A Note About Consigning
We have begun accepting spring items for consignment!
We'd like to take this opportunity to talk about consignment. Sometimes we find our consignors aren't clear on how we work, why we have chosen to run things the way we do, etc.
We know there are many stores out there, and we do our best to be one of the easiest stores to consign with. You can drop off your in season items Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday during normal business hours. We offer you our Drop and Run program meaning that we do not make you wait while we sort through your goodies. We will call you when and if there are items we are unable to accept. Please limit your drop offs to two totes per visit. We accept clothing seasonally, and all larger items including baby gear, accessories, furnishings, cloth diapers, etc year round on our designated drop off days.
This allows us to get through drop offs quickly, without creating the huge lineups other stores suffer from, and it allows us to review bigger drop offs with care.
We work hard to get your items out and selling in just a few days - no waiting months to see if your items were accepted or not. And at the end of your consignment period, you're welcome to retrieve any unsold items - many stores no longer allow this.
We are a small shop, but we are one of the most successful per square foot in Winnipeg. Because we have a reputation for having top notch selection, we get far more in than we have room to handle. We have many consignors drive in from out of town including many remote areas such as Brandon, Thompson, and Kenora because they know we'll fetch them top dollar and because they enjoy shopping where they consign.
This means that we are far more selective than many other shops, and we turn away 75% of what is brought in to us. By reviewing our website or Face book page to see what our customers prefer, you can sort your items first and save yourself time lugging in items our particular customers aren't buying.
If we decline your items, please don't take it personally. We are never making our selections based on anything personal - we choose what we think will sell. After all, neither of us make money if we take items that don't sell!
As a consignor, it's in your best interest to tell as many friends, family members and coworkers about our store as possible - the more shoppers we see, especially new ones, the quicker your items will sell, and the more money you'll make! Be sure to pick up your BBB Frequent Shopper Card at the store for in store discounts . For more on this promotion and our other services, please visit our Face book page.
Check out our consignment program page for updates consignment program updates , and all the details! NOW is the best time to bring down your best baby gear-fill up your BBB BANK ACCOUNT so that you can shop in store with your store credit for all of the greatest new finds and fashions.
We accept non-clothing,baby gear, etc throughout the year on our regular drop off days. Please see consignment page for details.
We are very selective when accepting items for consignment, so our racks are stocked with only the best, and our shoppers love it! We stay on top of current pricing, so we’re competitive, and our customers can rely on that. Our store is clean and organized, and our staff members are friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming
If you ever have any questions about consigning with us, please don't hesitate to ask at the store, call us, or email us directly at jenn@babybin.ca
