Items not sold will be returned to you (if you elected return service) or donated to our charitable partner, The Battered Women and Children’s Shelter. You will indicate on the garment form how you would like Six Honeybees to handle all unsold merchandise. For those items that you would like returned, you will be charged a $10 return fee to cover shipping. For all items that are donated, you will receive a tax deductible receipt if you choose to donate the items in your businesses name to use on your taxes.
