Weecycle Childrens and Maternity Consignment

I’m a big supporter of small business but it is becoming more and more difficult to do business here. I try to abide by all of the rules including 1) restricted drop off hours 2) definitely don’t bring your bag in before your name is called 3) make sure you don’t fold your clothes but to lay them flat in the bag 4) definitely don’t bring them in a plastic bag and the NEW rule I learned is that if you are bringing in an item that requires assembly setup YOU have to assemble it yourself (despite having all nuts and screws counted out WITH the instruction manual to verify all pieces are there). I’ll pass thank you very much!
Frankly, I am now guessing this is all catching up with them. FULL racks, they take less and less from my bag each time I consign, higher prices, and less foot traffic (from what it appears).
I want all small businesses to succeed but they have to do their part in making the customer feel welcome, important (because we are why you have a business in the first place), be competitive with prices, and go out of your way to work with the costumer!
I’ll continue to go there in the meantime in hopes there will be improvements but as soon as someone realizes there is a business opportunity in this market where reasonable prices are given and customers are valued, I fear for their future.

Great set up and merchandise are all in excellent condition. I find the staff to be a bit rude and lacking in how they communicate with customers. I was told to leave my stuff in my car until they were ready. I had a lot of stuff and some were heavy. When I did bring them in the lady said not put them on the counter. Each piece had to laid on the counter individually. Really bad attitude!

I’ve been a regular Weecycle shopper for 10 years and don’t know what the reviewer is talking about below who said the prices are high. I’ve got my most recent receipt and looking at two adorable Justice dresses, which run about $ 45 at the mall, for $ 8 each. This is a wonderful local business run by a hard-​working mother … she seems to have high standards for what she takes — high-​quality brands in like-​new condition. Great selection of brands, colors, sizes and clothes — I can usually find what I’m looking for here; have bought everything from a boys’ suit to girls’ ballet clothes to beautiful dresses and shorts sets.

I have never sold anything here but have bought plenty, from used maternity and kids clothes to a new stroller. I always check here for something I need before trying to buy it new. The stock changes all the time, so you can shop as frequently as you would like! They offer pretty deep discounts (25, 50, and even 75%) off of older items so that’s a nice plus. There is also an awesome playroom in the back for the kids, so my 3 and 4 yr old actually look forward to going to the store. They sell a lot of new high end strollers and furniture also, so don’t think it’s a standard ratty thrift store. Worth the time for sure.

I really do love WeeCycle!
I feel their prices are very reasonable!!! I found an adorable pair of baby Adidas shoes in like new condition for around $ 5. I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $ 9 for a pair of shoes. And I know I’ve always found a pair of shoes that I ‘had to have’ for the baby (now that I’m done with my shoe fetish that I am possibly passing down to my 19-​month-​old son)…
Their clothes always seem to be in great condition. I don’t remember how much I spent on an average outfit, but I know I’ve never found anything in there I didn’t think was a fair price. I’ve even found brand new outfits there, with the tags still on, for thrift store prices. They have a great selection of adorable clothes, as well.
I honestly drive over 40 miles to come to this store, that’s how good it is.
And FYI: They have a FaceBook account that you can friend and they give a ‘word of the day’ which gives you prizes that range from new items to gift cards.
Everyone there is friendly, helpful, smiling, and seems to love their job. And that makes all the difference (especially if you’ve read my review on The Monkey Cage.)

I scored a pair of perfect condition Seven for all Mankind maternity jeans for $ 35 and a pair of Citizen for Humanity jeans for $ 45 — WOW! I only visited the store once but I was certainly impressed and found a great deal!

Sure, you can get 30% value for your consignment as trade but who wants it from WeeCycle? They charge like new for used items. I’d rather stick to thrift stores who charge a fair price or garage sale hop anyday.

Perhaps it’s greedy or hypocritical of me in some way, but it’s nice to have a place to make some scratch off yr baby stuff rather than donating it. Sure, I donate tons of other stuff to the thrift stores around town, so then I don’t feel too guilty making a buck off the baby stuff. Anyhow, it seems a well-​oiled-​machine when you wanna bring your stuff in, and they give you a handy dandy number to keep track of all the sales and pay you out after the stuff sells. Pretty simple, and perhaps just a basic consignment shop, but it works for us. The selection is pretty decent, prices are ok — not that great for bargain hunters, it seems, but at least you save over buying new and have an option other than some dirty old broken thrift store baby junk.
