Once Upon A Child

I have been here a couple times in the past and have found great deals on brand name clothing. The clothes are in great condition, some even with the tags still on them. I went in there Sunday with a box of left over items from a tag sale I had (dvds, games, books) and they gave me $ 21 for it which I thought was VERY good!

Great selection and most of the items and toys are in great shape… some are even brand new. Unfortunately for this location they have some pretty miserable workers. I know some people don’t love their jobs but at least try and pretend you aren’t completely hating what you do for work. Personally nothing annoys me more than being ignored when I ask a worker how they are. Plus when you sell it depends who you get. Sometimes you get what they say they pay (they sell for 30% of the value and pay you 30% of that) sometimes I’m offered that and other times (always the miserable ones…) offer you $ 1.25 for a $ 60 item. What happened to your guideline? I asked and she said it goes by the condition of the item… I said I know that and there isn’t a mark on it or sign of any wear it’s in excellent condition… she said well this is what I’ll offer you. I asked if she had the right item in the computer because it’s $ 60 brand new and I didn’t understand how they got that number. She rolled her eyes and I said never mind and dropped the thing off at Savers. They need to weed out the rude workers and it would be a much better place!

Always great. Amazing prices. Great selection. Bristol is the best Once Upon a Child around. I don’t go clothes shopping for my 4 year old anywhere else.

Generally well organized and pretty good selection of clothes for my 5 and 7 year old. There weren’t a tremendous amount of toys but that was not my primary reason for going. They do have shoes and sports equipment but it did not seem to diverse. The staff could be a bit more courteous and helpful but overall weren’t horrible.

They have a ton of used children’s clothes arranged by gender, size, garment type and even color. You really have to search for the good clothes. A lot of the clothes and shoes are so worn, I don’t even know who would buy them. Just because it’s name brand, doesn’t mean it’s worth putting on the shelves. The prices are reasonable and I usually find something I like. The consignment part is a rip off, but that’s expected. The workers aren’t the most professional or friendly, but for the savings I get from shopping there, I really don’t care.

If you’re looking for used childrens merch on the cheap, this is a good place to find it. You have to pick through the racks but you can find some good deals.

This place needs to hire people who A) are not teenagers and B) who want to have a job and C) know what current fashions are.
Sending me home with most of my sons barely worn vintage t-​shirts and saying «they looked worn» was a laugh considering the CRAP they had on the racks.
Next time I’ll have a tag sale.
