Reviews of Once Upon A Child Medicine Hat (Costumes)

Anita Miles

Very busy place and quick turnover of clothing. I've found that their sales only apply to a very small portion of the goods, not worth making a special trip for the sale. If you are selling used kid's clothing to them, you drop it off in the morning, they review it at some point during the day and you have to come back by that night to pick up what they don't accept or it disappears, who knows where. Not very handy for a mom who lives a significant distance out of town, and who has 12 hours to waste in town waiting? Some of their toy sets are missing pieces, but they try to ensure that nothing significant is missing. That said, I've gotten some good deals, especially for children's footwear. And the term "gently used" is usually true.

Great selections at fair prices

I will never do business with this store again! We brought in multiple items to sell that were in excellent condition.. We came back to pick up all of our items which they were not interested in. I got home and unpacked the boxes and noticed 2 sweaters and 1 jacket was gone! They stole my items!!! DO NOT TRUST THE PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THIS LOCATION!

Awesome place for Kids clothes

I wont be coming back here and I let all my mom friends know. I have been to a handful of once upon a child stores across Alberta and BC and this one is by far the most overpriced and has the largest collection of extremely used mostly play condition clothing on their shelves. Prices are 8-9$ on heavily washed faded shirts and up to 14+$ for shorts with runs in the fabric and more than normal wear. Insanity! I've now had 2 unpleasant experiences with the customer service. Shame on me for waisting my money and time supporting this store.

I love this store and have found lots of cute clothes at fairly reasonable prices. Happy there is a place in Medicine Hat to buy used kids clothes that are good quality. Thankyou!

As far as selling those it's usually not worth your time or effort as the store is extremely picky on what they take. As for buying it gets 3 out of 5 stars. The store is generally overcrowded and hard to walk through. It's usually difficult to find the sizes you need is lots of things are out of order. Their prices are a tad bit High considering you could go buy brand new for a couple extra dollars although they do have some higher and brand names and you can sometimes find a steal of a deal. The staff are all nice and I have no complaints about service.

I never leave this store empty handed. So much to choose from! Prices are very reasonable and I save a ton over buying new. The kids never complain either!

Lots of products on sale ,but they don't pay that well for products you sell to them

Small selection because they are picky about what they take, I rarely find things I like here. Also, They have turned down my kids clothes before because “they didn’t like the style” and they don’t tell you what they take from your clothes.. I will be giving my donations to someone who will appreciate it!

Honestly, don't even bother with this place. You are much better off posting your items for sale on the buy and sell sites. Not only will you get more money for your items, but you won't be inconvenienced with dropping off and picking up your stuff. I dropped items off on a Friday afternoon, I was told to come back in on Monday to pick up the cash and remaining items. Came back in on Tuesday, and my box was burried under a whole pile of stuff, and completely forgotten about. The amount of stuff I brought in was just a small box, and they didn't even offer to go through it for me right then and there. I'm from out of town and had made a special trip to drop it off and to pick it up. This is unacceptable business practice. I have been a seller and purchaser at this location for a long time, and I can tell you for sure that I won't be back.

My husband went in to buy shoes for our toddler. The lovely lady at the store took the time to sit on the floor with my husband and son and try on many, MANY pairs of shoes until they found one in the bin that fit. My husband also said she was giving him tips about the shape of my little's feet and what to look for when buying shoes for him in the future. This is just one of many fantastic experiences I've had at this store.

Not very pleased as I brought a bin full of clothes (some brand new with tags) but upon coming back to the store the staff returned what they did not want to purchase and soon as I got home realized I was missing some of the things they apparently didnt want to buy from me.... shiesty

Their okay... prices can be pretty high for a second hand store other prices are great. I will add I have bought a few outfits from them that my daughter never wore so I brought them back for resale and they said they couldn’t accept them because “they were to worn”...
