Once Upon a child

Do yourself a favor and have your own garage sale. I have been selling to them for years but recently they have gotten extremely picky and low balling on prices. I came in one Sunday and dropped off a stroller only to be called four hours later to come back to the store to be told that «oh we have too many right now, maybe next time. Really, you couldn’t tell me that when I dropped it off? if any of the clothes has hint of an imperfection or one pill the or a slight color fade then forget it. Last time i checked previously used children’s clothes are not museum pieces. Yesterday was the last straw. My wife had a children’s boutique that she had to close due the economy two years ago. She has many factory sealed educational toys made in Germany of real wood certified lead free and other children’s items. I brought in 5 of these factory sealed wooden toys (that retailed for over $ 60 not that I’m looking for retail but these are quality not Wal-​Mart junk, so at least make a fair offer) a crib plush toy string factory sealed that wholesale was $ 25 and car seat strap pads all factory sealed. So there was close to $ 90 of factory sealed items. You know what they offered me? $ 9.50. NO more getting ripped off for me. As I said, do your own garage sale or a community garage sale and you will make FAR more than selling to these rip off artists.

If I could give them less than a 1, I surely would! By far the worst customer service experience I’ve encountered at any of the stores within the brand. They went so low as to accusing me of changing the prices on an accessory (after I had verified the price with an employee)! Unbelievable! Go to the one on EAST Colonial or Sand Lake, WAY better customer service!

I was waiting for a table at Ginza when a female friend of mine and I happened upon this delightful store. We toured the establishment and she ended up purchasing several clothing items and accessories for her demon spawn daughter. The prices are also quite right at this unusual consignment shop for children.
This is not a place one would go to find specific items. Its total pot luck but I am sure most of the time one will be pleasantly surprised by the deals they encounter. Do also get on their mailing list as my friend told me they are always offering special discounts on their already low prices for repeat customers.
If I had infants and children I would definitely make this store a monthly affair.

I got an email from this place advertising a .50 cents sale on all green slashed items on Labor Day. We went in the morning and there was nothing with a green slash. The email was just a ploy to get us in the store. I was expecting a bin or something with marked down things. So disappointed.

This is the one consignment store I can get behind.
I have been here on numerous occasions to buy clothes, furniture, shoes, and other things for my litter of kids. I have found more clothes here for children then the most professional big name companies in the world have offered me. Where places like Wal-​Mart (I apologize for the bad language) offer two or 3 styles of pants for a specific size group, Once Upon a Child has entire isles solely dedicated to one size. My biggest challenge is limiting myself to sticking with the number of items I planned on buying when I walked in.
I have stocked all 3 of my spawn with winter clothes, jackets, gloves, boots, beanies, pants, shirts, sweaters, tennis shoes, toys, and furniture over the last few months. My expense, less than $ 300 compared to the Wally World pricing that would have offered much less selection for around 3 times the cost.
Some of my finds include kids leather jackets for under $ 20, Converse shoes for $ 9, and a kids guitar for $ 15. Some of the items I find aren’t even uses and still get sold for a resale price.
Oh by the way the people are amazing. Without even being asked they help you run items out to the car, help you find items, and offer discount programs on top of the already low prices.
I count this as a definite WIN.

Great, huge consignment store for babies and kids. I love their selection of new hiar bows. Wish it was closer to me!

Very nice and these are all over the place… even in MN. They will buy very gently used baby and children’s items (I beleive up to size 12). You can also save money by buying your baby and children’s items here.
