It is a relief for parents and a step towards enviroment friendliness.but they need to have a spacious facility

Excellent store. Great selection, great prices. We often find items with tags still on for less than half of what they'd be retail. The only thing I've noticed is that sometimes the offers for stuff they buy seems low, but it's convenient, and they've got to make money.

Good selection of clothes however store is cramped and cluttered. I usually end up having to come twice as I can’t look through clothes, shoes and toys at once. No room for strollers in the aisle. Clothing is overpriced. I can rarely purchase sleepers from here as they are far too worn. A lot of outdated, worn out things for sale. When I try to bring in top brands, hardly worn, they don’t even take the good stuff lol. If I try to resell anything I purchased from their store and didn’t use, they don’t take it back because it’s “outdated or not gently worn” lol. They are always asking for baby gear but they buy for peanuts and that’s why they’re always looking. I can generally shop the sales on new items and score prices just $1-5 more than what they sell used for.

mike fabick

Get selection of Cute outfits decent prices

James Spence

A great place to find deals on kids clothing, toys, and accessories. Once your children are grown you can bring in items for a few dollars. Staff are pleasant and love children.

Tara Weltz

Store had moved to new location. Sign on door had new location and date store would be open so we attempted to navigate there. Store had paper over windows, no sign in door, no sign of life! Phoned number on website could not get through. Bad business practices:(

Why charge 13% tax when government sites clearly states only 5% should be charged on children’s clothing, footwear and toys???

Disorganized overcrowded store with poor customer service. You would think a store that relies on people bringing you merchandise would care more about keeping their customers happy. I have been a semi regular customer at this store for a few years and it is always difficult to find merchandise, often sizes are on the wrong racks, shoes are all in big bins and while sometimes I can appreciate the hunt sometimes it's very frustrating. All the baby items are in big bins and impossible to find what you are looking for. Today I finally had had enough when I was trying to find some cloth diapers and everything was all randomly torn apart and I finally found a set of cloth diapers that were all in a bag that was torn but I assumed they went together because they were all the same brand. I brought the bag and some pieces that were loose in the bin to purchase them the manager refused to sell any of them because she claimed that someone had gone through the bins and tried to make their own bags so I could not purchase any of the diapers. She would not even offer to look at what I was trying to buy to give me a price on it and said they would not sell any of it until she re-sorted through the whole box. And don't even bother trying to sell clothes here, I take them straight out of the dryer put them in a plastic bag, and get told that they can't accept any of it because of "pet hair". I give up not worth wasting your time when Old Navy has better prices and customer service than this.

Great experience! Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. For my first visit, I will definitely return. Very thankful for their eagerness to assist.

What kind of store makes pregnant women and children wet themselves and denies them the washroom in cases of emergency? Oh, one that has no compassion.

AJO Orense

Ivett Kecskes

Do not waste your time going there!!!! The girls there are very not nice, and definitely not helpful! Out of about a 100 clothes, all for 4 to 5 years old, most of them are brand new, they selected 7pc (but not the new once) and telling me they can't take the rest bcos they are bigger sizes???? Or the quality was bad???? So I end up with washing 2 hours with driving to location and waiting in store to finish pricing the clothes and got $0 dollar back... Thanks for this! Terrible customer service and a lot of wasted time and money... Shame on you guys!!! Really!!!!!!

Brent Greer

Great store to find cheap cool staff for your kids. Why wasting money and paying for the new clothes when you can have nice and cheap used one.

TK

Sabina Osadca

Watched as the employee barely went through an entire bin of baby girl clothing. She literally only looked at the top of what was in the bin and then when I was watching her she put her hand deeper into the bin. I made sure to only put in the bin clothing that wasn’t stained and gently used. I waited 45 minutes. 45 minutes I will never get back. They took 13 items. There was probably close to 70 items. I could probably make more selling the bin on Facebook marketplace. Lesson painfully learned.

James McGarry (JM)

It's a good place to recycle gently used children's clothes and toys. They will pay relatively well for what they take, everything has to be perfectly clean and nearly new. If you're buying, because they are so picky about what they take in, you're getting something nice. Some of the best deals we've found there are on American Girl accessories.

Cindy

Great picks in the store. Lots of great finds when you spend an hour or two. Clean and neat in store.

Andrea Arnett

A bit tightly packed into a small store but big selection and great to find used kids clothes in good condition

Alexandre Alcantara

(Translated) Store with large amount of used products intended for children. You can find footwear, clothing, clothing, toys, books, room decorations, strollers, food chair, and a wide variety of offal. The clothes and footwear are well organized by types and sizes, which facilitates the localization of the products. Affordable prices. Well located and with good parking area. The staff are attentive and always help you as defendants. The book section is not too big. You can find toys still in original packaging. Some products are new. (Original) Loja com grande quantidade de produtos usados destinados ao público infantil. É possível encontrar calçados, roupas, agasalhos, brinquedos, livros, enfeites para quartos, carrinhos de bebê, cadeira para alimentação, e uma grande variedade de miudezas. As roupas e calçados são bem organizados por tipos e tamanhos, o que facilita a localização dos produtos. Preços acessíveis. Bem localizado e com boa área de estacionamento. Os funcionários são atenciosos e ajudam sempre que demandados. A seção de livros não é muito grande. É possível encontrar brinquedos ainda em embalagem original. Alguns produtos são novos.

Friendly staff. Good selection.

Provoked Immigrant From Jamaica

A place to sell or offer up your gently worn clothes it's not much fund, but I rather have a dollar for clothes than throwing them out and not getting anything for it. What can you say? I was going to throw out my daughter's clothes, but google searched how I could sell my used garments, found this place got our trade my daughter called my small pocket change, and I am happy another family will have the stuff my daughter has grown out of or items she didn't even get to wear.

K.

Staff was not welcoming. Prices were very high in comparison to other once upon a child stores and for quality of clothes. They also do not donate your clothes to any charity. That is a massive reason for me personally. Do not reccomend this location.

Bradley Richards

THE place to get kids stuff!!

Dave artty

Greg Phillips

Great selection of budget friendly, used children's clothing, books, etc

Jody B

Very organized with fair prices

Lisa Farouse

They bought a 200.00 high chair from us for 20 bucks and then sold it for 70$ lol... definitely look into selling items that you want to get a fair amount back for elsewhere. I mean i get it-- if you want to get rid of something and just dont have the time to do the FB marketplace thing anywhere online and want the pawn shop vibe by all means this is the place to do it.

Awesome selection of clothing and toys for babies, great prices and the best customer service in Guelph. They even wiped my baby's toy down with an alcohol swab before giving it to him!

Good place to visit if you have child. Prices need to be lower as it is second hand shop

Heath Morrell

Awesome place !!!

Tammy Peters

Love this store .... already great prices then they have killer sales!! Staff is usually amazing although lately some of their newer hires can be a bit snooty

Chantel King-James

Awful service. Those girls care more about themselves then customers. I enjoyed listening to a whole half hour of the front cashier joke about a missing receipt. She asked me if I wanted to wait in store or they will call me when they are done. 2 hours later I returned for them to tell me they have not even started my order and that walk ins become first. So I asked her if that made sense being that no one advised me of this before leaving. She half smiled and told me she would start right away. 35 mintues later... She did not even move towards my bin. Very disorganized. Needless to say I LEFT WITHOUT money and my kids garbage bag of clothes. Sad. Thought it was chartible. Do not go to this location.

Pamela Martin

Romano Glasgow

Katrina Paty

Great selection of clothing in great shape with awesome prices. Only negative thing I can say is that there was a massive scent when you walk in. Lots of air freshener or something... way too much.

Good store. They are pretty choosy at this location for what brands they’ll take and won’t take. I walked in with a tub of baby clothes and they only took about 1/3 of it. I’ve heard other locations take more.

Alannah Miller

Horrible store. Dirty rude employees said my stuff was crap and broken. Told me it would be 20 minutes to go through my stuff then told a different time Employees didn't know what they were looking for had to go through it again Very unorganized employees and store I wouldn't recommend it at all.

Always find whatever I need there, at good prices too !!!

Mrs Karen D

Smaller stuff but with loads of baby and kids stuff! Huge selection and super reasonably priced!!

Brent Calaway

Used children's clothing, toys, and accessories. They buy back used items as long as they're in good condition. Just don't expect to get what you paid for them. They are making money after all.

Rachel H

I visit this store often for clothes and toys for our little one. They do a great job sorting, posting new special items online and will hold something if you call in for up to 3 hours. While the wait in line can be long during big events, like the recent winter outdoor launch, it's worth it when you're getting such great product at such amazing prices!

Maxwell Summerlee

Incredible quality and selection of used goods, with exceptional customer service and care. Points program is perfect for growing families!

Sean Alexander

Megan Barclay

By far my favorite place to get used kids clothes.. It is a bit cluttered and hard to navigate if you've got a kid in tow, but I've found so many treasures here. Especially when they have their seasonal sales, this is the best place to get gently used baby clothes.

Wendy Davis Loftin

Always has a good selection of things to choose from.

Chengbo Qian

Stephanie Gillet

This is one of the best places to go for secondhand, gently used and new clothes as well as used baby gear. When they have deals going on you can get quite a bit for just a little amount of money which is perfect for any struggling or thrifty family. The building inside is a little cramped with the stuffed hangers but not impossible to navigate. I wouldnt recommend bringing a huge stroller in. The staff are friendly as well.

Nicole D

Waxing Sustainable

Used to be very impressed with OUAC, but they've made it far too difficult to navigate the store safely with a stroller and accompanying children due to the tight aisles. Equipping the store with decent carts would be beneficial. The prices are also rising, making it only a deal to shop used if you take advantage of their major sales. Otherwise sales for new items at The Children's Place and Old Navy online rival and sometimes totally beat the prices of Once Upon A Child.

JohnandKrista Poidevin

There is an area with some toys for kids to play with. Decent selection and decent prices.

Amanda Mathewson

Valerie Schuett

Great place to get gently used clothing and items. Safety measures are in place to ensure a happy safe shopping experience.

William Baryo

Solid place for second hand kids clothes.

Williams Family

Overpriced stuff, customer service is not that great and its hard to navigate around the store cuz its so crowded with clothes and other items

Logan Q. Stronach

Love this local business, always friendly, full of all you could need and great prices

Amanda Clark

Kestrel Delorme

Might be a decent place to shop but I would recommend selling your own baby items (swings, playpens, baby seats etc..) I sold a travel basinette that my baby used as a newborn, and a swing that she never took too. No stains, rips or missing pieces. They gave me $52 for both. When brand new they each separatley cost over $140. I'm new to this and this wasnt a great first time experience, I wasnt expecting dollar for dollar but certainly at least $40-45 a piece I'd be happy with, not $26. And being new to this I had no idea what to say or how to object they took my items like it was a done deal before handing me my money and I feel ripped off, so I'm creating this review to prevent future parents from being taken advantage of.

Andrew Fraser

Consignment store with cheap kids clothes, very picky with what you drop off but also means that the clothing is good when you buy it.

Janice Buswell-Lyons

A great choice to lower ecological foot print and save money.

Lisa Marie

This store had so many cute clothes for great prices. Will probably not shop anywhere else for my kids clothes because they have pretty much everything you need here.

Crystal Fisher

Love this for used clothing for kids .

Gary Bailey

Kate

Marc James

Have had many great success finding clothing and accessories for my daughter here. The trade in program is great, getting money back for clothing your children grow out of and receiving cash or purchasing clothing in store.

Jane Korvemaker

Good items to buy, but as a consignment they don't always take what they advertise they take. For example, I brought in a baby bathing suit amidst other items, it was returned to me with other rejected items while they told me they were now looking for things like bathing suits. Clearly they weren't or they didn't actually look through the bag.

I was very happy to see them get a bigger location because they're old store was so crowded . going there today and receiving the customer service I was not happy .they had their things overpriced they have PAW Patrol used shoes for $30 you can go buy a brand new for 25 not happy with that store will not be returning.

Randy Robert

A well lit, spacious second hand store for children's clothing, toys, games and items like strollers and high chairs. The prices are excellent. The clothing is usually clean and lightly used and often unused. An excellent choice for the young family to purchase children's necessities without breaking the bank.

Tahir Ashraf

Nice place to buy stuff for new born and toddlers . Very good customer service.Very reasonable price

nicole mcnaughton

Robin de Bled

A great place to shop for lightly used kids toys, strollers, cribs, etc. I find the clothes to be pretty slim pickings, at least for my taste, but there are lots of good quality, well priced toys.

Great place

Staff were rude to my mother and I. Barely received any $$ for the items they chose to take of my items. I brought all my items in nicely folded and the lid could easily fit on the bin. When I got it back the lid couldn't fit on the bin and everything was just thrown in haphazardly. It's a strong never again for me.

ana alice lopes

A great second hand store for kids. Their items look good and sometimes I even find brand new stuff there for great prices. I always come back!

Sarah Kelleher

This store was so great! We can't wait to go back!

Nick Baum

shona zavarella

Only bad thing I can say about this location is that they are extremely picky with stuff they buy. Other than that it's a great place to shop.

Ryan Rizzuto

Great place to find clothes/shoes/boots for growing kids that won't break the bank.

Ali R

I brought in bags of clearly separated items as per season and age, the bags I got back were completely random, a complete mess, winter is in with summer, they took half of outfits, leaving me shirts with no pants making it difficult to try to resell anywhere else, and gave me only about $1 an item, I left feeling robbed, I will never sell clothes to them again, and I regret selling what I have....

Raheem Khan

Danielle Best

It's a good store, nice selection, clean, friendly, etc. The prices don't reflect used items though...things have definitely gotten more expensive to the point where I might as well go buy brand new instead.

Alisha Smith

Found everything I was looking for and for a steal! The store was very clean and the staff were super nice! I've been here numerous times and I plan to go back ! The prices can't be beat, and the quality is usually very good! I highly recommend this store !

Michael Polyzotis

Wouldn't take any of my items

I love that you can buy second hand. But the store is a disaster.. I bring clothes in to have them bought off me. They dont put anything back in the totes nice. I understand they are moving quickly, though I can't even close my tote after they bought stuff off me . Super disappointed in the way they just toss my items they don't want back in. Also how they separate my outfits after being asked not to... not sure I will be back. We have shopped here lots but after this being the 2nd time . They have lost my business.

Oleg Vlastelicic (Mike Benc)

Whoever gives more then a star to this place is a fake review or confused person. This is a modern day scam, they preying on people that need kids stuff. Today I visited this place with my wife and found Walmart items for 30 percent more expensive. Baby clothing is double to triple then Value Vilage for same condition used stuff. Stroller they have is same price or bit more expensive then Walmart and they offer only 7 days warranty and Walmart gives 90 days money back. I asked today for a brand new booster seat they had it was priced at 30$ And I showed cashier Walmart.ca price 20$ She told me yeah some items are more expensive here cause people that price them sometimes price them high. Don’t waste time here. This is a trift shop with variety of kids items priced at ridiculously high price. Will never come again here nor will recomand this place to anyone. I recomand stay away from hustlers and scammers.

Danielle Sedore

The store is big. Things are sorted out nicely when I went there, so I didn't feel overwhelmed. Lots more collections for boys.

Michaela Fernandes

Been to several consignment stores and by far my favourite store/location. It's well organized and stocked up nicely (even had some challenges picking off the racks they have an abundance of selections)! Found the pricing to ve extremely reasonable and consistent. Friendly staff as well. Definitely will be returning here for future buys. Only disappointment is that the aisles aren't entirely accessible - stroller/wheelchair friendly, mainly towards the bathroom, cash area, and toy section.

Odys Hernandez Rodriguez

Stacy Fidler (Thrifty Thoughts)

Very disappointed in the customer service. The manager and the owner were both very rude. I will not be buying from this store again. Plus the store is crowded and not organized in the toy department. It is all over the floor and it is a mess! I tried to look for some things my boys like and I couldn't even get to the bins. I will shop at other second hand store that have better customer service and that don't treat their customers like they are not wanted.

Rohit Das

A must visit place for all parents.. Good clothes if you take the patience to find them... Plus you can give them your existing clothes so it feels like you're giving something back for everyone...

Dayee Hook

Overpriced store for used items. I'd rather pay $1 more and get it new. Sold some stuff here for pennies on the dollar. Don't know why I even did that. Cramped and weird smelling place. Staff was nice all time we went there though so no complaints there.

Best baby clothes ever! I'm a new parent ; if my wife loves the clothes; I love the clothes. Listen up men.

Very rude staff I called them after they've been open for only two hours and they told me I can't drop my clothes off because they have reached their "capacity" and when I came in the next day with a bag of clothes they said I have to organize them in a box because whatsoever they to not except bags,I am very disappointed and am never going back to that store.

I came in to purchase items during a combination clearance sale and multiple item deal. Katharine took the time to ensure that I understood which items would not qualify for the multiple item discount because of sizing, and she also took the time to show me where specialty items were located- never knew there were cloth diapers for sale! In addition to being helpful she was very friendly and definitely made me feel confident in my purchases.

Very crowded and has multiple levels which makes it awkward

Roxana Murray

It's a good (if not the only one) place to sell your kiddos old stuff, which is helpful, (not bedding or stuffed animals). But it's a bit pricy, concidering that it's a 2nd hand store. There's some items worth to check out like some of the clothing and toys, but noticed that you can get new ones on amazon for some of those prices:) sorry!

Zack

Really well organized store.

Gabriela Zamorano

Passed by Once Upon A Child on a Saturday afternoon. I had only previously gone to the one on bay view and Eglinton. When I stepped into this one I was extremely disappointed. The store was a mess! Clothes on the floor, bins all over the floor making it very hard to walk (store is cramped to begin with)-just overall really messy-to the point that I went in and walked straight out.

Derek Lacombe

An amazing place for baby and child-related consignment and new items.

Great selection and pricing on lightly used toys and baby gear. Be sure to look through larger items to make sure all parts are included. Narrow aisles and overflow of items make it a bit tricky to pass by others in some areas.

Amazing place to shop!! Usually a good selection And range of sizes when I was a kid my mom used to get special occasion clothing for me here and you couldn’t even tell that it was used. Their standards for what they accept are very high and the prices are reasonable 99% of the time. On another note if you have good condition used kids clothing. You could totally bring it here and possibly get some money back Which is a bonus!! Especially with how fast kids grow out of things. Every experience I have had with this store has been amazing the staff is always friendly. Would defiantly recommend this store to everyone. Even if you don’t have children It’s a good place to pick up a birthday gift, baby shower gift, or even christmast gift for friends or family.

Raylene Doerksen

Always friendly staff and prices are wonderful. Have been shopping here for my son when I’m in a pinch for money and he needs new clothes. Never had any issues. Love this place!

Christine Ferrari

Large selection but clothes/ most of the store is very poorly organized size wise. The toys look like they have been used and abused scattered throughout the isles. Come without kids if you can because you will need the time to dig through things to find a good deal in the right size.

Alisha Bright

Clayton Perry

Great selection of quality used childrens clothing and various other child care items. Aisles are on the narrow side.

Sarah Eckert

Love love love this place! Outrageous sales several times a year, great prices all around. The selection is outstanding. All types of shoes for all sizes, all sorts of anything you could want for your child, and a great mix of shirts with all designs you could ever want.

Workers are not frie Ely. I asked for help from 3 different workers and all of them just seemed so u happy and were far from kind. Girls that work here are so young and just don't seem able to deliver good customer service I recommend Oakville location

Katie Bear

#1: the store is a huge mess all the time... can't get through isles with a stroller, or just single walking. #2: the staff is rude and unprofessional. They wear really revealing clothing (for working in a children's store) and have personal conversations out load around customers and children. They pay no attention to who's in the store #3: they play inappropriate music for the targeted customers and their children. #4: they're always "over stocked" and barely buy any of your items. Always call ahead! I had a big bag of clothes and they took 5 items. #5: I find the store over priced for used junk. I live close to this location and was excited when it opened because I was pregnant. I've been there a handful of times and hated it every time I went. Alas... I would rather by second hand than brand new for a fast growing kid... but I just get so turned off at this place. I'd rather hit up value village, they have better sales too.

Great prices and often have really great sales. Sometimes selection of toddler boys clothes is pretty small, but they buy what people bring in, so I don't think there's much they can do about that. Clothing, equipment and toys have been carefully inspected, so you can be confident that everything is in really great condition.

Very reasonable place to buy gently used children's clothes, especially baby items. They also have things like toys, books and small furniture. I have only heard bad things about selling clothes to this store so would not recommend if you're looking for any real cash for your used kids clothes BUT if you're willing to donate either way then it would be worth your time to take items there.

Wide variety of items. Almost everything you could need for babies and kids. Nice staff. All the bad reviews are questionable. I had a good experience here.

Canadian crafter

I have been going there off and on for 5 years. There is 1 manager who is rude and mean. It has happened too many times, i have stopped shopping there altogether now, i would NOT RECOMMEND giving this place your money or your clothes. The people at the Niagara falls store are nice.

sheila Gratton

The manager was really rude .....I bought close for my one month old and they did not fit so I took them back the next day and they said they don’t take that brand, and the others had wear and tear ....over priced Items and bad customer service the Sherwood park location is a lot better , they care about there customer . Don’t go here if you want to pay an arm and a leg and get terrible service .

This location is horrible. I went there in September with a huge tote bin of stuff. Not only were the young girls there rude and extremely ignorant but literally gave me attitude for dropping off so much stuff. Then to top it off, they only took half the clothes and gave me barely anything for what they took. U could tell they just didn't want to sort anymore and said "forget it" at half. Never going back to this location again

I live in Toronto but prefer to go to this store instead of the 3 stores in Toronto. This store is much larger than the ones in Toronto. The staff is way more friendly and helpful (I've told the management twice). They have a large selection of used toys, clothes, books, etc. They also have some new/unused items. They have special liquidation events where you can get things even cheaper than their regular sale price. They make sure whatever you bring in is clean (No smudges or wear-and-tear). No batteries are included in their toys. They won't take clothes that don't sell well. They give loyalty points (1 point for every $20 bought/sold to them). It used to be that 20 points gets you 20% off your entire purchase but in Aug 2017 when they converted to use Vincinity, it now takes 40 points to get 20% off.

Staff not helpful, indifferent. Pointed out a sticky puddle of something on floor in front of cash. She just shrugged and said "yeah, somebody will clean it up". I'd hate to slip in that mess. Found 2 of same toy with 2 different prices. Would not change price on higher priced item. Been there 3 times - not going back!

Jessica Ross

It's a good clothing store free for kids clothes, it's honestly a hit or miss with finding certain things you're looking for... The prices are usually good for the clothing and usually in really good condition considering it second-hand.

Lorraine Winslow

Owner is great. She is kind is always thinking of her customers. I always recommend parents to come to this store when searching for great finds with great prices. I have heard from many mothers and fathers that this place is wonderful. Candice Thew is also a really great employee. You can tell she cares about where she works and the customers that come in.

Maccnificent

This place is one of the large locations but the staff is beyond useless. Rude and extremely slow, they also do not expect you to take the clothing back that they don't want, as if you're willing to donate it to them. Save yourself the hassle and go to the Oakville location, much better and professional.

Andrea Cunningham

I order online every season now, buying the $50 seasonal bags. I can tell thought is put into what is chosen for these packages. The value of what I receive vs what I've paid for them is wonderful. I am always happy with my experience and received product.

Dropped in randomly after a different OUAC told me my buy would be two hour, store took me right away got my buy done in less than ten minutes. The staff was nice. The store was beyond nice, super organize and clean. Best location I have seen my far! Keep up the good work :D

trista watson

Worst once upon a child I have ever been to!! I bought rubber boots with holes in both of them. A pair of pants with the tag saying "4t" but when I looked on the tag on the inside it said baby! A pair of shoes that said size 8 on the tag but when I got home and looked on the inside it said size 7. Clearly the people working there don't check items thourghly and can't seem to size items properly! Never going there again!!!

Tiana Fillmore

Kirubel Gebretsadik

Good children shope, and good price ????

Mandy Werner

This place is a disaster... it is completely over-stuffed. They need to stop accepting clothes and items and sell some of it first! There are folded up strollers and infant tubs spilling out into the already narrow aisles, the clothing racks are so densely packed that it's difficult to move the hangers to see each article. I'm all for second hand items, but if it were more organized and a little less claustrophobic in there, I'd spend more time and actually get a closer look at everything in there! Edit: employees seemingly hate their jobs. I was waiting to buy one item and two girls behind the counter folding clothes. They looked at each other and laughed. Then one of them finally rolled her eyes and came over to cash me out. Oh and the washrooms were appalling.

Nancy M (Nmarji)

The racks are too full. Too many stuff in the aisles. Not much space to move around espically if you go shopping with your baby stroller.

An interesting experience. While they have a large selection of gently used baby items, the store appears crammed with items and disorganized. Besides the physical appearance, you can’t beat the prices on some items. Customer service is non-existant however and I can see why. During a recent visit, the team leader/manager named “Duff” was barking orders and shaming his employees right in front of customers. The staff appeared embarrassed and upset. I can see why the store appears uncared for and there’s a lack of service, low employee moral is defenitly a factor here. I genuinely feel bad for the employees. Overall, the time spent in this store is dismal to say the least. I think management needs a lesson in positive intent and how to behave around employees and customers for that matter.

Jenna Silvestri

I bought my baby's first mattress from this place only paid 90$ for it. Plus I bought his graco change table $40!! I could believe it awesome deal. It's worth BN on the net $360. Omg!!<<33

I have mixed experiences with this location. I have found some great things here over the years and have been a semi regular customer since it opened. My feedback is mostly around the buying process. I hope that they can find some way to be more consistent when purchasing items. I find the buying process to be extremely inconsistent. I have brought things in, and thought "wow, they bought all of that". Other times, I have had items that they refuse to buy for a tiny tiny mark. The buyer had a hard time finding the tiny mark again to point out to me. The section I was looking to purchase in, while I waited, had way bigger stains and flaws/marks on the clothes than what I had, and truthfully, some of the stuff I had brought in was in better condition. It leaves me confused. When I asked the lady about it, she explained that it depends on the buyer. I understand subjectivity, but there should be some work done in terms of consistency. One item in particular they refused to buy, was never even worn by my son and was purchased from their store three weeks ago. It was the exact same condition as when I bought it....so I can't figure that one out. Also, I would caution to be aware of some price points here. If you catch a good sale, brands like George, Old Navy and Children's Place can often be purchased brand new at the store for around the same price brand new.

Some nice stuff can be found here although prices are quite steep for used clothing. I found limited options for what I was looking for.

Sam Deveau

Ilya Samoylenko

I brought them 5 bags of almost new kids clothes and 1 bag of toys. Some items had been worn couple of times only - we got them new from our rich relative in Vancouver. There were sturdy Ecco goretex shoes in great condition among the stuff. They only took 1 item and paid me $3. The rest they said was worn or stained. ???? Why didn't they tell me they did not need any stuff? I wasted 2 hours of my time that's the main reason I am writing this. Should have to Value Village and got some discount at least

They posted a bike on instagram for 45. When we went into store, the bike was 50. They said 45 was a human error and it was 50. We asked to speak to the manager and they still would honour the mistake like most stores would. It's a big disappointment and will never step foot back in that store.

Lindsay “Lindzer” Mudford

Hit or miss. They usually take a really long time to process your stuff. Been told numerous times it would only be 30mins to an hour and turns out it was more like 2 or 3 hours.

Dominique Dumoulin

kaid Gerz

The place is really terrible, do not squeeze between rows, everything is dirty, prices are too high for used things. The owner as I understand greedy in the salary that the staff is not happy with their work. Talise always washes things before selling and strokes, and in this store a spattering attitude to many subtleties of commerce. Go and regret that they did not listen to the advice).

Tanya Marie

High prices for used goods

Honest Reviewer

Today I brought in a large garbage bag of clothing. All items were clean, name brands and in excellent condition, I made sure to take out anything with to much wear and donated to a local charity. I waited over an hour and only 3 items were taken totalling 5$. I was told my other garments were too worn. Total bull! I placed the 5$ towards my purchase and left with my large bag of clothes. I decided to take them to the OAC in Stoney Creek where almost everything else was taken and I was given just under $40. I will never return to this location, it was a total waste of time and gas. Clearly the person doing the purchasing needs retraining. The store was also jam packed and the shoe section was completely disorganized. I'll never go back.

Diana Bar

First time you go and sell is good (as in $) but after, they give you nickels for your items.

Went to buy a jolly jumper with a stand and couldn't believe the price. Asking 169.99 for an item I can get at Walmart for 109.99 or Babies r Us for 119.99. I was not impressed as they advertise to be 70% below retail cost and walked out.

Sabrina Ancel

Today I was told by the manager of this St Albert Trail location, that he would not serve me. Why? Because I'm mask exempt. HE WOULDNT SERVE ME BECAUSE OF A MASK EXEMPTION. I was properly clothed and I wasn't abusive (reasons to refuse service). Shop owners have the right to choose how they treat their customers and because of his discrimination, he has lost a customer. I will go elsewhere to consign.

Worst Customer Service ever. It's a children place and no smile is given with any of the counter staff. Brought in a couple bag of clothing and at the end they only picked 11 items and told us that they were overstocked. Could of explained this before lugging the bag on the counter. We were in the store while they sorted through the clothes. They knew who we were and they knew we were waited for results. I noticed they were done, because the lady was focusing on another task. But I wasn't sure, so we waited and waited and waited, patiently. Finally I looked over and ask if they were done. And they were, like long ago. There weren't many people in the store. What does it take to notify us that they were done? NOT friendly at all. I always say if don't like your job, don't be in it. Not going to this location again. Give it a 1 because I had too.

I use this to sell my end of the line items. If I've already tried to sell on my own, and would rather get a few bucks than nothing at all. Clothes are the hardest to sell, I would not bother unless you have good condition coats or shoes in season. Beware that part of the tactic is to make you wait so that you end up buying something as well! Call ahead to find out if they need your item to avoid disappointment and/or a wasted visit.

Very disappointed in in the lack of customer service I received today. Brought in two full bags of excellent used items, some never used and they didn't take one item and I did not get an explanation why, which is against their policy. Not a word was said to me. I honestly dont even think they looked as it looked the exact same when as how I placed them in. Freshly washed and no pet hair, and we don't smoke. \so i'm assuming the employees were just lazy tonight. I'm also disgusted that they refuse to let children use the washroom. It's a children store for crying out loud. I always hear such bad things about this location and they have lost me as customer (and everyone on my Facebook apparently) This store is a scam, Walmart leggings that sell for $4 and they are selling for $5.50?? But they wont take my Old Navy items that have never been used? Get out of here. Also, there was a girl behind the counter on her phone. Update your standards and hire some more polite employees.

Difficult to find outfits, and they don't bother to clean the shoes/boots before putting them out. Definitely not my preferred method for getting second-hand clothing.

gamekid360

The prices here for used children clothes can be quite high at times. If your looking to sell any clothing (which they promote & have the option of) don't be surprised if 95% of the clothing you bring gets denied because all they want is "Name Brand" clothes and "In Style" which is ridiculous not only that they also low-ball you and offer you a dollar for a piece of clothing if your lucky and then they go and sell it for triple the price; I understand that is how this business works but its definitely not worth your time and effort to sell clothes here just go be generous and donate it elsewhere instead.

First off this is a review from when I was in there looking for items. Most of the clothes were so worn out that I wouldnt even put my child in, secondly the customer service I received was horrible and I felt like a terrible mom being in there. Lastly now women are speaking up about how they cant even use the washroom even though they are ready to burst. 100% wont be recommending you to anyone and until you change it will stay that way.

It so disorganized, which makes finding anything difficult. Staff should show more urgency to customer line ups. Often customers literally start forming a line down the aisle which makes it more difficult for other customers to shop. When you really look at the majority of their product they are priced the same and as a customer you want to a difference in mass market brands such as George from walmart or Joe fresh compared to more expensive brands. The value village next door does a better job of showing price variance.

Aaron H (BioHaZardPyro)

Joey Findley

Utterly disappointing! Staff was unwelcoming and revived disapproving looks from staff as soon as they realize I was there to sell clothing that my child had grown out of. Unclear as to why they turned down many nice and in good shape clothing. What they did buy was worth way more they what they were willing to offer (such as brand new pair of snow boots and pair of Toms shoes). Wasn’t worth my time or effort to drive all the way across town... lesson learned!

Usually really good. Never quite understand why you can literally by something off of them and return it months later unused and they wont accept it. Weird. The manager at this store. Sonya is really rude and negative. I asked by they would not buy something off me...out of curiousity. Since they ask if I have any questions. And she shouted from accross the counter " WE ARE ALL HUMAN AT THE END OF THE DAY" ummm ok? Sorry for offending you? So rude. So unneccessary. But the nice girl at the front with the short hair was so kind and apologized on her behalf. So it made up for the super rude manager. I feel sorry for the enployees who work with her. She must be a real treat.

I was impressed for sure...neat and tidy..almost giving the cloths away. I wish we had this store when my children where small

tina

They waste your time. The worker sees me come in with 3 bags in total. One large bag but its only a 1/4 full and 2 grocery size bags. So not really that full. I get a form to fill out and got it filled out in full. The worker comes back to me and tells me that since I had so much that they can't take it at 5pm. I let her know my displeasure with this since she could have said just hold on and let me check and see if we can still accept new clothes. She didn't do that and I was made to fill out the whole form and then she came back to me and told me she/they couldn't and she even supposdly spoke to 2 managers. I only saw 1 other worker there so who was the second manager?? This place is not the greatest too. The spacing of this place is so tight and is really hard to move around. Your better off by selling your stuff else where.

They have an okay selection of clothes. More girl clothes then boys clothes. Its WAY to crowded you can hardly get threw. Theres too many toys out all over the place. If they relocated to a bigger space itd give it a 4.

I did not like how they made me bring all the stuff into the store and later telling me that they wont take anything, but only two things. Like why did not they ask me first what I had or maybe looked in my car would of save me a lot of time bringing everything in/out. I have seen toys that they sell there and its not always as new or in great conditions. Like all the clothes that I brought in where in good conditions and the toys for a used store I think they were good. And the staff was not very nice! Like I think almost everything I brought they could sell there. I mean last time I had a look there was a lot of clothes in poor condition. Do you guys take donations? If so why did you take my stuff?

Hopefully you can get the bathroom issue resolved. Until then I won't be supporting your store.

I love this store! I often find clothes that have original tags still on. Very well priced and I don’t worry about my kids wearing through what I bought. A great place to find #oilers jerseys for WAY less.

If i could give this store 10 stars i would!!! 10/10 amazing!!! Especially during this lockdown! Only place i can get clothes and other things for my growing kids!!! ????????

Absolutely amazing store for any parent out there! Good for school shopping good for snow suits I'm always going there for shoes and boots and sandals. I have four children who never complain about the clothes that I bring home from there they do an amazing job and they only accept clothes that are in excellent used condition!

Val B

I like this place, never had any rude service. They take what they take and it’s fair. Selection is just ok but I never left that place empty handed. I was actually surprised to find some great toys there this week.

I love the deals and the clothes but the St Catharines location is really tight, especially if you have a stroller in tow.

Much nicer than other Once upon a child locations in Toronto. Best for kids under 2

Lord Open

This has got to be the WORST store in Ontario. Every single employee is snotty and rude. I have had great experiences at the St. Catharines location. Every single visit to the Niagara Falls location is unpleasant. Will never visit NF OUAC ever again. I hope this location gets boarded up.

Very unprofessional and rude. After hearing the so called "key holder" "Crystal" call my wife rude/inconsiderate because we couldn't take all the stuff back in one trip I had to take the phone and speak to her myself. We have dealt with them several times and have never had an issue. I look forward to speaking to a Manager on Monday as I don't appreciate anyone addressing my wife like or myself in her tone/manner. She even told me how quick I should be able to get to and from my home to pick up the rest of the goods.

Good selection of things but quite overpriced. A store sticker on boots said $5 but they were selling them for $14.

Amy Conway

Heard amazing things about this place, have yet to see for myself! Will update review once I can get myself there :)

Mallory Floyd

I will never shop here again! The manager shows zero compassion and flat out lies!! I lost my stroller and found out that a woman had gone in to sell a stroller matching the description of mine. When I called and asked about a stroller (describing mine), the manager did not go check and then lied to me and said they haven't bought a stroller in several days. Well we went to look anyway and there was my stroller. And on the tag it says it was bought 2 days ago, just like I had told her on the phone. When running a store selling children's clothing and accessories, you are required to show compassion. This should be a loving environment but you do not get that at this store.

Good selection you just have to dig to find things.

Char Char

This location as well as the Southside Edmonton location discriminate against people who have medical expemptions and physically cannot wear a mask. After shopping there for the past 5 years, today I was discrimated against. I was told to wait outside as if I were a diseased leper. Then I was told they no longer serve people with medical exemptions. The store owner, Norman Ho, said people who cannot wear a face covering are not welcome back when I phoned to inquire about this. I wasn't offered any other options. Sad day for shopping for second hand childrens clothes. This effects the children, Howard. I hope you know this.

Connie Kyriacou

They won't take returns past 7 days but instead say they'll buy it back from you at a quarter of the price you paid for what you bought. Also tried to resell clothes I bought there that didn't fit and they told me "while they are all nice clothes they're not quite what they're looking for" ????

Holly Mitchell

Melissa Penner

Not impressed with processing/management - not honest or trustworthy. I called at 4:15 pm to make sure I didnt need to make an appointment and that the counter was open when I dropped off clothes. I was told the counter was open until 6 pm. When I arrived 35 min later (after finding child care & dealing with rush hour traffic), I was told they decided to close the counter 10 minutes ago (before 5 pm). If you are dropping off clothes go early morning and hope they will accept them.

Debbie P

If you're looking to make money for your clothes, you're better off selling on Kijiji, or having a garage sale. This location is way too picky. I've been twice, and I will NEVER go back again. Not worth the drive or the processing time.

Gerrit Scargo

Amazing place for great deals on kids clothes and toys

Miqsh Ak

With the exception of the store needing some better organization around the aisles..this place is an absolute gem! Clothes, books, strollers, high table, little baby accessories, jackets, toys are all plenty! The new stuff seem a little sparse but the gently used and recycled material were PLENTY! I was more than happy to purchase what I required for amazing never before seen prices in here. Definitely worth checking out for new parents and young kids!

Chris Rakobowchuk

Hard to walk around the store with a stroller and it's a baby to kid store unreasonable pricing as well.

We come to Saint John every few months, and this place is always on our list of stops! I remember the first time I dropped clothes off, and I was amazed at how much they gave me for what little they took of my stash - I even asked the girl if she had the number right as I was expecting less than half that amount ha ha. Never dissapointed when we go there, and my little girl loves trying out the toys, and trying on the shoes ha ha. Going back tomorrow For the easter egg-stravaganza!

I expected more. The clothes and especially the shoes are in poor shape, considering the clothes they sell are bought by them, not donated. I give away clothes for free in better condition than this. This was my first and last time at the store.

This is our go to spot for getting the kids their clothes. We always find that we are looking for, and it becomes an “event” almost like a scavenger hunt. It’s clean, organized by age, and gender, and my kids feel liked a store “just for them”. Thank you for the snow pants!

Not bad of a place, prices seem a bit high for a used clothing store. But you just have to hunt a bit more for a deal.

Christina Bridge

Great deals

justsayno toweed

Good prices but there's no room to move around in there. The isles are to narrow. If someone else is in it you have to go around. A lot of the toys are high up so you can't see or reach them.

Adam Cameron

This is a good store for finding cheap used clothing for your child. I have bought many pieces of clothing for my daughter at great prices, and sold plenty back. They have a wide array of toys, chairs, diaper genies, etc, as well. The books are very cheap too, and they often have sales where the books go on half price, so I usually pick up a few for $1-$2 each. My only reason for giving the 3 stars instead of more is the store is crowded, especially at the back where the toys are, you practically have to wade through the toys they just have too many. I know its because they just don't have the space, but the store would do better in a larger location.

Nataliya Golub

Honestly, I came here three times already and I still don't know why I came back two more times if I did not like the first time. First off all they sell items a bit overpriced compared to other locations. Staff is okay. Nobody was rude but not that nice either. Besides you mostly come for the merchandise, which is poor. So i highly recommend the oakville location on trafalgar, but not this one.

William Richardson

Nice store for used stuff.. some new things in there.. Will go back.

Katherine Polgrabia

Lots of selection and friendly staff.

Natalie Gaivoronski

The staff at this location are extremely unfriendly... except for one of the employees there. It says on the website itself - no appointment needed when dropping items off yet they gave me a 5-6 hour wait for when my things were went through and no where on the website does it say they only accept items brought in, in a box or bin. I brought my items in, in a bag and one of the workers gave me an extremely hard time for doing so - I told her It was my first time and I was just going to leave then if it’s such a big hassle. She then gave me a hard time and a half ass explaination and that she’d make an acception. The store is waaayyyyyy over packed and dirty, there’s barely any room to move around with a stroller which is odd being a children’s store? The prices for some of the items are over priced and not worth it - even some of the unopened toys you could find cheaper at a winners. Over all after i’m done with my one drop off it’ll for sure be my first and last. I do NOT recommend this location/store. Hopefully the other locations are better.

Extremely crowded. Lady I assume was the manager was short with staff in front of store full if customers. Stroller that I'm guessing was for sale in middle of aisles so you couldn't shop down those aisles. Had Christmas music playing on the middle of October. Pushing the season way too early. This place is going down hill.

Ashley Bruce

Have been to this location for the last 3 years. No idea if they switched management but I have spent hours washing and going through every piece of item to make sure of no wear and tear and removed any items that had stains. Puma, Jordan and Nike, TH and a lot of nice clothing. I dropped off a large amount and recieved a call back 5 minutes later saying there was an udor which is not possible they were just washed. My husband went back to get the clothes and smelt it infront of the ladies and gentlemen that just took over the shift and they had said there was no smell and they would go through it again, it was all neatly folded as I had left it, like they never touched any of it. Got another call 20 minutes later saying they went threw it and to come in. We went in the next morning and the clothes were not neatly put back, but if they went through it yesterday and it was put back neatly why is it not now? Did they not go threw it yesterday and lied about it or did they just toss the clothes around this time to make it look like they had? They took only a couple pieces of clothing and told me everything else was worn and out of date...the clothes they took came from the top of one container, I know because I put it together. They wasted hours of my time and they lie to their customers. Do not recommend this location for donations/trades. Very disappointed, any company that lies to their customers is disappointing. They make purchasing clothes an awesome experience but not when people are donating.

Staff seem miserable every time I've been to this location :/ not sure what their deal is but zero customer service. You can spend a while shopping as sizes get mixed up so i look in one size up and down (im sure this is by customers and staff). Clothing is priced fair but not cheap - its good quality and cheaper then new however I get way better deals buying direct from other parents on facebook buy and sell groups. I do like picking individual items so I will return to OUAC but I've decided to drive a bit further to a different location. I've only purchased from this store never sold.

Sandra Beaurain

Well organized, friendly & helpful staff. Prices are a bit high for some items and I'd often rather just donate my used items as they pay you very little.

Vince Poil

I'm glad this place exists. It must be very helpful to families with limited resources. It also gives new life to barely used or on alot of cases, never used kids items. They price things low, so don't expect to get much for selling to them, but understand where it's going instead. It's a little shabby and seemingly disorganized, but the staff all have it under control.

Ashley Boyce

I was very disappointed to learn, after a recent visit to sell items, that an obvious snowsuit set had been seperated and only the snowpants were purchased leaving the jacket in the boxes I took home. I understand that subpar items cannot be resold but a heads up for me, the customer, about the seperation allowing me, the customer, to make the final decision would have gone a long way towards this consumer relationship. I would have preferred and feel that great and transparent customer service would have alerted me to this fact. After all items which are not purchased may have an alternative plan after the fact. That said, I posted this earlier on the page and it was removed without even so much as a mention from the management or whomever controls this page. Yet another misstep for their customer service department. Sadly, I will not be supporting this local business, thankfully there are other options.

It's a good place to buy some used clothes for your children customer service is usually good, however, I did bring them a lot of clothes and they were turned down due to "soiling" and tearing. A few of the items were a little more than gently used I will admit but most of the lot was the same condition you would be purchasing and some of them were actually still brand new. I think it deoends on who inspects the clothing. All in all an awesome place to get clothes for your kids and my boys have many clothes we bought from there. We even bought excer-saucers and bassonets.

Highly recommended.

Great for buying and selling cloths for kids. Sometime staff make no sense in there selections when selling cloths back to them. tried to sell them vintage inspired t-shirts that had never been worn and staff said they were too used and faded.

T

They say they don't accept older styles but going through the racks you can see patterns on jammies that my 7 year old wore... When he was a toddler! Would much rather donate clothes to charity then waste time going here. Clothes for purchase are getting more expensive as well. If you hunt around the malls, you'll find brand new clothes for cheaper

Jessica Forler

If I could leave ZERO stars I gladly would!!!! I’m not sure if it was the manager or not, I’m assuming it was, because if my staff spoke to ANYONE the way she did, she would be fired quicker than you could say the word!!!! She was giving more attitude than I can even describe to a Gentleman who volunteers and was there to pick up something from their store.... I felt so bad for the Gentleman, HE VOLUNTEERS FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!! I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop on their conversation, however; it was hard to ignore...in all honesty because of that fact, unfortunately I will not return. I don’t want to support a store that treats people so badly.... I can only imagine the way she speaks to her staff if that’s the way she speaks to a VOLUNTEER!!!!

If I could give a zero I would. Today we brought a bunch of baby boy clothes in...it was all washed and folded, very clean, they made us wait over an hour then said it had dog hair on it and it was dirty they couldn't accept it because of allergies...so we went through it as soon as we picked it up and we couldn't find any dog hair or dirt on the clothes. I'm guessing it was just lazy people working that didnt want to sort through the clothes. My suggestion dont waste your time going there to drop off clothes!

Good spot to buy used kids clothes and toys. Prices have gone up in the last few years but still cheaper than brand new clothes. The only thing is they now seem to offer you very little for your old clothes and toys. Don't expect to get rich selling your toys there. You will have more success on kijiji. Besides all of that, I still reccomend buying all your kids clothes there as kids grow out of them so fast anyways.

This is my favourite once upon a child location in Edmonton, I find the staff extremely nice, they have a good selection, and they have good sales. The store is a little crowded, but that’s to be expected. I drive here all the way from Fort Saskatchewan and it’s worth the trip. I always take advantage of their 10 for $10 books, it’s cheaper than Value Village!

Kelly Stacks

I was so disappointed in this location.... Living outside of Edmonton, closer to the north end - I had high hopes this location would be better then the previous one in Christie’s corner by the world health and cineplex odeon. I had a bad experience with customer service at their previous location, this trip the staff was very friendly, however... For a used coat in which I could buy brand new for 34.99 at Marshall’s is worn and till at the 25.00 dollar mark, I am not impressed. I had actually grabbed a little boys jacket in medicore to gently worn condition, meant for spring/fall and i had mistakenly read $8.00 not 18.00! When I brought it to the till I decided not to purachse this. It was probably a $25 dollar brands new coat to begin with. The boxes I took in had lots of great items in them, I have been going to the once upon a child locations across Alberta for some time now and this is by far the least stocked and high priced place. I will say they did have really great condition and even new clothing items. However the prices were steep for thrift. Usually for my two bins of clothing I get anywhere from 130-180. This time I received less then $80.00. And I have taken many many bins. This is a very clean location much better then the previous although I wish the prices were a bit more competitive to other children thrift stores. Really look at your items and the conditions vs what it would cost new : what it would be on sale.

Unfortunate experience at the store today. Put an item on hold last night at 8 pm and tried to pick up today around 4:30. When I arrived I was told that the item was also placed on hold by someone else. Instead of trying to rectify the situation, the staff made me try to negotiate with the other person. Only when I insisted that I had placed the item on hold first did they let me have the it because the manager "didn't want to deal with it." While I've been able to find some good item at this store, other times the items I've brought home have had tears, so make sure you inspect the items closely before purchase.

I used to love this store but its definitely gone down hill lately. Staff are ignorant and disrespectful. I was there a few days ago to sell some items and they were quite rude when i asked why they were only taking certain ones, which i had absolutely no problem with then proceeded to roll their eyes at me when i thanked them and told them it was no problem) Also the owner seems to be a stuck up rude person themselves as seeing the response to my review.

The prices on the clothing is very reasonable.. But as 2 selling clothing, what i do is, what ever clothing is not bought, I donate to my local daycare. As they 2 are in need of children's clothes..

Christine Skinner

I’ve always had a great experience shopping here. The inventory is in great condition, the prices are fair and there’s always lots of selection. I just recently ordered online for curbside pickup and was very happy with what I received. I wasn’t sure about blind ordering but the shoppers did a great job.

Helena McLean

I have brought excellent quality (Mexx, Hartstrings, jCrew, Persnickety) barely worn clothing to this store only to have it rejected because it's "stained" or "too badly worn" to be resold. It's actually kind of insulting when I look on the racks and see things that I would not purchase because they are too stained and badly worn! It's no big deal but I've decided that I'm going to drop my clothing off at Valu Village where I might not make any money but I've always been thanked and feel like I'm actually contributing to a good cause.

Came home with a bunch of clothes that wernt even ours . Plus they are not friendly at this location at all. Will be going to the Sherwood Park location from now on.

As a grandmother who loves to shop, I have been shopping here since they opened, Everytime I go generally a hundred dollars spent, merchandise is amazing. Customer service use to be Great, the last few times customer service has been awful and I know it's not just me I watched a lady stand in a long line told to go to the other side then told to go back,she then walked out. The staff seem to have no experience in customer service and my last few visits have been painful

Lois Greensides

Great place. Pleasant staff

Katelyn Ganton Wright

This location is over crowded, poorly sorted and very over priced. For example, Peckle sleepers being sold for $5 when they’re $7 new at Costco, Children’s Place t-shirts for $5 when Children’s Place often sells them for $5, Boon Frog Bath Toy Holder for $15, when they’re $19 at Walmart or on Amazon. Very poor selection of baby & toddler boy shoes. I go there every couple of months & dig through the bins only to find the same ones that were there before (many of which are in such poor condition that I myself wouldn’t even donate them). I will be sticking to the Sherwood Park location from now on.

Talika Vazirali

Bad customer service, no money on hand to buy my clothes - only store credit available, won't buy things after 8pm even though store closes at 9 and this info isn't posted anywhere. 3rd time in today with a bad experience each time. Won't likely be going back.

LoniFranklin Franki9

Not much selection for 4t girl bottoms and 2t boy bottoms. Prices could be lower given that they are twice loved. I was waiting in what I thought was the line...made eye contact with the cashier who didnt tell me I was in the wrong place...small thing but really, tell me the line goes this way or that. Or have signage indicating where the line starts. I wont soon return.

Rude and mean staff!!! Which caused me to be that in return!! Simply trying to drop off a box and clothes even though I had called a couple times prior to this morning! ( I was always given different info when I called in) Staff complained immediately about the size of box rather than greeting a customer walking into the store!!!! Even after I calmed down and asked a couple questions as I have never brought stuff in before... staff was still rude and defensive and trying to blame me for rudeness!!! I will never return to this store even to buy my children's clothes etc! So disappointed!!! I usually have a good experience at the St. Albert trail location but today was the extreme opposite!!

Aaron McIntyre

Just as advertised

Doug Godfrey

Tonya Kolomiyets

Very bad experience. I tried to give in some of my daughters old clothes. Workers were not doing their work and out of 100 items took six. Didn’t even take a look in the box and picked out the 6 items at the top of the box. Saw them standing around and talking to each other while I waited for my items to be picked out. When I asked why some of the stuff wasn’t picked she said they don’t have enough space in the store. Don’t donate items here

willa shiner

Great place to find reasonably price cloths if you prefer to pick and choose yourself vs a mixed bag from someone on Kijiji. However I will never bring in my kids cloths to sell to them again. Drove an hour into the city with two neatly organized bins with all name brand boys cloths. Once there they told me I had to come back the next day to collect money even though I called before hand to say how far I was coming from and how much I was bringing in. Went in today. They gave me back 99% of what I brought them. Apparently Carters, Gap, and Old Navy next to new cloths aren't good enough for them. I made a total of $9- I spent $40 in fuel and two days worth of lunches for my kids. A complete waste of my and my children's time! If they had told me in advance i would have thanked them and posted to Kijiji. AND THATS exactly what I'll do from now on!

Lindsay Laurie

Awesome spot to bring used toys and get a little cash so you can put it towards something new and different for your kids. They purchase depending on the popularity of the toys and how well they sell at their location. It is about 1/3 of the price they believe they can sell it for so that depends on popularity but is about 1/2 or less of the value of the item. Buying used helps the environment and the community. It's a great way to give back so other parents can enjoy raising their kids sustainably and enjoy the more expensive toys as well at a discounted price.

Decent selection, friendly staff. You will find some of the clothes are over priced for their quality. We also had issues with checking out as the cashiers took ten mins (with a full store) to open a third till. The check out process is painfully slow and inefficient. You wait longer for the receipt than paying for your items.

Cheryl Johnson

They only take what they want and everything I had was in excellent shape

Jayson Robinson

E De Decker

I’ve sold and bought from this store. Selling: 1) don’t expect much for the items. I’ve sold very nice, name brand clothes and only get a few dollars for each item. Even brand new items (ie shirts with price tags on from a store), I’ll get maybe $2-3 for that. 2) be prepared to wait while they go through the clothes and decide what they want to buy from you. Buying: 1) the store is cramped with stuff. Lots and lots of clothes on the racks, making it impossible to actually browse through and find something. 2) the store is kind of messy. Maybe they’re running out of space or people can’t put things back from where they got the item from, but it’s not well organized. For example, I’ll find shoes in the toys area. Overall it’s an okay store but I don’t go there too often for the above reasons. Value village is literally next door and it is more spacious, cheaper and more organized.

Michelle Cole

The staff here are always rude. You are never greeted when you come through the door; whether or not they have customers cashing through. No one ever asks if you need help or if you're finding everything okay. They are usually too busy talking to themselves about personal things. The toy aisle is an absolute disaster which is frustrating. The store is packed full with great merchandise and we continue to support this store despite the staff as I live down the street. Most of our big ticket items are from here and we've saved hundreds of dollars.

Cori SG

I just left without purchasing anything because they don't even acknowledge your existence. Customer service goes a long way and I'd rather spend my money where I'm at least acknowledged. Edit: there were 3 employees at the front when I entered, and no other customers at the front either. Do better.

Nakul Kapur

The products are of poor quality

Melissa Rengel

Once upon a child is a great place to bring your childrens toys, clothes, exersaucers etc... Once yoir kids grow out of them. You make a littlecash which is a bonus and they sell the items at very reasonable prices. They are very selective with clothing making sure there are no stains. The staff has always been nice and helpful. They also sell used carriera and amber teething necklaces as well.

I was at the store a week ago, I asked stuff about mask to buy, I wasn't sure if it will fit for my daughter, the staff told me you can return it if it didn't fit just keep the tag on and receipt, however it was too big for daughter, I return it to get either store credit or a refund, the manager was very rude and said sorry no return and she said it's a common sense, it's none of my fault, I buy it because I know that I won't lose my money if it didn't fit, I spend a hundred of dollars in this store and she lost me as a customer for 10 dollar? And those mask probably was donated, she offer to me a 5 dollar store credit, I will never go back because of the bad service that I had today, and I will never recommended to anyone.

Lynda Dentrey

Take my used kids clothes here every few months. Very fair prices. Staff is friendly and I have 9 out 10 times found exactly what I needed. Is very full and that is a good and bad thing not much room when you being the kids.

Jessica McCarroll

Over priced clothing. Refuse items for "stains and fading" which I checked for and saw none but sell stained and faded clothing. Make you wait 3 hours to find out they are overstocked on that gender/age and won't buy your clothes which they could have told me when I dropped it off and wrote on the form what gender/age the clothes were. Rude staff who are only interested in boy bands and making fun of customers. Will never be back!

This store is waaaaay too over stocked and cramped. You can hardly move to look at everything. I won't be back. I would much rather go to the Sherwood park store. So organized and you can actually move around freely and friendly staff.

Milica Scekic

I expected store selling childrens stuff to be much cleaner. I do understand that they sell second hand items, but cant understand what is the hype about the store now that i have visited it. I will definetly not be back, as I think you get better deals buying chlotes at sales at regular stores. In terms of buying bran name strollers and other baby gear, I feel you would be better of searching kijiji or other sale sites.

Karen Eales

Called ahead to check their policy regarding returning an item from another store. The employee on the phone confirmed I would’ve been able to return the item for a full refund (it was within their return policy rules) but when I got to the store the employee at the counter unapologetically refused to take my item and said I would only get store credit for the return.

jaden liu

Messy

Nicole Dias

Every time i walk in with clothes to sell the reaction from the employees is always the same, it's as if im inconveniencing them. Doesnt matter if its a weekend or weekday. Selection is usually okay, but that's about it. Employees need training on customer service and greeting customers upon entry to the store. I'd rather do business with the once upon a child location in Milton.

When the Etobicoke location opened I was thrilled until I went there. They take way too long to go through the items and never take much. I find this location way too picky. I also sell my kids stuff at another location near my in-laws. They always buy almost everything. I have been selling now for 10 years. I never include worn or stained items. I had gone in this weekend and again they didn't take much. I took the "unwanted " items to the location near my in-laws and they took it all. They even thanked me for bringing in the great selection of items. Furthermore, they were looking forward to the next batch. I let them know that this location passed on the items they bought. They were shocked!

Tina L

It was fine, but the customer service was not as good as the st. Catharines location

You can find some good things at a decent price if you dig around. However, I was turned off when I asked the staff why a shirt with obvious pulls and stains was $12, they said well it's under armour. Then the clerk was rude to me starkly saying, "is that all you're buying!" Why yes in fact it was all I bought. I only bought one pair of pants for my son as that is all I could find for him. I will not pay you $12 for a stained shirt, not even if it was Gucci! I totally respect that there is a premium brands section, however, those items should be in mint condition!

I called prior to going to the store as I don’t live close by. They said they had the product that I was looking for (More than 3). When I arrive I am pointed in the correct direction and the product I had called for is not there. The manager is insincerely apologetic and I ask her “can you talk to the person that said they had the product?” She does ask the sales associate with a look (which I didn’t appreciate) and she says that her sales associate “assumed “ they had some. Why would you assume? Ok all I ask is that you ask your employee not to assume that the product is here as people don’t have time to waste. The manager didn’t get where I was coming from, she just kept saying sorry. So I had to just walk away. What a waste of time.

This location has been fabulous during the pandemic. In the spring I purchased a couple of the bundles they offered and they were delivered when they said they would be. Selection in them was fabulous and they did a great job at putting together cute outfits for us. I have recently done a few curbside pick ups (3 in less than 2 weeks) since they are not allowed to be open besides curbside and it has been a great experience... easy, fast and organized. I have been to the St.Catharines location but prefer the NF store. I find the clothing quality is much better here and the store is more organized and tidy. The girls have also been SUPER helpful if I'm looking for something specific or just in general. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I brought 4 bins into this location the last 2 days with plenty of clothes and outerwear for children ages 0 to 4 years old. When I picked up my bins I was told they had to pass on certain things because of staining. I looked over the clothes again I found several clothes that were in perfect condition including clothes that had never been worn because my son grew out of them before he wore it. I feel this location is a waste of time to try to sell your clothes at. I'm just going to try and sell my good quality clothes that were not good enough for this thrift store on Facebook buy and sell. I did find the staff polite, I came in with my baby in her infant seat so they helped me with the door and bringing my bins to my car.

I went in with the intention of selling a bag of clothing and ended up leaving the store with a bag of clothing and toys for my 5 year old son. They only purchased a fraction of what I brought in but the staff were kind and polite to me. I witnessed a lot of rude and even aggressive behaviour, but that was on the part of the potential sellers to the staff who were angry over their stuff not being bought and at what price. All of the three staff members treated the sellers graciously and politely regardless. And a lot of the stuff they were trying to sell was broken old $&?$!!!. The inventory is extensive and dense ... so plan ahead lots of time to go through it. They have great quality clothing, shoes and a lot of educational toys (most still in the box). The prices ARE reasonable. ie. H&M pants for $5 and Converse high tops for $10. And the stuff is in great condition, clothes even smell great. So they are picky when they buy for a reason. Having to squeeze through the aisles and perhaps leaving your stroller at the door is a small sacrifice in my opinion. In regards to the service aspect, there IS no service, it's a thrift store! And really, who cares what the staff wear (and as someone mentioned the music they play ?!) it's a THRIFT STORE -and a good one - just bring your expectations closer to earth and the pay off is worth it.

Brandi Potter

Staff members are rude and the information they give about how to dropoff/consign items is vague. Was told on the phone they accept certain items but then when i dropped them off in person, I was told they never take those items. They want you to go to drop off and collect at very specific times which are difficult to work with for working parents or parents that need to do school pick up/drop off. The prices they offer for items you drop off are very low. Don't waste your time, sell your items on kijiji.

Iryna Kannin

I just visited the new place where you supposedly moved! It's closed and no sign whatsoever. Thanks for wasting 30 min of my life! I have never been to that store and have no intentions to go there ever again.

Once apon a child is a great place to buy clothes especially when they have their clearance sale on I bought 6 pairs of overalls there all for $1. Each I mean you can’t beat that price .

I even buy baby gifts here cause once apon a child has only gently used items love it ???????????? keep it up ????

Two stars because the concept is great, I always prefer to buy both kids items used. And I normally can find what I needed. However, no stars for owner and staff. I have never had a pleasant experience there when you compare it to Cambridge location. Staff greet you in Cambridge, they do not at Guelph. Guelph location also does not offer refund, Cambridge does in 7 days. Cambridge also will always take Guelph items for exchange with receipt, they won't even question it or make you feel bad. Going to Guelph to exchange items from Cambridge is always a nightmare. Sometimes they do it after pleading and making you feel guilty, and sometimes, like tonight, they wont. They see you spent $200 in 48 hours ($100 at each location), but exchanging two items from Cambridge with them for some reason is beyond their comprehension... there is zero customer service. That full $200 use to go to guelph, but this past year if I have the time for the extra drive, I always choose to go to Cambridge first and see what they have, not because the size of location, but because the staff at Guelph always put me in a bad mood. I understand it is different owners... but its the same franchise and if the neighbor location can treat you and your clientele nicely, you should be doing the same in return. EDIT- store called me in the next day and did the exchange, apologized and also changed the company policy to ensure to be more beneficial to the clients. Thank you!

I’ll start by saying that I’m fairly new to shopping for used children’s clothing. I decided to stop in here as my little one is growing so fast I can’t keep up with the shopping. I also like the idea of being more environmentally responsible by reusing something someone else no longer needs. For someone new to this environment, prepare yourself. There is A LOT going on in a very small space. The space is intended to be well organized but the racks are packed so tightly it’s difficult to browse through them. There are also variances in how the sizing is interpreted (ex: Section 18 months could have clothes in sizes 12-18, but also 18-24) which means you need to go through twice as many sections as you should. It’s a good place to go to buy “dressy” clothes for kids - the kind they’ll only wear once or twice. The store is full of these items. It’s not as a good of a place to buy sweats and tees. Bottom line: if you have time, patience, and wouldn’t mind saving a couple bucks, it’s worth a shot.

Best place for children's clothing ever. Why spend money on new clothes when they'll only wear it for a few weeks, possibly months? Selection is way beyond anything you'll get in a "normal" store and the quality is great. Sometimes you can find really amazing, expensive stuff. Same goes for toys. Don't let clothes go to a landfill. Reuse reuse reuse. It's a win-win-win all around.

Tonnes to choose from! Good brand names and great quality for used items. Speedy exchange when dropping off and picking up.

Carrie Jones

This place is great! You get a lot for your money and the clothes are mostly name brand. I haven't sold to them personally but hear good things.

This particular store is an absolute disgrace when it comes to customer service. Today well shopping my nephew who was with his mother and family friend found something that caught his eye..putty to be exact. He grabbed the putty brought it over to his mother for her to get for him, her going to be purchasing it for him allowed for him to hold onto it as they browsed the store. After about 15 minutes of browsing the store, him still carrying the putty a worker came over said nothing to either of the two adults with him, snatched the package out of his hand and than proceeded to tell him in a nasty manner that these were not to be carried around the store. The family friend stated can you give that back to him we are buying That, the workers states to her, no they are to stay at the counter. No sign or posting stating they were to remain at the cash. Needless to say this worker scared my nephew with her actions today and brought him to tears. That is very poor and disgraceful customer service. This situation could have been handled much more properly on that staffs end. You at no given time have the right to grab anything in a aggressive manner from a child who does not belong to you and who was with two adults you could have addressed your concerns whatever they may have been with. You've now lost quite a few future customers as they along with alot of our other close friends and family will not be back to this store ever again. Shame on you Once Upon A Shopping Trip Nightmare!!! It's a children's store GET child friendly!!!

I brought in items for sale and they offered next to nothing. I won’t return, I would rather donate to someone.

I’ve had nothing but good experiences here. The staff is helpful and sweet. Sure the prices may be higher than other thrift shops but i know it’s good stuff so it’s fine. I go here probably once a week and always find something good!

M. EVE

This place is a safety hazard. Before taking more stuff they should really consider clearing some product out. Everything is everywhere. One day someone is going to hurt themselves in this store and they are going to have alot more problems then making an extra 5 bucks on something.

Jennifer Hill

I don't shop this OUAC as much for clothes. I've brought clothes - tag off, never worn - and been told they were too worn. I've been told shoes worns less than a dozen times are too worn, yet seen shoes with staining and distress. It's inconsistent, and I find the clothes overpriced compared to the OUAC I shop in Burlington. I've taken the same clothes from this store, refused, and had other OUAC buy them all and thank me for their great condition. Shop from? More likely to do that than to ever try to sell here.

Tazyin A

pure rip off if you’re selling your items to them. I had some brandname new/barely used items and I got peanuts back. You’re better off selling it yourself.

Sarah Raekelboom

A bit over priced for previously used merchandise. Very select selection of rain gear but good luck finding shoes in the correct size as the bins are not well organized.

Jill A

I read the bad reviews before I decided to go. I was ready for a poor experience. I was looking to buy, rather than to sell. I thought the inventory was amazing, I wish I had been near to a store like this when my children were babies. I was buying clothes for my two sons, and I thought the clothes and boots were very well organized. Yes, the young ladies working in the shop could care less about my needs or shopping experience, but they were not rude, and I actually did ask them for help once and the gal responded appropriately. So a great place for finding clothes and equipment. Just lower your standards about customer service and you'll do well.

Holly Wovenden

Great selection of clothes! And the associate who greeted us at the door was friendly and had a smile. However, the cashier was a different story. Maybe to her, spending $100 on clothes is not a big deal. But to me, it's a lot of money. If she was having a bad day and didn't feel like smiling, that's fine. We've all had those days. But when you're in a Customer Service role, you are expected to say at the very least "THANK YOU". Actually, any words would have been nice. She did not say one word. It would not stop me from shopping there. But next time, I will definitely request a different cashier.

Great price and staff was extremely helpful.

Vandana Verma

Horrible..it look like a dumping ground..They should visit other OUC outlets to learn how to organize the store and keep it clean.Items are overpriced you can get new in the same price.

Navi Rudolph

Unfortunately I've been disappointed way too many times with them. It's very difficult to look through the overly packed everything - even when I do have the patience and the time for it, it can be very frustrating. The clothes end up falling off the hangers or getting stuck to other clothes, things are so crammed together it's difficult to navigate a shopping cart, and I usually end up just giving up. The staff is (mostly) unfriendly and not particularly helpful. I found this especially odd because even after seeing different staff there year after year, they somehow still end up attracting the same type of employees. Dropping off seems to be way more tricky than necessary: You cannot drop off in the evening (which can be extremely inconvenient), they don't accept several brands (Mexx, Please Mum, George..) regardless of condition, they've told me they aren't accepting certain items AFTER they've gone through the boxes (like books & toys), yet have accepted them on several other occasions... So I'm sort of not sure what I can and cannot drop off anymore, and I have to hope they are accepting when I do finally drop off. I'm a bit more inclined now to either sell my things online (you only get about $2/item anyway), try another consignment store, or just donate my stuff. Lastly, the store is filthy. I know this is just an aesthetic thing, but the carpets (including in the small play area) look like they haven't been cleaned in years. I do wish they'd up their game, because they have so much potential to be an awesome store. As for now, I don't think I'll be going back for a long while.. ????

Clothes are amazing. You can find name brand, Bougie items. Second hand things that you can’t find at value Village or a thrift store. Clothes are all in decent to amazing condition no holes rips fading . The stock is always really full. Always have a good find when going there. Like I said before lots of brands Tommy Hilfiger Calvin Klein Ralph Lauren and so much more.

Some things are priced high such as winter boots or jackets, but that's to be expected in the beginning of winter. Strollers are very expensive. Great quality clothes, nothing with rips or stains. Friendly staff and lots of selection. The clothes are cheap.

Favorite place to shop for my kids !!

Love their sales

Ann K

I would recommend to stay away from this place. 2 hours of wasted time waiting for their "sorting". From 2 huge boxes of clothing they only took 3 shirts, messed up the rest of the stuff, didn't bother even fold them properly and on top of that stole 1 pair of brand name licensed jeans, without paying for it. If i knew they are dishonest, i would have checked every item. Definitely will not deal with them ever again, it is a rip off.

You never know what treasures you’re going to find here! I bought a brand new in the box Jolly Jumper for less than half the price it was at another store! Don’t think that this is only used clothes, there are lots of brand new items in store too!

Alexia Paquette

The store is clean, well organized, and you can always find something you need for a fantastic price.

Kristopher Rekken

This is a great place for second hand clothing for kids, including toys. Always seem to leave with buying a bunch. Average place nothing to exciting.

Alyssa Cameron

I would give zero stars if I could. Immature workers, told on the phone to bring 2 bins in and that's fine, got there and they said it would be 24 hrs, but they would make an exception this time, yet there were 4 of them sitting on the counter, the lady helping us had to stop and send a text every 30 seconds, no joke, no wonder things take so long, staff is rude and condescending, they barely looked through our stuff which was mostly clothes that still had tags on it, said the quality was not good, yet there are stained clothes on all the racks, much better experience at the Medicine Hat store. This store is terrible, 0/10, will not recommend or return here.

My wife left our stroller at PES school while picking up our oldest daughter on Thursday. The stroller was taken which was my wife's mistake for leaving it but as you mothers know, life is busy. This is my problem with the owner/manager: my wife called the store after someone messaged on facebook that they saw a lady named samantha(they did give me her full name and address which was nice) won't mention her last name, selling same stroller and the transaction seemed odd and samantha had no idea on the details of the stroller (thank you to the person on facebook helping us find our stroller). So today my wife calls the store and asks if they had bought a graco snugride stroller. The owner denied the fact of buying any strollers or that particular stroller at all, and it's been weeks since she has bought any. I went to store to look and instead of helping me she flat out ignorantly said she didnt have my stroller. And that she had already told my wife that. I looked through her inventory, found a stroller and look at that, it was ours! When I asked her the purchase date, well oh my... it was Thursday. So long story, ignorant service from her and the whole entire staff. And I bought my stroller back We have our sons stroller back and looks like all ppl as I know are not good. I will never buy or support this store again in my life. The owner was willingly giving me the information of the person who sold it to her. And willing to help me if we wanted to report it. I will say that, but only after she was denying everything and then proven wrong did she be helpful.

I always call before going to ask what items they are currently looking for. I'm always told one thing by one person and upon arrival and selling am told a different thing by another. Today I called and told them I am planning on selling alot of onsie's (0-24) months and toddler summer. The representative said yes they are always taking onsies. I drooped my things off @ 12 noon got called at 4pm which I understand because they were busy. They bought 7 items out of the 2 boxes I brought no onsies were taken at all! Instead they bought a pair of boots shorts and shirts???? Waste of time and gas!!!!

One staff was rude to my 4 years old took mask off and yelled to me no respect shown , also when we entering the store she was leaving and released the door on us almost hurt my son , my hand was full while I was carrying my baby daughter in car city, I nodded my head and she gave me angry look then when she back to store that the way she treated me yelling at to put my son mask on I told her I don’t have one he keeps throwing it she said I have one for him she gave me the adult size mask I said thank you then she left me in disgusting face . I used shop more this store but from that day I decided not to back that store there are more stores to support their business who will appreciate me to shop them and respect me

As a mom on a mat leave budget and a baby that grows fast , I can’t say enough good things about this store. All items are stain and rip free and my baby only wants to wear Carter’s onesies day or night. Baby’s are messy which means she has at least 3-4 outfit changes a day : which are $20-25 a piece on Amazon. And I can get them for $5 there.

Adam Stewart

Dianne Robinson

Cher Sabourin

Too cramped, a lot of the clothing is junkie and overpriced. Most items you can buy new for just a few dollars more. Once in a blue moon you can find that one good thing. The staff is not very friendly. Overall, it's like an overpriced thrift store..

Kevin Paul

Great prices. Can't be beat on that.

Patricia Jennings

Will never shop there again - customer service is the very worst - managers policy over customer needs - how can you deny the use of your washroom to pregnant women and children in dire need!!!!

Angie Limone

Sometimes it can be very busy and because of the tight aisles it can be hard to get around in here especially with a stroller or children. The staff are nice and I can usually find what I need. The toy section is a complete mess and you have to dig through everything, this I don't really love.

I already stopped liking this location years ago. Today I'm gutting my home and find a block set I had purchased from once upon a child as a Christmas gift last year. I've never been happier that I changed my mind. The block set was to have 75 blocks in it that fit in the shape cut outs on the lid. It had 42 pieces most mismatched from other block sets not 75 and a random fish block and a plastic dinosaur. Guelph Once upon a child the store where staff buy stuff from their friends and put it on the shelf with out checking what they're buying to sell to unsuspecting customers. Again I am soo glad I chose something else as Christmas present last year.

I am writing to you, to let you know how appalled I am at the St.Catharines Stores customer serice (lack there of) I was in and saw multiple signs advertising a flash sale of 20 sleepers for 10$ for 18 months and under. When I came to check out the cashier said that wasn't the sale, I brought up the signs. Another employee brought the sign to the manager who told me that it was a "typo" and couldn't honour it. Ive worked in retail for 10 years and we have ALWAYS been told even if the product or the sign is wrong, we have to honour what it says. All I got was a rude "sorry, its a typo" and wow 5$ coupon.

Absolutely awful company to deal with. Their used prices are ridiculous (I've seen the same clothes on clearance at Carters for less than they were selling used here). What they pay you for used items is a complete joke. It cost me more money in gas to "sell" items to them than I actually got back. I brought in 7 large baby items/toys to sell that I had to leave there while they assed them, they said they'd call back in an hour, I had to call 2 hours later to see if they were done. Drove back to the store, was given 3 of the items back and $12.30 (even though they said $12.50). The items they kept cost me over $130 new! They paid me less than 10%. I will never be going back there to sell or purchase and I strongly recommend you do the same.

Took in a large bag of name brand clothing. Was told to take it home and wash it as it had been in storage which I understood and did. Even washed the large cloth bag. Went back and they still wouldnt take anything after telling me what they would take after being washed. I find it a little hard to believe freshly washed items smell like smoke. I will not be back. $10.00 for a size 5 boys jeans is a little much anyways.

I had my first experience using Once A Upon a Child and I wanted to say that overall it was a good experience. I got a couple bucks for used clothing that my kids out grew. The check in, check out process on the phone seemed useful. The big thing I can tell you is put our sell-able items in a box not a bag, and that they do not novelty items, such as shirts with places embroidered on them. The woman who helped me, didn't mind answering my questions being a first time seller and shopper. The store is full as some reviewers have said but I did find it manageable to walk the aisle and floors were clean. Overall I would use them again.

Liss Cymbalisty

Great place to buy and sell gently used clothing and toys. They are selective with what they buy but as a buyer, I appreciate it, as things should be working and in decent condition. If you come with reasonable expectations then you'll be very happy with what you find.

Used to shop here and decided to give it again but am disappointed. Cannot believe how expensive this place has gotten. They sell wal-mart brand for more than wal mart even sells their stuff for. Some of the stuff is in such poor condition but because it is name brand they try and charge a lot for it. Save yourself some money and shop at other second hand stores.

Kristen Adams

This place was absolutely disgusting . Everything was everywhere. A complete mess. Looked like a disaster. The workers were very ignorant as we walked through the front door . They didn't say hello,didn't look at us,didn't ask if they could help us with anything. That right there,is a red light for us. Another thing,we found a pair of pj's for a baby,the price tag still on, & reg price was $7.00 & once upon a child was selling it for $10.00. That's ridiculous. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. The nerve of those ignorant little girls who price the items. We will NOT be returning to the niagara falls store EVER AGAIN

Laura Navarro

I like supporting small businesses in my area ...but I haven’t bought clothes in a while because the prices are getting a bit ridiculous. $5 for a 2T shirt? I just spent $33.60 at old navy for 8 items brand new. I have only found good sales on toddler swimsuits and shoes

Very rude staff member and manager. Staff member directing customers in a condescending/ignorant manor. She should not be working in customer service with her poor attitude. Manager told me I was wrong when I told her how rude her employee was and made excuses that she was having a bad day. If she was aware then maybe actual manage and move her to a less customer facing activity or send her home. Poor customer service all around. I will not return simply because of these two individuals.

Dani Crowell

They have everything you need for a baby and kids! Lots and lots of clothes books toys etc! We will definitely be making the hour trip back once we find out what we are having in a few weeks! Worth checking out ????

Nice and clean secondhand store. Some of the prices aren't the greatest but I still found some good deals. The staff were friendly.

Melissa M

Will destroy your personal property and call you a liar. I dropped off items for consignment sale on Oct 19,2020 around 2:30 in the afternoon. I went back to pick up my items around 4:30 the same day. The items the store chose not to purchase were returned back to me. One item I left for sale was a bottle warmer that was brand new in a sealed box. When they returned the bottle warmer to me, not only had the seals been broken but the box has been ripped open and the interior packaging was also destroyed. When I brought it up as an issue the owner of the store called me a liar and claimed that the box had not been sealed when I brought it in. He didn't check the with staff that looked at my order he just said it wasn't possible and I was lying about the the condition I brought it in even after showing him a picture. Have pictures as proof.

Intense Study

Lots of great stuff for the kids here i founf the bib overalls my boy lives and for an awesome price clothes and toys of all kinds the staff was friendly and helpful we found what we needed in no time at all If you want great prices on 2nd hand stuff for the kids this is the place

Honestly I have nothing but great things to say about Once Upon a Child I think the concept behind it is just fantastic. Honestly to get name brand clothing for your children who are going to grow out of it sometimes within months as kids grow so quickly it's really nice to have a store like this. All of the gently used clothing has always been great quality zero stains a lot of it has been brand new with tags even still on it! Keep up the good work guys and gals!

Robert MacRae

Kara

Such a great concept! Clean out your kids closets and whatever you get back is free clothing to restock! I find the prices much higher than when they first opened but supply and demand....

I was just at the one in st cathrines. Brought in 300 dollars worth of products, all in excellent condition. They offered me fifty dollars for it all. This included a excersaucer which was new never used, baby monitors bran new in box, jolley jumper used once. Baby swing, walking toy, play pen which they refused cause it had an odor which is hilarious cause it was all stored in a room together. Yet that one smelled. Clothes they refused all in excellent condition and we're very rude about it when I asked any they didn't want it. Also a vibrating chair. All in all they are scmers and ripe people off. I can't believe the prices they sell things for as oppesed to what they pay.. They should not beaking more of a profit then me. So for anyone thinking of selling there baby stuff don't go there there idiots

Cindy Betts

This place is fantastic! Offers gently used kids items at great prices., and the staff were super friendly and helpful. There was a great selection of clothing in all the sizes I was looking for and I loved that I could shop different brands all in one place. The store was organized really well by size and gender & also had separate departments for books, toys, shoes, dance, coats, swim, maternity & baby equipment. I not only got some great deals on some clothing my kids needed, but I stocked up on some awesome books for summer reading. Great prices on books! ($1.50-3.50 for most books.) I highly recommend this store to everyone I know with kids ... you can save a bundle by buying second hand and this store has it all; great selection, great prices, very organized for easy shopping, friendly, helpful staff. I have a hard time understanding when people gripe about the store not buying ALL of their items...I for one am glad that they only buy things in great condition.. because it means that the items they have to sell are in great condition! Every time I am in this store I am so impressed by how hardworking the staff are...they never stop moving & there is a positive, happy buzz to the place. It reminds me of a beehive where every worker has his/her role & everyone is working so hard to keep the whole thing going! I love Once Upon a Child & especially this location. I love what they do & what they offer the families of St. Catharines. Keep up the great work.

I couldn’t have imagined a better shopping experience during COVID. The staff was friendly and insightful with ensuring we found what we needed and more. If you are looking for a great experience shopping for your child or children, I would highly recommend Once Upon Child in Guelph.

Lyndsey Howell

Great place to stock up on clothes fairly cheap, but you have to watch prices and quality - I regularly find stained or holey clothing, but find good pieces too. Do not recommend selling to them though, they don't really go through the stuff and turn away a lot of quality stuff despite stocking store with questionable stuff. Frustrating and a waste of time.

Cordelia Vallieres

I would give a zero star rating if it was an option! I will never use the store to buy or sell again! (most) Staff are rude and very unhelpful..

Very disappointed in this location. I've visited twice. My first time was to drop off two very big garbage bags of clothing in great, gently used condition. All were modern and would sell very easily. At the time, "due to covid", they were only giving out store credit rather than cash. (Not sure how covid affects that, but anyway...) For the two big bags of clothing, I only received $28 in store credit which I had to follow up with them to confirm I received 7 days later despite them asking for my contact info at the time of drop off to contact me regarding my store credit total. My second visit was to purchase some new clothing for my little one with the store credit I had. When I arrived at the check out I was told that I could not use my store credit for the 10 for $10 deal they almost always have. That made absolutely no sense to me, because whether I received store credit for the clothing I sold to them or cash, I would have still invested my money into their store... After a long discussion they "allowed" me to use my store credit. Just now I called their location and found out that they are no longer accepting clothes to be sold there in garbage bags or bags in general, and they will only accept them in bins, aka you need to fold them and package them neatly in bins which not everyone has as an FYI. "to make it easier for us" (those were their exact words). As if the dirt cheap store credit they give in return is worth doing half their job for them. Not returning to this location and I'd honestly rather give it away for free then to "sell" it to this store.

I was told I couldn’t return them because they were final sale which would be fine if they were the size I thought I was buying. Be sure to check the tag on the inside of the clothing item because they don’t know how to properly tag items and you will be told you are wrong. They staff have been very unfriendly anytime I’ve gone to the Niagara Falls location.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! We brought in some very nice used clothes from Okaidi (and others stores) to be reviewed for purchase (we usually donate the money to a children's charity after - been doing this for 6 years) by the Once Upon a Child store. We then had to attend to a family emergency immediately which lasted 2 days. In the meantime, the store did not give us a reminder courtesy call for the clothes they did not want. Instead they just gave our clothes to Value Village!!! We normally donate any unwanted clothes to children or women's shelters - not to billion dollar organizations that do very little in the way of charitable donations. The manager was unable to / didn't want to speak to my wife about it. Unacceptable! Management step up!

As long as you don't expect top dollar for your stuff this place is pretty good. I look at it as the stop before donating. Staff are friendly. Used items they have are sometimes stained or in poor condition for their price. You'll pay about the same for used clothing and shoes as a clearance price in a regular store. Great for looking for out of season items you can't find in other stores, or high end brands that are discontinued (e.g. Mexx). Would recommend but keep your expectations realistic.

Really disappointed in the attitude of the staff. I had taken my young son to 'buy' his own toy. He was so excited to pay with his own money. I was also buying small items. I asked if we could use our 20% off on 2 small seperate purchases, so my boy could pay for his own. And they said no. I asked why because the transactions would be seconds apart, and they just said it's the policy.. so fine I used both of my 20% off on 2 4.50$ purchases.. we're waiting for her to ring it the one item and my son is insanely excited and trying to hand her the money. He keeps saying "my spaceship! Here's your money" she ignored him for a good 5 minutes. Didn't bat an eye.. gave him no smile or attention. It really crushed his spirit. If you don't like children why work in a kids store?

Very friendly staff

Love love love shopping here

The concept of Once Upon a Child is amazing in and of itself. Children use clothing/toys/equipment for about 5 minutes so everyone should consider buying gently used - COVID has slaughtered small business so these independently owned small businesses need us more than ever - all of that aside, this store has always provided the most incredible service with the best selection. They have everything. I’ve shopped in store and online and I’ve found the staff and owners to be incredibly accommodating. They know kids and they make amazing recommendations. They are offering so many shopping alternatives when things are shut down and are diligently protecting their staff and customers when the store is open. I can’t emphasize enough how great this place is. Shop here ASAP!

Good prices

Found exactly what i'm looking for! Great prices and good selection. Just need to go early for seasonal items as they go fast!

I find the deals in here are great. The layout is a bit cluttered at times though so sometimes I can’t be bothered to browse. I usually purchase dresses there as I find it hard to find the kind of dresses my daughter likes in the store (she likes those puffy princess type dresses). You can find a great variety. Even though the merchandise is “gently worn” they do let you make returns in a short time period so make sure you keep the labels on if you don’t have your child try the clothes on in the store. You have to return with the labels on.

Amazing clothes and amazing prices

I've heard such good things about this place... Too bad the customer is a joke.

Heather Gatfield

So upset...looked at the website & it said it was opened. Went through everything, packed everything, got everything in car & came all the way here. AND THEY ARE CLOSED!!!! They should put that on their website! Not open

I went to this store for the first time almost 2 weeks ago , their staff have no respect ! I walked in they said nothing to me all 3 girls continued on with their conversations , no one asked if I needed help , they threw clothes back and forth to each other , you couldn't walk through any aisles because the had ladders and clothes everywhere ... They could have at least moved things to one side to let me pass seeing as I am 9 months pregnant ! I will never go back to this location ever ever again ... Staff were also swearing and making fun of people

If you put something on hold don't expect them to honour your hold. You may end up driving 30 mins m just to find your hold was sold to someone else even though you called the night before and the morning of.

Eli K

Good selection of toys for very affordable prices - around $5-10. When a kid loses his interest in a day or two, this is the place to go.

I’ve been to many different OUAC locations and this one is one of my favourites. I’ve gotten a lot of new or hardly used kids clothes here and the staff are very friendly.

Tahnee Picken

I've been happy when selling to this store. I've tried to shop but don't always find what I'm looking for. Good safe process for selling during COVID. No not was answering the phone although they direct you to call the store for dropping off goods.

Nadia Chayer

Nice staff, good clothes selection, no scraps within clothes selection

Jack Nagel

The staff have been quite friendly and helpful whenever I have went by this location. You can't go wrong with the prices and I can tell the staff work hard to up-keep the store it always looks very well-organized and I have always left here satisfied!

Matt B

This place is awful. Norman is rude and a terrible person to deal with. Will NEVER shop here again.

Google Maps doesn't have a clue as to where this place is. It will send you into a residential area. The store is actually next door to Fairhaven Bowl. Store is well-stocked, everything is well labelled, and the staff is very friendly. I found the prices to be terrific.

Stephanie Dayes

Jackie Bader

They need to go scent free. Not sure if they realize not everyone likes their air fresheners. Also not sure who does the purchasing, but it needs to be more consistent. Some clothes are great, then others not so great

I love this store. I have found the best toys, clothes and pretty much everything you need. I have been shopping there for years and the staff are always friendly and courteous.

Meaghan Clayton

This used to be my go to place. However over the last little bit the quality and prices don't match. I can get brand new clothing on sale for the price OUAC charges for used clothing/toys.

Found lots of clothing in good shape for my grandkids. Staff very friendly and helpful, we shop at Once Upon a Child regularly. Very good selection.

Alvina Rashid

You can find great quality stuff here for a fraction of the price elsewhere! Lots of variety, so best to come with enough time to browse through their selection.

I ordered one of the Spring Bundles for curbside pick up and I am SO happy with my purchase! I was a bit nervous because I wasn't sure about sizing and if I would like the items, but its everything I would have picked out myself. Their response time to my inquiry was extremely fast and they listened to all my requests. I've always been a big fan of OUAC and I'm happy to remain a customer while the stores are closed.
