- As for artists who do not yet have existing merch but wish to sign up with us, we will soon offer to be the middleman and outsource from trusted suppliers that we know. There will be a slight fee above the rates of the supplier, but your advantage is that you won’t have to ship them to us, and you still have the ownership of the item. Return of unsold goods clause is still applicable to you.What if an item gets sold faster than the others?
- Amazing! If this is the case, Muni will send in an early notification that an item is about to be sold out. Again, the artists can decide to restock or to have it sold out for a bit of time. Whichever is decided, the artists will have to answer the notification sent by the Muni team.How about additional new items?
- Artists will be responsible for contacting the Muni team about any additional items they want to add. They will have to fill out the Item form and submit it to Muni and let us know when you'll be able to ship so we can prepare the website listing.How about personal packaging?
- We understand that some artists love to personalize their packaging to their customers. We encourage you to have your items ready packed individually in your own style and branding, or a mini card that you can send along with your stocks that the Muni team can easily put in the orders that will include the merch.How will artists receive their payout? How often?
- Thru bank transfer. Any other payment method could be available upon request. The Muni team will also send your payout and a report of your sales on a monthly basis.What is the return/discontinued items policy?
- If the artist decides to pull out an item from the shop, they will have to inform the Muni team through email.

Shipping fee will be handled by the Artists.How long can artists keep their items in Muni?
- If an item has been with us for a while and the Muni team has noticed a bit of wear on them, the team will then inform the artists and ask them whether the items can be sold on a discounted rate, pulled out or be given way as freebies to whoever buys another item from the same artist. We will listen to what the artists would want to do with their own items.
