for Fetes, Markets, a Fair trade fair or any event.

Welcome to our new way of putting a touch of Tribes and Nations fair trade into your next fete or event. Since our inception we have received many requests from people wanting to make fair trade products available to their friends, church and community. They have done this to add a ‘fair fragrance’  to a fete or to start the idea of ‘just buying’ in their friends thoughts or others who value fair trade and love the quality of our products and want to get them out there in the community. 

With this  Consignment ‘Store in a Box’ we send you around $1000 worth of stock to show case the products and give people a physical picture as to what is available in fair trade. We will include a free coffee and tea so that people can try before they buy. Besides the handcrafted goods our partner posters give you an insight into the origin of the products and can be the means to some great conversations. It is a simple way to make an ethical statement about the world we live in today and may be the start of a journey for someone who visits your stall.

Included in ‘the box’ will be:-
 
•    Handcraft products, with prices clearly marked (around $700 of value)
•    Posters and display prices lists for the consumables.
•    Information on fair trade and our partners.
•    A simple and easily understood invoice.
•    $300 worth of consumables which comprise coffee (18 pouches) Chocolate (16 bars) and Tea (15 packs). For OH&S (Occupational Health and Safety) reasons these goods are non returnable. See a complete break down of the contents at the bottom of the page.

This amount of product fills about one 2m x 1m long table so fits well into any stall or market situation.

Of the $700 worth of handcrafts we can choose the range or you can do the lot on our web site and send through the order.

We deliver the products to your door (free of charge within Sydney or per Australia Post charges elsewhere) After the event all handcraft goods should be returned to Tribes and Nations via registered or express post.

If you sell more than $200 worth of  handcrafts you receive a 10% discount on the whole order.
