POLICY:
By purchasing a Mystery Box, the customer agrees to receive a selection of items chosen randomly from our available inventory. The concept is based on the element of surprise, which means that the models, colors, styles, brands, and values included may vary from one box to another.
Each box contains a selection of products defined according to the offer displayed at the time of purchase. Included items may come from past collections, end-of-series, overstock, or merchandise specially selected for this offer.
All sales of Mystery Boxes are final. Due to the random and promotional nature of the product, no exchanges, refunds, or returns will be accepted, except in the case of a shipping error on our part or if a received item has a major defect.

Floor: stock and inventory
Remove stock
Remove stock
At Homies, merchandise is moved (stock coding) to the floor by a person assigned by the supervisor or manager at the beginning of each shift.
PREPARING THE GROUND
- At the beginning of the shift, ask the supervisor/manager what stock needs to be moved during the shift.
- Retrieve the stock to be moved from the garage.
Stock ready for coding is always tagged with a colored sticker:
- RED for HOMIES CHICOUT
- PINK for HOMIES ALMA
- RED + PINK = SPLIT (for HOMIES CHICOUT AND ALMA)
The colored stickers contain:
- the brand
- the gender: M = MALE / W = FEMALE / U = UNISEX / K = YOUTH AND KIDS
- the number of boxes in the received lot (e.g., 1/3; 2/3; 3/3)
Note: The receiving sheets are now in the small plastic pouch on one of the boxes in the lot to be received.
What to do with receipts for split stock (Chicout and Alma)?
- Tag the stock with the first sheet (HOMIES CHICOUT receipt)
- Once the Chicout stock is out: Close the Alma stock box with the HOMIES ALMA receipt sheet (the stapled sheet beneath the HOMIES CHICOUT receipt sheet) inside, make an X on the red sticker (HOMIES CHICOUT), and place the box(es) with the other boxes for Alma (to the right of the garage entrance door).
TAGGING
Products for the backroom (shoes, helmets, bindings, boots) and glasses
- Remove ALL stock from the boxes, sorting products by style/color and size in the backroom.
- Verify with existing products where to stick the labels (each brand has a specific location, and everything must be consistent).
- Tag the products.
For existing products: ensure that the price of new products and old products are the same. If not, see Annex point 2.
Clothing and accessories (all in-store, no overstock)
- Bring all receipt boxes to the front (to the island behind the cash register) and remove ALL (when possible) stock from the boxes, sorting by style/color.
- Tag the products with our labels, making sure to hide the barcode and price (if any) of the brand labels.
- Add the anti-theft tag to expensive and attractive products (to prevent theft).
For existing products: ensure that the price of new products and old products are the same. If not, see Annex point 2.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- ALWAYS VERIFY that the SKUs (product codes) on our labels are the same as on the product labels. You can also verify the price in CAD (generally identical to that of the brands).
- ALWAYS VERIFY the color you are coding: the same product can be coded multiple times in different colors.
