How to Have Your Items Processed:
Option one: You drop your items off for us to go through as time permits. Accepted items will be sold and your store credit will be added to your account for later use. Non-accepted items will be donated.
Option two: You bring in your items in manageable quantities, we go through them immediately and return your non-accepted items. Store credit will be added to your account for your immediate use.
We gladly accept items on a first come, first served basis throughout the month during regular business hours, and no appointment is needed. Store credit, purchase and consignment values depend on condition, quality and demand. To help you get the most from your items, please follow these simple guidelines.
Condition:
Please pre-screen your items before bringing them in. Check for stains, holes, missing buttons, fading, pilling or worn areas. Make sure they smell fresh and are free from pet hair. If not on hangers, please bring your items flat in a box, tub or paper bag to minimize wrinkles. Your hangers and containers will be returned to you.
Quality and demand:
Please bring in items that are less than 2-3 years old and are still in style. We have limited storage for off-season clothing, however name brand items will be considered year round. Although name-brands sell best, with children growing so fast this isn't as important as condition and style.
Baby Equipment:
For safety and liability reasons, we do not sell car seats. All items should have all original pieces, straps, trays etc. Please include batteries when possible. Please call 345-1617 before you bring large items - we sometimes have to limit certain items due to space constraints. To protect children’s health and safety all equipment will be checked for safety recalls. Recalled items are subject to be returned or disposed of at our discretion.
Store Credit:
Store credit will be given for items with a resale value of less than twenty dollars. You will receive store credit for 50% of the selling price for these items. Store credit can be used immediately, or kept on an account for later use. Store credit can be used towards 50%-100% of the purchase price of most items at Apple Blossom Baby. New and consignment items may not be purchased using store credit.
Consignment:
Items with a resale value of twenty dollars or more will be considered for consignment. You will receive 50% of the selling price for these items, either immediately or when they sell, at the discretion of Apple Blossom Baby. Payments will be available for pick up in the form of a check at the store within 7 days from the date of sale. The consignment period is at least 90 days. After 60 days we reserve the right to reduce the selling price up to 25%.
Although every effort is made to reduce the risk, we do not accept responsibility for losses due to fire, theft, breakage or for other unforeseen reasons. Containers with large amounts of stained or damaged items may be returned to you for pre-screening. We reserve the right to revise our acceptance policy at any time.
