How To Consign
Consigning with Oh Baby! Consignment Co.
Make money from your little’s outgrown clothes through our consignment program! We accept items from any season at any time. No appointment necessary!
All consigned items need to be in good condition, laundered, dust-free, spot-free, and folded or packaged neatly in a box or a bin. Please ensure all buttons are buttoned and snaps are snapped before bringing them to us. We will carefully examine merchandise for tears and/or stains.
We are not experts in the safety of apparel or gear and do not repair items. Please do not provide us with anything if you have any reason to believe it could be unsafe for our - oh so sweet!- little customers. We maintain high aesthetic and practical standards; therefore, if an item does not meet our standards, we reserve the right not to accept and/or sell it. If this is the case, we will notify you, giving you the option to take it back or have us donate it for you.
Our favourite brands are boutique, small shop, and local. However, we don’t shy away from larger brands like Gap, H&M, and Zara.
Please read over our consignment contract, then come to either of our shops (1427 or 1296 Ellis St) with your consignment items. Within two weeks, we will review your items and decide what is suitable to sell. We will contact you to discuss your items, giving you the option to pick up any that haven't been listed or have them donated to Mama's for Mama's on your behalf!
Our goal is to provide a consignment service designed to make you a good, fair profit from your little ones' outgrown quality clothing. This is one of the main motivations behind our business. We are so excited to be working with all you local mamas!
Sustainable, Circular Styles
For those of us passionate about sustainability, consignment is a wonderful alternative! We know that kids' clothes aren't the ultimate solution to our climate change crisis, but they are definitely part of the solution. The textiles industry is one of the most polluting. North Americans throw away over 10 million tonnes of clothing every year, averaging 37 kilograms per person. Since kids grow up so fast, this issue is exacerbated by the short-lived usage of their clothes. By consuming less but better, and sharing our good-quality clothes with our community, we work together to alleviate this issue.

How it works
Here’s everything you need to know about consigning with us!
At Oh Baby! Consignment Co., we offer an online and in-store consignment shopping experience for baby and kids' items. We specialize in designer, upscale, and sustainable brands.
Our consignors earn a competitive rate: 30% of the selling price paid by e-transfer, or 40% in store credit.
How do I consign?
Once you've collected your items, you can drop them off at either of our shops: 1427 or 1296 Ellis St. If you live out of town, you can also mail them to us. Please review our consignment contract prior to dropping off your items. A copy can be signed when you drop them off.
All consigned items need to be in good condition, laundered, dust-free, spot-free, and folded or packaged neatly in a box or a bin. Please ensure all buttons are buttoned and snaps are snapped before bringing them to us. We will carefully examine merchandise for tears and/or stains.

As we have many consignors, please allow 3-14 days for your items to appear on our website. Off-season items will be linked to your account and listed at the appropriate time of year.
How do I get paid?
Within the week after you drop off your consignment, you will receive an email prompting you to log into our online "Consignor Portal." This provides a report of your inventory, sold items, and your profit. If you chose the 30% cash paid via e-transfer option, you can request a payout at any time.
To request a payout, simply visit our “Request a Payout” page and fill in the form. Payouts can take up to 14 days.

What do you consider value brands, and are they accepted?
Items from the following brands, and similar quality and style: Anko, Baby Mode, Canadiana, Carter’s, Circo, Cherokee, Children's Place, Disney, Garanimals, George, Gerber, Gymboree, Joe Fresh, Calvin Klein, Kloz for Kids, Koala Baby, Nevada, Old Navy, Onesies, Osh-Kosh, Pekkle, Rococo, Simply Basic, Tuffy, and Tommy Hilfiger
Our goal is to be both inclusive and sustainable. Yes, we accept value brands, but we are extremely selective and price accordingly. Due to the large volume of items we receive from these brands, a good rule of thumb is that we typically only accept items that are less than 1 year old (look for a small label inside that indicates the year and/or season). We may also decline certain items from these brands if we have too many in stock.
Currently we are not accepting Baby Mode, George, Gerber, Onesies, Child of Mine by Carter's Simply Basic, Rococo, Koala Baby, or Pekkle.

We do not sell the items listed below. If you drop them off, we will donate them:
- Stained, ripped, dirty, or damaged items (broken zippers, missing buttons, worn hem etc.)
- Undergarments, homemade items
