, quantity and category of each item. If the items are judged to be in high demand or a high-quality brand, we will pay you more. We also pay more for items that are new and still have the tag attached, provided they meet our selection criteria.
We take into account the work required to sort, freshen up, style, photograph, list and store clothing and then attract and serve buyers.
You will receive up to 40% our selling prices, depending on the option you choose. Get 20% more if you opt for store credit, valid for a whole year.
EFTs are made on Wednesdays, 45 days after quote acceptance. EFTs over R2,000 will be split into 2 payments, 6 weeks apart. EFTs over R5,000 will be split into 3 payments, 6 weeks apart. For EFTs over R10,000, terms will be discussed on a case-by-case basis. Store credit is issued within 72 hours!
REJECTED ITEMS
What might not be sellable on Petit Fox can still be very wearable. The items we did not buy will be donated to local hospitals and charities such as Bloom Mama, The Red Cross Children’s Hospital, St Anne’s Homes, Hatch, Atlantic Hope, to name a few.
You can choose to have the remaining clothes back. The cost to have the remaining clothes returned to the Pargo drop off point is R90 per 5 kg box.
Please note that Pargo holds the parcel for 8 days from the moment you receive your sms/email notification. If you have not collected your parcel within 8 days, it will be returned to Petit Fox and you will have to pay to have it sent back to you.
If you’d rather like to get all the clothes back, and you made use of our free courier service, a R180 fee per 5 kg box is applicable, plus any other additional cost linked to the weight of your parcel (R90 if you collect from our Woodstock premises within 10 days).
If too few items match our selection criteria we reserve the right to reject the whole box and you will be charged to have the whole box sent back to you if you made use of our free courier service (R180 to cover shipping costs both ways – heavier boxes will be charged accordingly). Should you decide to donate the box instead, we reserve the right to sell whatever is in sellable condition to cover our costs.
Please note that clothes not collected within 10 days will systematically be sent for donation.
WHY SELL WITH PETIT FOX
You can probably make more money selling individual pieces on moms groups, Facebook or Gumtree, but most moms find it’s not worth all the extra time and effort required.
It’s easy to forget how long it takes to take pictures, price items, upload pictures, create ads, answer phone calls and wait for buyers that never pitch up. Selling to Petit Fox often nets more money for much, much less work!
When selling kids and maternity clothes to Petit Fox you get paid up front, before the items are sold. With classic consignment stores, you have no guarantees on the price they will sell, since they do heavy markdowns to push the sale of your items.
It’s an easy, smart, 3-step operation: pack, send, cash in.
